This isn't really directly of any use to the animation I'm working on at the moment, I just wanted to see how easy it was to make the planet earth. Forget 6 days it just took about half an hour. I just searched the web for Planet Earth Texture Maps. There are some good tutorials that tell you how to layer up the sea, and give a bump map to the ground and create a layer of clouds and atmosphere. But the reality is that the globe map needed in my animation wont need so much detail. So reality goes out of the window.
I was surprised how little needs to be done to achieve this though, just import a material and drop it on a sphere...
