Venus 150x in 2 Million Facets

This Venus Globe has all clouds removed to show an exaggerated version of Venus' landscapes. The elevations from NASA Magellan and Pioneer spececraft have some missing data, so I took the data from the Soviet Union's Venera spacecraft and filled the globe completely. The Venera data has 1 degree grid and the Magellan data is using a 1/4 degree grid. The 150 factor for exaggerated elevations makes the peaks, like Maat Mons and Skadi Mons look very tall. If those names are unfamiliar to you, just google it to see 2D pictures. Or use this 3D sculpture to educate yourself.
The pictures include the 150x and a 7x globe for comparison. On the 7x exaggeration picture, see the diagonal textured lines? They are real landforms called Textured Terrain. That is not an error.

The radar reflectivity rho' is computed from the sum of two
factors, rho derived from the strength of altimetry echoes, and
rhocor, a correction due to diffuse scattering that is derived from
the SAR backscatter cross-section. These parameters were taken from
the ar_rho and ar_rhocor fields of altimetry data files in the
ARCDR product. To compensate for the latitudinal error, all rho
values were multiplied by an 8th order latitude-dependent polynomial

  rho' = rho*(p0+x*(p1+x*(p2+x*(p3+...))))/p0 + rhocor                    where x = (lat-lat0)/90, lat0 = periapsis latitude (~10N), and                 p0 =  0.110826    p1 = -0.0135412    p2 = -0.241179                       p3 = -0.0103096   p4 =  1.55816      p5 = -0.130031                       p6 = -2.08811     p7 =  0.242347     p8 =  0.962462                  The polynomial coefficients p0 through p8 have been adjusted to           retain the same average rho at all latitudes, ignoring areas known        to possess anomalous reflectivity (Maxwell Montes, Beta Regio, and        Aphrodite Terra).
