=== How to create textures suitable for Biosphere3D ===

1) Install FWTools, available at http://fwtools.maptools.org/

2) Reproject to long/lat wgs84 using "wgs84.cmd". If your source files have no valid projection, use "dhdn4_wgs84.cmd" for the Deutsches Hauptdreiecksnetz 4, or use similar command line parameters.

Example:

"wgs84 color.tif"
-> color.tif.wgs84.tif

"wgs84 terrain.tif"
-> terrain.tif.wgs84.tif

3) Process the texture using "converter.exe", which adds an alpha channel based on your no-data-values and rescales terrains.

Example:

"converter color.tif.wgs84.tif"
-> color.tif.wgs84.tif.tif

"converter terrain.tif.wgs84.tif"
-> terrain.tif.wgs84.tif_9.74966_34.7495_.tif

4) Compress the texture using "compress_terrain.cmd" or "compress_color.cmd"

Example:

"compress_color color.tif.wgs84.tif.tif"
-> color.tif.wgs84.tif.tif.ecw

"compress_terrain terrain.tif.wgs84.tif_9.74966_34.7495_.tif"
-> terrain.tif.wgs84.tif_9.74966_34.7495_.tif.jp2
