Question: Is it possible to use/retrieve Geodata from Google-Earth ?

What I want to do is take a little area, get terrain information (coordinates, height, elevation) and simulate how the selected area would be flooded at specified amounts of rain for a specified amount of hours.

I am currently writing the positions of my geometry to the RGB channels of gl_FragColor and I would like to write 1.0 to the alpha channel if the fragment is part of geometry, and 0.0 if its empty. Is there a simple way to tell if a fragment is geometry or not? Maybe through gl_FragCoord.z? thanks >>> More
