Low Poly Earth

About

After seeing demos of Claude and GPT construct Manhattan and other city neighborhoods in 3D I was inspired to make something similar but for the entire Earth.It's a low poly version of Google Earth built using open street and elevation data as a native Apple silicon Mac app. It was built entirely using Codex and Claude Code and took about 80 days.

finally, a low poly version of Earth that doesn’t look like it was made in a hurry. really cool concept!

cool concept, but how does it stack up against existing mapping tools?

cool idea, but the textures look kinda flat. would be interesting to know the tech stack behind it.
