Create a Realistic Earth with Shaders

Let’s return to creating a realistic Earth using Three.js. Unlike the previous Earth1, we are going to render Earth using shader material. First, we will describe the day and night with two different textures, since there are city lights at night. Second, I’ll make an effect for mountain shado...
