Go to povray.binaries.images and download the two earth
image maps I posted about 2-3 weeks ago. Then read up in
the docs on using the spherical bump mapping and
spherical image mapping operation. If you need an example
let me know.
Happy rendering !

The easiest way is just to create a sphere and use a spherical surface
map. I did this with an image I got from the NASA web site. Check out my

Did you use povray to create the mount'ns in the 1st pic?
(oldies.html)
If not, what did you use? If so how? (or just point me to
the right doc)

What you are seeing is a Pov generated Height Field. There are many
ways to create them but the easiest is by using a heght field modeling
program like Leveller.
See my links in the group below for several programs that produce images
usable for height fields in Povray.
