[Paraview] Modeling a earth sphere

[Pat Marion]

You may find it useful to checkout this link:

http://www.earthmodels.org/data-and-tools/topography/paraview-topography-by-texture-mapping

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:
