Rendering is the process of generating an image from models by means of a computer program. Using the code and images linked to the right you can also render the planets and change the viewing perspective or arrangment of the planets. Planet "skins" are also provided in the links below. These image skins are wrapped around spheres in POV-Ray for each planet. If you are just getting started, you can begin with a Simple Earth Rendering example.
