A free tile-based 3D globe renderer built with Three.js


LithoSphere is a completely free and open-sourced tile-based 3D globe renderer. First built within the Geographical Information System (GIS) application MMGIS, LithoSphere has been pulled out and refactored into a standalone, mapping focused, JavaScript library. At its core sits the brilliant Three.js library with all its extensible familiarity.
