I am doing some work on a story involving Jupiter and her moons.  A
long time ago I saw a place where you could download bump maps and
image maps of all the planets... Does anyone know where this info is?

Here are three good places to start:
http://www.btinternet.com/~consty/render/render_f.htm
http://www.radcyberzine.com/xglobe/index.html#maps
http://www.vterrain.org/Imagery/whole_earth.html

If you can't find a good bump map of Earth I have one, just write to me
directly and I'll be glad to send it to you. I've never seen bump maps of
all the planets, only Earth, Venus, and the Moon.

Regards,
Dave

P.S. - Ken probably has a bunch more links - don't forget to check his,
that's probably where I got these from originally.

	google search, images, planets, NASA that sort of thing. They are all
over.
