Hello.

I have created this from an old example

 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/threejs/original/3X/f/7/f7eb0c09181e0123c5c2dcc06ec601181c10629d.png)

But instead of circles, i want it to be individual planes of different colors, and have them rotating. But for some reason i can’t get it to replace the circles with a geometry, is there anyone who know how to do it?

Here is the code:

Thank you in advance!

Hi!  
Here is a sphere, made of planes: [Global Impacts (waves + trails)](https://discourse.threejs.org/t/global-impacts-waves-trails/23445)

I need to make all the land of the globe be planes, i don’t need the water and stuff 🙂 Can i use that example for that?

@hrbang  
How did you do it for points? 🙂  
It reminds me of this: [Globe of points](https://discourse.threejs.org/t/globe-of-points/2204)

That is exactly the tutorial i followed, just used a different globe image since the other link is dead. But i want it to be plane geometries instead of the circles and have yet succeeded.
