wgpu-sky-rendering

A tiny example to show how to render allsky projections using wgpu-rs. Allsky projections are used in many ways to represented the earth/sky. This method does the projection per-pixel and runs in realtime.

Supported projections are:

• Aitoff
• Mercator
• Mollweide
• Azimuthal
• Gnomonic

See this link for information about map projections.

How it works

If you want more precision about the algorithm and techniques used:

• Read this article I wrote on my personal blog.
• See my talk at ADASS 2020 at this link.

Usage

Play with the left and right keys to change the current projection.
