Earth 3D folding an equirectangular projection

Описание: This video shows how an equirectangular projection of the world map can be folded into a globe.
The heightmap used is the ETOPO1 Global Relief Model. Relief is exaggerated by a factor 100 for this video.
Credits for the earth model and texture:

The ETOPO1 Global Relief Model is available at: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/global/r...
The world grid used is ETOPO1 Ice Surface, grid-registered, binary: etopo1_ice_g_i2.bin

As a texture the image 'color_etopo1_ice_full.tif' from NCEI is used (see description, authors and link at the ETOPO1 page).
