This is really cool, big fan of the lo-poly look. I just wish the camera didn't have so much (random?) movement. And maybe a way to change which way the balls fall from and also their size/weight?
It took me a while to figure out, but the camera centers around the white ball. If you use the arrows you are controlling the white ball, not the camera. Spacebar seems to make it go "up".
Ok whoa, this just got way cooler. Hold the left and right arrows alternately for a bit each side, you can build up a pretty big orbit..
Thanks, the low-poly planet models was created by others but they are really cool. The controls can be frustrating because I use velocity for the movement and it is connected to the ball not the camera.
Awesome, a little confusing how to interact with it (it wasn't clear to me what the arrow keys were moving for a bit). Might be better with some controls/brief tutorial message.

First time I've seen Playcanvas too, looks neat!

That would explain why I couldn't figure out how to use it on mobile.
How does this work? Arrow keys don't do anything.

All I see is this: https://api.url2png.com/v6/P4DF2F8BC83648/af98f60a5846961e02...

and nothing to interact with.

Your browser needs WebGL support.
I'm kinda disappointed that Jupiter is so small.
Simply beautiful. What are your plans for the library?
Thank you, nothing special just some minor changes to make this scene more realistic.
No New Zealand on the map - Typical north-hemisphere neo imperialism :)
Another success for Clan McGillicuddy's defence strategy.

To be clear, to all the non-fun foreigners, there is no New Zealand.

Move right along, nothing to see here....

You're not fooling anybody. I'm coming to visit your beautiful country whether you like it or not!

Suck it New Zealand people.

How do you know? I was trying to rotate the scene in a usual 'arcball' fashion but I'm not able to see southern hemisphere.
No UK, Japan or Antarctica either.

Where's my Iceland then!?

wish you could make the sun and planets size to actual scale :)
Do you have also this glitchy background when you open the webpage on mac & chrome?
Controls are bad but nevertheless I find it amazing, sweet soundtrack!
Anyone know how playcanvas handles antialiasing? Their scenes are beautiful.
PlayCanvas is built on WebGL which leverages hardware antialiasing by default.
