I made these images some time ago, but forgot to post them.

I used the SRTM test data available on:

ftp://edcsgs9.cr.usgs.gov/pub/data/srtm/

to make an air view of the main island of hawaii.  The height scale should
be correct, the resolution of the data is about 50 meters per pixel.

The first image has some fog and media for the atmosphere and clouds, the
second one is without.  The texture uses a combination of several slope
patterns, surely not that realistic, but getting a realistic image map of
that resolution is probably nearly impossible.

The third image shows a detail view.

Comments?

The terrain is the same resolution as in the full images, the detail view
is cut from a 5000x1000 render.

Try that with media.  ;o)  Well the one with media looks really good. The
horisont seems too bright but the island is like a photo! This setup is not
so simple, I'm also trying something with landscapes these days, so this
image prooves your experience with landscapes!

Hugo

No problem, thanks to 'method 3'. IIRC render time was quite reasonable
(<10 hours)

Thanks, a darker horizon usually looks quite 'dirty'.

Can you use a lowres image map to bias a hires slope map?

Oh, I wrongly made my question. How wide in kilometers is first image? How
wide in kilometers is detail view?

Well, the island is - others may correct me - about 200 km wide.  So the
detail view in the foreground is about 20 km i would estimate.
