* Some sort of fix or workaround for the stretched-textures-on-cliff faces problem that draped textures suffer from in mountainous regions - possibly the ability to cut in textured polygons on steep faces. | * Some sort of fix or workaround for the stretched-textures-on-cliff faces problem that draped textures suffer from in mountainous regions - possibly the ability to cut in textured polygons on steep faces. | ||
=== Data sources === | |||
Here is a list of possible data sources for better scenery. | |||
==== Elevation data ==== | |||
* [http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/ SRTM Data] - 30m resolution for North America, 90m for most other world. Data goes up to about 60 degrees north and 56 degrees south. This should be public domain so can be used directly. | |||
* [http://www.ersdac.or.jp/GDEM/E/index.html ASTER GDEM] Aster data, 30m resolution for the whole world, from 83 degrees north to 83 degrees south. License is limited, might be able to get the data and use, but redistribute with non-GPL license. | |||
* [http://www.viewfinderpanoramas.org/dem3.html Mountain data] Personal work of Jonathan for filling&fixing SRTM data for mountain areas. Mostly 90m resolution, but some areas are 30m. Also has some data for north eurasia not available in SRTM. Data should be free to use, but not sure about the GPL compatibility. | |||
==== Shapefile data ==== | |||
Some sources for shapefiles, some of these are already available, the ones with links might not be yet. | |||
* GSHHS | |||
* VMAP0 & 1 | |||
* OSM | |||
* TIGER | |||
* [http://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/COR0-landcover Corine] landcover use data for Europe, the ones I have seen are 25m resolution. License is free, but might not be GPL compatible. | |||
==== Photo data === | |||
To be defined, we might soon get a photo scenery support, so this section is reserved for acquiring free high resolution images for it. | |||
