I am pleased to announce that the 5 Gigapixel Image:
http://earth.imagico.de/5gp/
has been completely rendered now. AFAIK it is at the moment the most
detailed image generated using 3d rendering techniques.

Great stuff! It could be interesting to (ab)use the Google Maps API to
display the images, like this guy did with his artwork
http://www.microtyp.org/
See http://www.google.com/apis/maps/

This is fantastic!
But
http://earth.imagico.de/5gp/view.php?tile=67A_50
...
The tile you have selected has not yet been rendered.

I thought about something like that. This would however require
significant web server ressources (I don't even want to try to imagine
the machine power behind Google Maps).

I've tried it. Only at the medium resolution range
(like http://earth.imagico.de/5gp/tiles/99B_large.jpg)
where all the tiles exist.
There's a bit of a problem at the moment with the Google API when using
custom tiles running from slow image servers. The code was written to
use the fast Google tile servers and has a tendency to not wait quite
long enough for images from slower servers. Google did log it as a bug a
while ago, but it's not fixed yet. It causes some tiles to be omitted
from the render, leaving big grey holes.
I imagine that viewing the tiles this way might be a considerable drain
on earth.imagico.de, so I'll not publish it.
