Just thinking again about this...sort of.
I need an earth zoom for a hopefully upcoming project and the issue is the size of the Earth map.
I guess @supergnu, that you got yours from the same company as you are doing this for?
If not, and you didn't find them already, I managed to hunt down a repository for the enormous maps from
2004 http://www.opengutenberg.net/nasa/bmng/world_500m/
They may still be at the NASA site but this is a simple list, so still worth bookmarking.
It contains tiles for 12 months of seasonal change, so very useful for anyone else that could use them.
Final image is 86k wide/1.3gb, which was impossible to use when I first found these almost 20 years ago, or whenever they first
were published...now, no problem

Moon image looks great
can you fill VRayVolumeGrid with VRayDistanceTex on cpu? I think this setup could be faster on cpu (fraction of grid size).

I thought this was an inspired presentation and worth watching the entirety of, although the planetary stuff is mostly at the end.
I also thought, if a Blender addon can do this then surely Vray is capable of doing so, so someone please tell me it's being worked on right now

ok well that is depressing! ive bashed my head against a wall for many many hours on my earth model... most things i try absolutely kill rendertimes and nothing looks "right" in all scenarios..
now i see blender can do it in realtime with intuitive controls and all the subtleties ive been failing to create.
come on chaosgroup! some more shaders pls, or a tutorial as to how to achieve what they are doing there from one of your experts..? ... its not like autodesk are gonna do it (ha!)
