    I am making a flat-projection version, although I do not want it to simply be me rerendering this in Mollweide (the projection used in the other videos). The video will make tweaks to the coastlines. That version will run forwards in time and will not be labeled as these two videos are to be used in conjunction with one another.

      Algol Can you extend to 4-5 billion years in the future?
      do it from 4.27 billion years ago stop from the present day and start again till 4-5 billion years in the future

    • @AlgolZ
      @AlgolZ  5 лет назад +32

      @Fractal Mapping that is an impossible task. Predicting anything past 200-300 million years is not possible and if left alone, plate tectonics will stop altogether in 1 billions years.

      Specifically to make the 360 thing, RUclips has a metadata tool that lets you inject the required metadata to a video file to say that it's a VR video. Some video editing programs have the option built-in during rendering as well.
      Specifically to make this animation, GPlates.

      Sources disagree on the placement of some of the blocks in Rodinia, particularly Siberia and the China blocks. Most, however, agree that Laurentia was the core of the continent and that the other landmasses were around it.
