I was working in Bryce5, a rather nice program. I was doing some stuff, and I started making a glass ball on a stand. Eventually I put a planet inside, which lead to this idea.
A small realistic globe-Earth placed inside a glass sphere with snowflake stuff inside. A few glass supports keep the globe in the center, and the globe has a weak magnet inside.
The snowflake stuff is magnetic, and after you shake it, the glitter swirls around, and eventually comes to rest at the north and south pole.
I got the idea from my pic I made [linkie] and imagine it would look like it, with snowstuff, and a more continentally correct Earth.-- DesertFox, Dec 19 2005 Here http://www.bryce5.c...s.php?image_id=1700is the link [DesertFox, Dec 20 2005] Nice image, [DF]. Got a copy of Bryce somewhere, but never got round to plugging it in.-- moomintroll, Dec 19 2005 You should. Bryce is fun!-- DesertFox, Dec 20 2005 random, halfbakery
