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.

If anyone is looking for some bigger colour, bump and specular Earth maps
you can find them here

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.

JPEG.  Looks a lot like the 4k wide image at

Hmmm, I just tried it and they all downloaded ok for me.
Try again and if they still don't work I'll ask James to relocate them for
you.
