# OWM Earth Textures

Full-globe equirectangular Earth imagery for the renderer in
[`sisl/outofthisworldmodel-envs`](https://github.com/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.
