PROCESS

How it was made.

How it was made.

Sentinel-2 true-color imagery from the mission’s launch through 2025 was assembled into a local-summer composite for both hemispheres. Clouds and cloud shadows were removed. Coastlines, extreme latitudes and thousands of difficult local areas were checked and corrected manually.

A WORD FROM THE CREATOR

Tomáš Gríger

TECHNICAL ARTIST · CREATOR OF PLANETKA

I built Planetka to make real Earth data practical for visual production. The work combines data processing, manual correction and the tools needed to turn a global dataset into finished images and animation.
