I love ZSurf. Used it quite a lot. Here are two examples:

Nice work Sebastian, Like most MoI users here, your work is at a level I can only bream of reaching :)

here is what I done so far with Moi + ZSurf.

Made an Antarctica from NASA map.
Outline is mostly ice...
Probably too many control points.
Planar and extrude work, but are very slow.
Not to scale...

a 3d pdf for the kids to learn from???

"Hey, where's antarctica???"



Very good johnny... :)

My two cents, from a cartographic point of view:
To create a correct globe in Moi, use a world-map that is "Unprojected" or is in the "Geographic projection". This is a world map with a 2:1 width/height ratio that will produce a correct globe.
