 and replace them with your own N1 texture. Then open earth.xml and point to your just edited 3d model via <path>earth_unitscale_rawuv.ac</path>. Do the same for cloudsphere.xml (it's entirely possible to do all this in a 3d modeling application like blender, but chances are it will get rather slow and unwieldy for such huge texture sheets).
-Assigning textures as they are to the rawuv sphere creates visible seams where the texture sheets end. The solution is to add margins (like done for the texture set provided). If you edit your textures to add such margins, you don't need to use <b>earth_unitscale_rawuv.ac</b> and can assign your textures to <b>earth_unitscale_hires.ac</b>

 For comparison, a 16384x16384 texture sheet in pre-compressed and mip-mapped dds format should come to 172 MB. Unless you have a substantial amount of memory, consider using less than full resolution.
