I finnally got the normal and spec maps to draw on a homemade cmod file. The problem I was having was that I didn't generate tangents. Learned something new. Some screenshots on a low res, high res hybrid model. This is John van Vliet's surface texture and normalmap on the low res model that is most of the planet. The olympus mons model is using a section of John's Mars texture that I cropped out of his 8k version. The normalmap on olympus mons was created with megt44n180hb.img and nm16.

- Models can be shadowed by spherical bodies. Eclipse shadows appear on irregular bodies just as they do on spherical bodies. Satellites in low earth orbit will slip in and out of shadow as the orbit over the night side of Earth. Irregular objects will still not cast shadows themselves, however; that's work for the future.--Chris
