Olympus VIII environment sources

The interactive environment streams Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles through Cesium ion. Google and Cesium attribution remains visible in the viewer. Streamed Google geometry and imagery are not included in the downloadable Blender project.

Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data 2024. True-colour Sentinel-2 L2A scenes S2B_34TEK_20240815_0_L2A and S2B_34TFK_20240815_0_L2A, distributed as public COGs through the Sentinel-2 cloud-optimized GeoTIFF collection.

ESA WorldCover 2021 v200, Zanaga et al. 2022, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.7254221, CC BY 4.0. Land-cover classification is retained for source editing; it is not an invented vegetation survey.

Surfaces and references

Rock Face 03, Dario Barresi and Rico Cilliers / Poly Haven, CC0. Original scan width 2.7 metres. Colour, normal, roughness and displacement source maps are retained. This generic rock scan is colour-graded toward limestone; it was not scanned on Mount Olympus.

Mytikas from Skala, stefg74, 2011, CC BY 2.0, used as a source reference in the project. The reference photograph is not the satellite terrain texture.

Storm density and overcast reflection maps are original deterministic procedural assets. Character models, architecture and animation are preserved from the existing Olympus VIII project.

Rendering limits

Cesium renders mesh lighting with rasterized PBR and shadow maps. Its storm clouds use depth-aware volume ray marching. Cycles uses path tracing for the separately generated Blender validation renders. A 30-metre elevation model cannot resolve every narrow summit cliff. Orthometric Copernicus source heights and Cesium ellipsoid heights are recorded separately.
