Earth

It's round. Sorry to burst your bubble but if its perfectly flat how come this pic shows the curvature of the earth.

If its flat than ireland should be in Dubai and its clearly not any FLAT map will show that.



If it's flat why a horizion? why have i not fallen off it yet?

The sun is NOT the size of luxembourg



I cant see europe or the rest of africa because it's on the fucking other side of the....what? disc? no globe. So theres just a one flat ring foing around the planet where i can look down bowth flanks of the earth? unlikely.

If it was flat it would be a ninner plate. buy a globe and like it.

That looks like a wide angle fisheye lens.

It would show a curvature no matter where you were standing.

This.  And the second shot is shopped.

I suppose you have some data to back that up?

Do you honeslty belive that as soon as a fish-eye lens is used, everything seen in that picture is of perfect proportion?

If it's flat why a horizion? why have i not fallen off it yet?

Read the FAQ about the horizon. Then understand that you haven't fallen off yet because you aren't at the edge.

The sun is NOT the size of luxembourg

Do you have any proof for this outlandish claim?

This image is fabricated. In no way is that even a real life photo of earth.

wth is a ninner plate?

Not everything is photoshopped. There are other softwares out there too.

The first image is just like showing (from Eiffel Tower):



It proves nothing.

Modern society accepts the use of photoshop as a verb to indicate image doctoring.

No, not modern society. Just you noobs that have no clue.

I do alot of CGI work and photoshop doesn't even touch it.

Also, since when was creating a picture of a round earth, image doctoring?

So, the majority of people just use a word to mean something, and yet they're all entirely wrong and have no clue?

Jut because they don't know how to use it, doesn't mean the word isn't valid. Languages evolve. Ever use the word 'google' to mean "Look it up on a search engine?" Then you're a culprit of the exact same thing. For the third and hopefully final time:

Get over it.

If they proclaim to have used a 3D model to place 2d images onto, they will have had to distort these images somewhat in order to place them on. I've explained this in detail before but put simply:

2d images don't fit on 3d models without distortion.

When people say "Google [something]" They dont go to yahoo to search it. They go to google.

2d images don't fit on 3d models without distortion.

That's why, when you create a 3D texture, you do very specific texture maps which leaves huge holes in the 2D image.
Usually both though.

Why did you quote yourself in response to an answer, when I answered the question in your own quote?

Surrounded by a pack of retards.

Let's keep it civil, please.

yet the CGI folks I use do use photoshop

being said photoshop has transcended brand in the english language to mean image doctoring... not sure what the fuss is about

The thread is as good as dead. You guys are arguing over nonsense crap.

Image doctoring and Image creation are two different things.

2fst4you is assuming that "shopped" is the term that modern society uses for both of those.

alright bowing out of this wankerfest

Now that is something I can agree on. 

2d images don't fit on 3d models without distortion.

That all depends on:

A) how many 2d images there are.
B) how many faces the model has.

Unless your are arguing about the North and South poles of Google Earth, that's not distortion to make them fit - but distortion, from close reference points, because that's how they fit.

No, I don't want to get into it too much as I've explained it before and nobody understood it.

Photo of 3d object creates a 2d [distorted] version (Not the fact that it's on a flat piece of paper, but more the fact that things like countries disappearing behind the horizon are squashed. The photo of the country has captured a distorted image of the object at the edges.)

Then placing those 2d object onto the 3d model requires further distortion. Sure, if done well it might cancel it out but there's no saying that it has.

Needs more images.

which is point A)


Would you agree that photos of the ground 1mm x 1mm in size would not be influenced by your distortion?

Of the earth, yes it would be negligible. It's all about scale.
