There, you can download a unit sphere with texture coordinates: http://www.earthmodels.org/data-and-tools/topography/unitsphere_5deg_open_surfacenormals.vtp That page has some textures for download, here is another one: http://vtk.org/gitweb?p=VES.git;a=blob_plain;f=Apps/iOS/Kiwi/Kiwi/Data/earth.jpg Pat On Thu, Mar 29, 2012 at 4:09 PM, Ju <juwa...@gmail.com> wrote: > Good afternoon, > I am new to working with paraview and heard about the group mailing > list, so I hope I stumbled into the right place.
