I am trying to create a nice rotating earth globe (on mouse) on my web
site, in order to display my professional relationships all over the
world. The best way seems to be a java applet. I already found some
interesting java applets (LiveGraphics3D, Globe Applet...) but they
display a ugly representation of the earth. For example LiveGraphics3D
works with the 3D graphical objects of Mathematica (using
intersections of polygons). My question is how can I create a
BEAUTIFUL interacting globe using a quality satellite photo. This is a
very usefull applet for everybody. All suggestion welcome!

You problem is to find a series of images. It is fairly easy to just
display them one after the other with a time delay. Try
images.google.com. See ImageViewer as part of

There is no need to dymically render a 3D image.
