3D
images from various rotational angles. Click on the small image to
download a larger one. In hindsight, I should not have generated
these images from a perspective looking straight on at the equator - for
some of the rotational angles (0,90,180,270 degrees) you cannot see the
individual bricks, since their edges are all parallel to your line of sight.
Maybe a new set of images in my spare time .... coming soon will be some
animated GIF sequences of a spinning globe.

FLATGLOBE image
The image below was obtained by taking the resulting dataset of brick locations and colors and projecting back onto a 2D map of the world. It provides a perspective on how the latitudes towards the equator are sampled better than those towards the poles.
CROSSSECTION images
These are the images which are used to guide the actual construction of the globe. There are 30 images, and each one is a z-plane crosssection through the globe showing the colors of the bricks at the surface. Two sample images are shown below Click either of the following links to download a compressed archive (tar.gz or zip) of the entire image set:
