A couple people had expressed interest in a little side project I've been working on using some hefty mapping software to make an interactive 3D map of New Eden. I've uploaded a video to youtube wherein I go through some of the basic features I've done so far. At the moment the only data I have in there are system names, regions, and security status. Eventually I'll have all the basic data that is helpful to have, such as number of moons, planet types, ore belts, stations, etc. Once I get the links between systems in there it'll also have the ability to plan routes like all the other route planners out there.

Anyway, here's the link:

Comments/advice/rants appreciated. Keep in mind that is is a work in progress, and it is in the beginning stages.

have you seen https://github.com/ccpgames/ccpwgl ?

Might be of interest.

http://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/webgl/demos/starmap.html is a copy of the demo code.

Woo! CSM XI!

Nice..

Can't wait to see it when you have the system detail data integrated.

I hadn't seen that actually. It is interesting; kinda make what I've done seem a bit superfluous... Ugh

Maybe not, when CREST comes online, and since you know your source, you may find all sorts of uses for your map.

I wouldn't say superfluous. It's almost certainly easier to do some things to. Like adding labels at certain zoom levels.

Make it work with the LeapMotion.

That's where you need to go.

Not going to get a whole lot of users right away, but it would be pretty damn cool.
