And I have also discover some "scanning noise" on some area (oblique lines
close to some mountains). Unfortunatly, it's the better sources I found
that is not too expensive (30 Euro for all France area in 75 meters
resolution). Otherwise, I have to by DEM data from french IGN institute it
cost more money and I have to pay for every area I need.

As you can see my script
http://destroyedlolo.homeunix.org:8080/~laurent/Lac_SlMap.pov is very
simple : my goal there was only to find if I can generate something
acceptable using POV and my DEM. Now, I will play w/ textures to improve
the result and, I hope, hide scanning noise.

Thanks and regards,

Laurent
