Star Trek Simulation

In the final semester for my Graphics final project I came up with a very neat idea of simulating the first minute of TNG intro movie. This application is very CPU intensive, and the end result of simulation varies slightly depending on CPU speed & load factors. This was my OpenGL Graphics final project.

I've generated the planet using formula & snippet I found online. The download contains entire project source code, exe, as well as bitmaps used for texturing. The simulation is created by moving the perspective closer to center(the Sun), and/or planar revolution around pre-defined focii.
