ridgeline

A 3D globe visualizer that renders planetary terrain as stacked ridgeline plots.

3D WebGPU explorer of the solar system’s solid worlds, each rendered as a globe of stacked Joy Division “Unknown Pleasures” latitude ridgelines from real elevation data. Eleven bodies, Rust/WASM heightfield core plus a WGSL compute pass. Terrain streams progressively from a Hugging Face dataset as the camera descends.
