Hi everyone.
Its been a while (because of college) since I said I would make a tutorial, but here is is!
http://frontiernet.net/%7Ewhitfield/vm/hosted/blendering_earth.pdf
(Note: This is a PDF document)
This is my first ever tutorial so I am sure I might have missed some things. If you are interested, I think there is a .blend file and some other stuff on the original thread for this:
http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=76226
(original thread)
http://frontiernet.net/~whitfield/earth_no_textures.zip
(the .blend file for your convenience)
Thats it. I hope you all find this useful.
