WebGl Solar System Project

This project uses WebGL to model a solar system completed for one of my graphics classes. The challenges of this project included:
  • Planetary motion independent of camera location
  • Creating spheres with different resolutions
  • Making the sun the light source for the solar system
  • Trying out different shading styles
Movement throughout the 3D environment is possible by both rotating the camera and moving the camera in all directions

Movement works completely only in Chrome
