OWM Earth Textures

Full-globe equirectangular Earth imagery for the renderer in sisl/outofthisworldmodel-envs.

• maps/ -- the finished maps the renderer reads. earth_color_full.jpg and earth_clouds_full.jpg are 16384x8192 (~2.4 km/texel at the equator); earth_bump_full.png is 8192x4096 and stays PNG because the normal map is computed from height gradients, which JPEG block artifacts corrupt.
• sources/ -- the high-resolution imagery the maps are downsampled from.

The renderer fetches maps/ automatically. sources/ is needed only to regenerate the maps at a different width.
