        Well, I let the computer on during the night and in the morning it was done. The modell was too unrealistic though, I won´t have any use for it. But at least I now have the STL-importer for future use 👍

          I think it has exaggerated relief features.
          Perhaps processing it with one of Fredo's tools could lessen that ?
          Perhaps his Scale or JPP ?

            Thanks, TIG, but I threw the modell away. I would need high res terrain as well and I´m not skilled enough to make all these operations. I will keep looking for a modell to buy. It amazes me that there aren´t more cloudless topographic modells out there to buy, preferably with the land in greyscale and a seperate ocean layer.

            I also see people selling otherwise free SU warehouse modells at various sites.. 👎

              Why does it need to be geometric terrain? Isn't displacement less overhead?

              Even a bump map would suffice.

                I guess I good bump map would do, but I don´t know how to go about it. The example I attached in the start of the the thread is pretty much what I want. How it´s made is quite irrelevant as long as it looks good and the terrain is showing.

                  To get good detail you'd need a bump map at 30000px x 10000px approx

                  Which is pointless to load into SU as it caps display at 4096

                  I'm still unsure of what exactly you want and what it is for.

                  I do think you're bringing a breadstick to a knife fight asking SU to do this.

                    The guy who did the globe in my attached example did the whole thing in Photoshop from NASA material. I remember him saying the file was huge. Maybe SU can´t handle this type of operation, like you said. But I wouldn´t need it to be that high res, just alright when zooming in on a continent. The example you did in Blender looked very nice.

                    I would use the globe to render out different views for infographics. It would be super usefull.

                      wish i could help but i don't use vray.

                      what you are asking is pretty straight forward though.

                      better to do it outside SU using a Studio renderer like Thea or Maxwell.
