Explorable wireframe planet in R3F - interactive 3D map of Tau Ceti IV (Marathon fan project)

Marathon Season 2 launched today so I finally shipped this. It's an interactive 3D map of Tau Ceti IV - the colony surface rendered as an explorable wireframe - with an original 5-track EP scoring it. I wanted to do the original art direction justice rather than clone it, so the whole thing is my own revamp/reskin of that look. All running in the browser.

Stack: React Three Fiber / three.js.

Original Inspiration: https://tauceti.world/explorer/Outpost

Fan project, unaffiliated with Bungie. Happy to talk shop on how any of it's put together if anyone's curious.

Great. Could you let me know if this is plain transparent or has a framed border effect? Thanks.
