I'm just trying to create a high resolution Earth texture, using the December image available here as source.
A level 8 texture of the 2km/pixel version was easy.
But as I'd like to create higher resolutions I have to use the 500m/pixel version.
It is 86400 x 43200 pixels in size, splitted into eight 21600 x 21600 png files.
My first question is: What is the maximum texture level that can be archieved with that files?
And now the big problem: My 4 GB of RAM can't handle the 21600 x 21600 files.
Is there any way to split them into smaller parts, WITHOUT having to load them into the RAM?
