Images Notes  : "High Ground" is actually just a test render of my latest Earth
                Mesh (the 3rd since starting the Apollo Themes). Although just
                a test, the result was so amazing I had to give it a name and
                put it on the page! I hope you like it enough that you will
                forgive the delay in the Apollo - LMP theme countdown! (I hope
                to have it in another week or two).

Journal       : The earth surface texture map is a complex composite of
                bumpmaps, reflectivity, self-illumination (for cities at
                night), and diffusion maps. The clouds represent the actual
                global cloud cover (near infrared) from July 7, 1998 as imaged
                by the GOES weather imaging satellites, and converted into bump
                and opacity maps. All told, the uncompressed texture maps used
                on this model weigh in at over 200 Megs. It is a shame it is
                only going to be 2-3 inches across in the final theme
                background... (Some people say I am a perfectionist, but their
                reasoning is obviously flawed)
