Description
There are two big "cheats" in this picture. First, although the lunar surface was done entirely in Terragen, the Earth was rendered in Bryce. Second, since there are no good (detailed) bump maps of the Moon available, I used a section of Mars. A mostly gray surface map was used to simulate the Moon.

The moon surface is really great! Bravo! Where comes the TER from please? I think the Earth is too much "clean"... more clouds and slightly tilted to improve the "spatial" illusion. But a great job, I really love your moon!

The "Moon" terrain comes from ftp://ltpftp.gsfc.nasa.gov/projects/tharsis/MOLA/GRIDS/. You will need 3Dem to convert the IMG files to Terragen format. (And beware, they are huge.)

The Earth could use a little more atmosphere? The moon is awsome though. Cheater...ever wonder why there isn't more detailed maps of the closets cellestial body?
