dc.description.abstract	We describe a terrain rendering algorithm for spherical terrains based on clipmaps. It leverages the high geometry throughput of current GPU to render large static triangle sets. The vertices are displaced by a height map texture. Our main contribution is mapping of texture coordinates to calculate the height map sample position based on the static vertex offset and the variable view position.	en_US
