Most of my action is centered around Ceres, and there I use some NASA height data at ~20m per pixel, and rocky textures which I create myself but are designed to look like the Dawn mission photography. I did a few megapixel texturing of Earth as well, and that was pretty nice, with roughly 1 texture pixel to 1 headset pixel, so it's as good as you can see in VR, but I didn't work much on an atmosphere shader. That's pretty important for a good looking Earth, especially sunrise/sunsets | |
