Como criar um novo planeta no Google Earth

Question

Estou criando meu próprio mundo fictício para um projeto meu e quero usar o Google Earth para mapear o planeta. Então, como faço para criar um novo planeta no Google Earth?

Editar: isso é possível no Google Earth enterprise, mas estou procurando uma maneira de fazer isso na versão gratuita do Google Earth. Isso é provavelmente possível editando o código do Google Earth.

    

Answer 1

Usando o software Google Earth para seu próprio "mundo"

Google Earth Enterprise

Create a customised Google Earth globe with proprietary data

Editando o código do Google Earth

Google Earth is a proprietary application that runs on Windows, Mac and Linux, but lacks a real API. An open source alternative to Google Earth is NASA World Wind, which, ironically, is a Windows-only application.

25 November 2006, we've got the letter from Michael Jones, the Chief Technologist of Google Earth, Google Maps, and Google Local search, requesting us to cease reverse engineering and improper usage of licensed data that Google Earth use.
