Update 27.1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cloud speed is now simulated based on an object’s temperature and rotation speed. Surface simulation performance improvements, an Appearance interface redesign, adjustable planetary rim lighting, and more round out this minor update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The feature image shows a laser heating up the Earth to speed up the cloud rotation and our new atmosphere opacity property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
