Short: 724x482 Real3D V2 raytrace. Topographic bumpmapped earth Author: bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de Type: pix/trace Architecture: generic Shows a sphere color mapped with a topographic map of the earth with the usual colors (shades of blue for below Zero, green, yellowish to brown for increasing heights) and bump mapped using a greyscale image of the same data. To add a little ambience I added a second sphere with turbidity to simulate a (way too thick!) atmosphere. This image is not meant to look like the earth in space, but I like it anyway. Pink
