I googled a map of Venus, both a normal and topographic.

I love the idea of a terraformed Venus! I always picture it as a jungle planet or a desertified Earth-like world with a similar landscape to the Serengheti. The idea of using Triton as a moon is interesting, I would've thought moving Mercury there instead would be more fitting but either way it's cool.

Well, I did some rough visual calculations. I took the relative size of the earth and the moon relative to each other. Then I found out the size of both Mars and Venus and looked for moons in our solar system that would make the same tides as the Moon would make for Earth. (hopefully that made sense)

True. There's also distance to take into effect as well. For example, in the sci-fi I'm working on Mercury was brought into Venus' orbit to be it's moon, however it orbits 3 times further away from the planet than the moon from Earth so that it's gravity does not cause tidal waves all the time.

ooOoo! You write sci fi as well??? I've an entire universe history written down on my PalmPilot which I'm trying to transfer to a document.
And I agree on the distance, that's why I roughly judged the size in Photoshop

I do the background of astral fantasy with epsiloneagle but I may use the same stuff with something I like to call galaxy wars!

It's called Astral Fantasy, you can see some of the stuff like planet renders and alien designs in my gallery. It's going to be an RPG series and possibly a series of stories which spans a very vast timeline you can read here [link]
Overall, it will consist of 4, maybe 5 games, sort of like how Star Wars had 6 parts. And it ranges in time span from the year 8008 AD to 22101 AD and from one end of the galaxy to the other, including numerous terraformed worlds in our solar system, worlds orbiting supergiant stars, ect. It's very out of this world (sorry, pun intended).

Great one! To bad that we can't see climate variations... But I like it anyway!

Thanks! Im not exactly sure how to do climate variations in photoshop. If only there was a program that would let me do that...
Oh! And thanks for the

Maybe using a cloud render on an overlay over your continent and using it with and overlay render and some other variation... just an idea
