Hi there
this is a small test using a 30mx30m elevation grid on which I mapped the
corresponding roadmap. This is the Mont Blanc area (the winding road in red
above Chamonix is the one going to the tunnel entrance).
Maybe I'll try to add some small clouds later on...

Many people think it's the highest mountain of Europe (4807 m), but
recently there's a trend to accept Mt. Elbrus (5633 m) in the Russian
Caucasus as "top of Europe"!
See you in Khyberspace - I'll have much higher mountains there, such as
Mt. Noshaq (7450 m) and Koh-e Bandakor (6843 m)!

Hi, nice stuff.
Some time ago, I tried to render DEM files with povray, but there are lots
of differents types of DEM files.
What type did you use, what converter, where did you find the DEM where the
maps?
Cheers,
Fabien

I got the data from somewhere on the net (can't remember where though). A
great resource for elevation data is the Nasa SRTM data (google for SRTM or
go to : ftp://e0srp01u.ecs.nasa.gov/)
Once you've obtained the file containing the elevations (a n x m matrix,
each of the element being an altitude), edit it in a text editor. As the
file is in binary format, you'll see tons of silly characters. Just add at
the begining of the file the following lines :
P5
1201 1201
65535
and save the file with extension ".pgm". You'll then have a picture that you
can use with POV. 1201 1201 is the size of the matrix, so adapt it to your
data. 65535 is the max value.

where I asked about the same question and Christoph kindly gave his reply.
I hope this has been helpful...
