Media Gallery

High-resolution images, visualizations, and video demonstrations of the E.D.E.N. planetary simulation ecosystem.

The E.D.E.N. planetary engine is as much a visual platform as it is a scientific one.
This gallery collects our most striking renders, overlay demonstrations, geodesic tessellations, subsystem visualizations, and development previews.

All visuals here reflect real simulation output — no mockups, no concept art.
What you see is the actual engine, in motion.


Planetary Renders

Global views, surface detail, and the geodesic foundation.

These images showcase the core planetary topology and rendering stack.
They reveal the underlying geodesic tessellation as well as the surface-level simulation fields rendered in real-time.


Geodesic Tessellation

The structural geometry beneath every simulation.

These images highlight the hex/pent dual icosahedral topology that powers the entire E.D.E.N. simulation.
They demonstrate equal-area tiling, uniform adjacency, and the clean global symmetry of the mesh.


Environmental Overlays

Scalar fields, vector flows, and subsystem interactions.

E.D.E.N.’s overlay system visualizes environmental processes with scientific clarity.
Here we display several canonical overlays:

  • elevation shading
  • slope / gradient overlays
  • atmospheric temperature
  • pressure fields
  • hydrological flow vectors
  • watershed and basin classification
  • biome envelopes (early ecology previews)

Subsystem Visualizations

Geology, hydrology, atmosphere, ecology, and energy.

Each subsystem produces multiple fields that interact to form emergent global behavior.
These visuals highlight:

  • watershed emergence
  • air-flow convergence
  • pressure bands and jet-stream analogs
  • moisture and evaporation patterns
  • biome-region clustering
  • energy potential fields

Tools & Inspectors

Deep inspection of simulation state.

E.D.E.N. includes tools for probing tiles, edges, vectors, gradients, and subsystem data.
These images demonstrate:

  • tile inspector popups
  • vector tracing tools
  • field sampling instruments
  • scenario-guided inspection modes
  • overlay switching and layering

Videos

Demonstrations of planetary evolution, scenario tools, and overlays in motion.

Below are curated video demonstrations highlighting:

Planetary Rotation & Layer Cycling

  • switching between geology / hydrology / atmosphere overlays
  • real-time geodesic mesh reveal
  • smooth transitions between fields

Atmospheric Behavior

  • pressure gradients evolving over time
  • vector field flow visualization
  • moisture and condensation changes

Hydrology Flow

  • dynamic water routing
  • flow accumulation and basin emergence
  • topography to watershed relationship

Time Controls & Scenario Engine

  • time acceleration
  • single-tick stepping
  • scenario-driven visualization sequences

Development Snapshots

Behind-the-scenes imagery from active development.

These images reflect active work on:

  • subsystem prototypes
  • overlay renderer iteration
  • visual debugging tools
  • mesh research
  • field and tick system validation
  • internal architecture mapping

Educational Previews

Early concepts for classroom scenarios and guided lessons.

These visuals preview what educators and learners will experience in the Education Edition:

  • rainfall cycle scenarios
  • river formation analysis
  • climate band interpretation
  • biome boundary behavior
  • scenario script step-throughs
