Does anybody have a big DEM of Earth ??? I use to have one wich was 40000x2000 but I lost it !!!

This one's not a DEM, but is quite interesting: http://gw.marketingden.com/planets/earth.html Colour, bump (possibly can be used as a DEM, and it has various resolutions), specular of the surface, plus a hi-res map of the clouds. The guy also has maps of other planets. JPL and CalTech have something, too: http://lagesi.caltech.edu/ go to data. No direct link, because the site is framed. Finally, NASA has lots of stuff: http://earthsciencesportal.gsfc.nasa.gov/ Sorry I couldn't be of specific help.

Whilst on the subject of DEMs - does anyone know where to find them of countries other than the US? I'm particularly interested in Ireland, but can't find anything!

The link I posted separately, Terrain Maps, has a link to "International DEMs". Didn't check it, though.

http://visibleearth.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/viewrecord?11656 Nice earth textures. Maybe also some bumpmaps/hightmaps.

While its easy enough to use some kewl pictures of the earth and map them to a sphere, and add the night lights from Boeing, and add another cloud sphere, and add an atmosphere sphere, yada yada,... I just noticed that if you use the earth map and light map and select random you get something like this.
