At the risk of starting another spate of earth sphere renders, today's
Astronomy Picture of the Day features one I haven't seen, yet. It looks like
a whole earth picture I've seen before, but this one is a bit different and
much more appropriate for earth sphere renders:

More details. Has ice over antarctica and the arctic, and has ocean
floor detail.

I made a .bmp of it for use with POV, that's 23 MB uncompressed.
9.6 MB zipped. 8.6 MB rarred. 3.4 MB jpegged.

Hi,
just because I see the earth map thread and Perry's link:
It popped up in my mind that I once modelled Jupiter by just using stacked
textures which can be animated easily. I adjusted the colours and textures
according to a NON-colour-enhanced picture as released by NASA (at least
they claim that it is in "natural/human" colour composition).
If interested I can post the code.
See the animation (speed over-exaggregated) in p.b.a.
I know that there are tons of models available for POV but I like
hand-modelling. (I mean: applying downloaded texture maps isn't really a
challenge, is it??)
have fun,
regards,
SY
PS: Venus by using textures only is available too, as well as a 16-bit gray
TGA heightfield of Mars' surface by using MOLA data. Saturn was never
finished due to time restrictions. Maybe I start over again and create the
1001st POV model *lol*
Attached the Jupiter pic I mentioned.

Darnit, the 10k version doesn't work :(
