    if you still need a topographic map i recently ( in February ) completed a massive 12 gig ( 131072 x 65536 Px. ) RGB image of the SAR radar
    and a 4 gig 16 bit topo Height map( 65536x 32768 Px.) reworking the SAR data to get the height data from it
    if people want i can resize it down
    some links to images OF it
    the C-1 compressed Magellan SAR DATA ( destripped )

    how is this licensed?
    http://pds.nasa.gov/citation/index.shtml

    the standard NASA license
    but i tag on CC-BY-SA

    right now i only have texture add on for Celestia published

    but a 16384x8192 or 8192x4096 Px. image can easily be put on a torrent

    Well, thanks a lot,

    I'm thinking to improve my venus map as I did for mars, so... It's a good start for doing it I guess!

    Well, I changed my mind a little bit...

    My Elzevir world is an uchronia with a different technology progression than our history line, but it's current date is 1948, and I think the NASA picture is far too detailed than possible in this context. So, I found another base from USGS based on altitude lines.

    Here are the results for the "normal" and the political maps.

    Thanks again for the support !

    Hey johnvanvliet,

    Thanks so much for your work on building the SAR radar and topo maps. I realize this thread hasn't been visited in quite a few years but I was just curious to see if you still had those maps in their largest resolution available? The reason why I ask is I'm working on an animation involving a spacecraft being sent through the Venetian atmosphere and touching down in the Alpha Regio area and could definitely use maps of decent resolution for creating the landscape. While the topo map is most appealing to me, I am definitely interested in both if it's possible to have them hosted somewhere. I believe I saw at least the topo one parceled out on the Celestia Motherlode but as much as I use maps in my own animations, I don't have a ton of experience stringing together or compiling the tiles that are being hosted on the site. I often just work with the large cylindrical maps within our 3D programs.

    If you could, lemme know if you do happen to have those large Venus maps available. Thanks!

    Brian
