I am trying to cobble together a scene that basically consists of:
- A 2D image of the earth (think NASA satellite photography) that has been rotated into a view similar to this and,
- Cylindrical tubes that I want place at specific lat/lon coordinates.
I have managed to setup the 2d image as depicted in the link above, but I am struggling with creating the cylinders. The effect I am hoping to achieve should look something similar to this. Anyway, I realize this description isn't really a lot to go on, I guess that is because I know so little I am not sure what to ask :)
Any hints? Names of GL functions I should lookup would be especially useful. Oh yeah, I am using PyOpenGL in case that matters?
Thanks!
