Away from some announcements there doesn't seem to be more than an 8k earth normal map on the web - or do I miss something?

I have a 32k Virtual Earth Normal map on my Ftp site here
ftp://81.108.220.185
I made it from the Globe data ,it is slow downloading but you can resume another time if you like,Jestr

I need a small 2k or 4k normal map in dds (not jpg). This is to use with my default texture (2048 x 1024), and my video card doesn't support bump map or normal map above 1k, in jpeg or png format.

Anyone able to make a good (non-blocky) 2k normal map in dds, please ?

I've made a much better 32k Normal texture out of GTOPO data although I might have exaggerated the shadows a little,you can only get it from my FTP site above though I'm afraid,Jestr

Exaggerated shadows is exactly what I need.
I will take a look next week.

Thanx jestr.

I've found a 4k and 2k versions. Download them here.
That's a temporary link, so let me know we you'll have downloaded it.

Link removed. Ptarmigan has been faster than me.

O please, I didn't had time to download your file.

Can you put it again ? Please ?

Sure, here you are, just click the link mentioned above. I removed the link thinking Ptarmigan helped you... Anyway, let me know when you'll have downloaded it.

I'm downloading it right now.

Thanks.

I tried both files, 2k and 4k.

The 4k version doesn't work, I dunno why. I get a flat texture only.

The 2k version works, but it isn't accurate. There's a "border" around all continents, which isn't right. And it becomes very blocky at a close range.

Can you make a BumpMap version in dds (not NormalMap) ? I can send you a 2k BumpMap version in jpg (I don't have the tools to make a conversion myself).

Link removed again, and follow to pm.

jestr,

has your IP changed, or do you have about online times?

Try again now,My FTP prog keeps shutting itself down for some reason,but its not on my computer,when I notice I start it again.its strange it will work for days on end with no problems ,other days it keeps turning itself off after a few hours,other than this it should be on around the clock,Jestr

Ok, I'm on now.

If you still have your sources, wouldn't you mind to make a .png version?

maxim

Ive put the PNG version on my FTP site its a lot bigger though and not really noticeably better apart from at dawn and dusk,try it and see,Jestr

Ugh, thats why it throw me out!

I need the normals for a technical texure that has pure monochromatic areas and sharp edges. So I`m afraid that every small jpeg artifact could be noticable.

I`ll try again now.
