  Looking for a way to add city lights to a map as i zoom to the earth from space. Other than one at a time. Any ideas?

  Maltaanon has a tutorial where he does this. In fact he adds clouds and displacement for earth’s uneven texture. You can find the night shot of the entire earth flattened (and day shots too) on NASA’s website.

  Here’s the tut.
