Earth's rivers

Post #1by Cham » 20.08.2009, 18:34

Hmmm, I'm not sure I'll publish this ! The ASCII CMOD file is 27.1 MB in size, and this is just about the rivers of America !

DATA comes from this place :
http://rimmer.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/coast/getcoast.html

I've also made a model for each data set available there, but most of them are not very interesting in Celstia (files way too large...)

Martin, how many Mb in binary? This is a great add-on, IMHO.
Never at rest.

Nice Martin,

... but wouldn't a bluish, rather than a greenish color be better for rivers? :wink:

I get the impression that blue wouldn't stand out as well. I think he did a great job :)
