Rendered from the same terrain, imagery and resort data as the browser twin, in Blender and Unreal Engine 5.8.
Formats
One model, four formats
Every format is built by script from the same open data: OpenStreetMap, Esri World Imagery, AWS Terrain Tiles and the resort facts published by Red Sea Global.
Browser twin
three.js; 1.1 m imagery at the resorts, terrain and sea floor, water with sky reflection and sun glint, NOAA sun position by the minute, English and Arabic. Phones, tablets, desktops; expo mode with an automatic tour.
Open →Scene file
Terrain and close-up zones with their imagery, sea surface shader, physical sky at the real sun position, camera paths; GLB and FBX exports.

Kiosk mode
Opens straight into the tour and returns to it 75 seconds after the last touch. All imagery ships with the site, so the twin runs from the venue network or offline after the first load.
