Best way to create an earth map?

You’ll want to use the topography image from NASA to make a normal map and bathymetry to mask out the water, and if you want you can use the city lights for the emissive. You’ll also want to use the cloud image and generate a normal map for the clouds as well. The atmosphere also creates a faint blue glow around the edge of the planet. The land is going to be very rough, so you can put the roughness around 1, but the ocean will be a bit more glossy, maybe try around .5 as a starting point.

Assuming its the images from the link above your post, then my browser can’t view them to save them. >.<
I’m also going to need to somehow “cut them up”? so countries are playable. I’ve probably not been clear the project is a geopolitical sim.

Thanks for the information you’ve provided though! ^-^
