Everything in this image is based on the rainfall & temperature maps I 
posted a while ago.

The stratus cloud is a little too thick, causing a white out in the bottom 
right areas, but otherwise I'm pretty happy with it.

There's still a few things I want to do with it, but this is only 1 part of 
the IRTC image I'm working on and the competition deadline is fast 
approaching, so I'm probably going to focus on the other elements.

Very cool. Much better than purely random fractals.

I'm curious what the white line around the continents is. If that's supposed 
to be surf, I think you're far too far away to see surf.

I don't speak for Tek, but my guess is sandy beaches ...

AWESOME!

Believable continent shapes, (almost) realistic cloud swirls... much 
better than anything I could achieve during the last 14 years using POV-Ray!

Do you already use real relief or is it just a "flat" texture with some 
normals added? If the former, then these large inland seas seen right of 
the center should be at somewhat different altitude levels...

I can't wait for a high-scale atlas, let's say 1:1,000,000...

See you in Khyberspace!

Yep! In fact it's from the water-colour calculation, the more shallow the 
water the closer to that light-yellow colour it gets. If I have time I'll do 
something more like my earlier versions which had more variety in beaches 
and sea-floor materials.

It's just a texture with normals. I might put the clouds on a concentric 
sphere a small distance above the ground so they cast a shadow, but I have 
no plans to make the surface 3D.

  Amazing... there is even a peninsula that looks like Spain! :)

I've added ice caps, snow on mountains, and tweaked the clouds. I think it's 
done, for now!

Very, very nice, Tek.  Are you releasing your code by chance??

The green is somehow too intensive and ... too green. Get it more towards 
the olive drab direction. Then you should be fine!
