Earth in Auguest 3D model

All files are housed within the same directory, ensuring no loss of textures. To open, double-click the .mb file or opt for import in the Maya window's file menu; avoid dragging .mb files directly onto the interface. Included files consist of .MB files, all textures, and a word document. The compression pack size is larger due to the extensive texture sizes. Earth surface colors differ per month and under varying sunlight angles, while other textures remain consistent (white clouds). Before diving in, ensure you read the attached word instructions first! Software requirements include Maya 2015sp6 and MentalRay for Maya 2015sp6. Alternatively, higher versions may be used. Although Maya's own software render is an option, it's slow with a subpar effect. The UV at the North and South poles has been optimized, avoiding texture distortion. Resolutions for textures are as follows: Base Color (43200 * 21600), Bump (43200 * 21600), Specular (43200 * 21600), NightLight (43200 * 21600), and Clouds (43200 * 21600). Despite high resolutions, post-opening performance remains smooth with no crashes or reduced texture quality. One-key adjustments control material properties of the earth, including surface color, bump strength, sea/lake/river specular, white cloud transparency and thickness, blue sky color, and speed of day and night switching. Instructions for these adjustments are provided in the attached word file. Navigation is facilitated by hiding the map display while mainland contour curves serve as location aids. The model, created in personal time, is not associated with any company or individual. It can be used for animation, movie, and game purposes. However, reselling, transferring, or sharing the model without authorization is prohibited. Creating an ultra-high resolution, multi-functional earth model was challenging due to numerous technical hurdles. Navigation and rendering were particularly demanding but have now been achieved successfully, providing users with a valuable resource.
