Well I made several sizes of an Earth texture. If you would do a search through the forum you would find the link for the download. But since you are in shuch desperate need I will post the adress to my 4k Earth texture pack.

and this for the clouds

I hope this is what you are looking for. There are muliple vertions of the texture. I always plug the specmap into the main texture so you can either use it that way or by pluging it into the .ssc file.
Good luck.
Don.

I have only made one dds bumpmap for earth and I didn't quite like the way it turned out. The instruction for making one are here in the forum so I sugest you search them up and give a try at making your own. I only give freebe help once per forum thread.

As for the other bumpmaps. As I said the ones for Earth Mars and other planets in our system are generated from elevation data not from the texture itself. As I stated you can make your own for other planets by either making a grayscale image of your texture or by opening it up in a image editor like photoshop or GIMP and useing the decompose funtion and breaking th image down into its R G B values. Then you can save each color value as a seperate image and try each one to see which one works best for you. But to get a real bumpmap you have to have the elevation data and have a way to generate it into a visible image. I and I don't think anyone in the forum can help you with that one.
