|1= I reasoned that if 'texture the sphere' doesn't mean anything to a user, he probably can't do it anyway. Besides, at 16384 x 16384 texture resolution, you may run into memory and architecture limits of your machine, so there's really no one sie fits all path at the upper end - I ended up using dds textures to reduce loading time. | |||
The models in question are Models/Astro/earth_unitscale_hires.ac, earth_unitscale_rawuv.ac and clouds_unitscale_hires.ac. The unitscale_hires are smart uv-mapped and need textures with a characteristic border to avoid seams, the rawuv has a simple mapping to which you can apply texture sheets as is. | |||
Open with the model editor of your choice, map with the textures of your choice, done. | |||
