Earthify 3D [Earth LW]

Earthify 3D

Settings explained

Object visibility:

- Citylights: Whether or not to show city lights at night time.

- Clouds: Whether or not to show clouds.

- Atmosphere: Whether or not to show an atmosphere layer.

- Sun: Whether or not to show the Sun.

- Moon: Whether or not to show the Moon.

Motion:

- Camera autorotation speed: How fast should the camera rotate around the Earth? Or should it not rotate at all?

- Camera autorotation direction: Clockwise or anti-clockwise camera rotation?

- Physics: How fast should the time pass by?

User input:

- Touch rotation: Whether or not to allow single-touch interaction.

- Touch sensitivity: How fast should the camera rotate around the Earth when interacting using touch?

- Pinch-to-zoom: Whether or not to allow dual-touch pinch-to-zoom.

- Pinch-to-zoom sensitivity: How fast should the camera zoom in or zoom out?

- Rotation sensor: Whether or not to allow sensor influencing rotation.

- Rotation sensor sensitivity: How fast should the camera rotate around the Earth when using a sensor?

- Free vertical rotation: Is the camera allowed to freely rotate in the vertical direction using interaction?

- Free horizontal rotation: Is the camera allowed to freely rotate in the horizontal direction using interaction?

Graphics:

- Earth texture quality: What should the quality of the Earth texture be?

- Citylights texture quality: What should the quality of the citylights texture be?

- Clouds texture quality: What should the quality of the clouds texture be?

- Background texture quality: What should the quality of the background texture be?

- Sun texture quality: What should the quality of the Sun texture be?

- Moon texture quality: What should the quality of the Moon texture be?

- Model geometry quality: What should the quality of the models be?

- Combine texture layers: Should the Earth, citylights and clouds textures be combined?

- 3D background: Should the background be 2D or 3D?

- Lighting: Should the Sun emit light?

- Lens flare: Should the Sun have a lens flare effect?

- Shader: Should the models have a shader applied?

Advanced settings:

- Atmosphere color: RGB (Red-Green-Blue) color for the atmosphere layer. Allowed values: 0~255

- Swap: Should the textures be swapped if possible? This will reduce memory usage.

- Mipmap: Should the textures be mipmapped?

- Color depth: 16-bit or 32-bit textures? 16-bit will reduce memory usage.

- Texture filtering: Should the textures be filtered? (Low quality textures will look pixelated when disabled)

- Texture compression: Should the textures be compressed?

- Texture compression (ETC1): Should the textures be compressed using ETC1? (not all devices support this)

Support

The quality of the textures highly depends on the available RAM/memory on your device.

More RAM/memory = Higher quality textures.

This application supports Android 2.1 devices and higher version of Android.

Keep in mind that older versions of Android might lack some features.

Please do report bugs and errors to: [email protected]

Known bugs/errors:

Realtime rotation position of moon is not correct, only it's positions are.

Out of memory crashes when device cannot handle higher quality textures
