    Below are some Celestia screengrabs using the maps by NeonKnight and Redrobes which were posted by Airith in the World Pictures thread, with a long/lat grid overlay.

    I didn't edit the texture images, so they have different offsets in longitude because Celestia assumes that 0 degrees of longitude is in the center of a texture. I don't know if anyone has decided on a prime meridian for the world.

    A bumpmap would produce results similar to the relief map, but its shading would depend on the planet's rotation.

    @NeonKnight,

    Is it possible to persuade Fractal Terrain to produce images with darker water? That would look somewhat more realistic in Celestia, I think.

    In order: zoom, temperature, relief & rainfall by NeonKnight; world_color1 by Redrobes.
