I was referring to you planet rendering system in general; the seams are
clearly visible in a few pictures, although the St. Helens image is very
good.  Of course it also depends on the field of view.  From your pages I
understood your techinque already uses intepolated transition zones between
hi and lo detail areas -- is it just that some images don't utilize this
feature (for example, earth_kilimanjaro1.jpg)?

How much pre-processing these images require?  Can you have the global
height/texture data 'as is' on the disc, and have your modded pov-ray
selecting which parts to actually read into memory?
