Yeah ! I exactly meant this ! Your scene file is pretty cool :)

Now I need to set colors proportion (eg. 70% brown earth, 30% blue water) or
have random colors.
Next, texturize a spere with the map and add some cloud effect or any kind
of atmospheric effects.

Are there any scripting facilities in POV-Ray in order to generate n bmp
files ? With 1 < n < 1000.

So it will be:
- 1_flat.bmp
- 2_flat.bmp
- ....
- 999_flat.bmp
- 1000_flat.bmp

And:
- 1_sphere.bmp
- 2_sphere.bmp
- ....
- 999_sphere.bmp
- 1000_sphere.bmp
