One feasible option is to post-process GRASS raster output in POV-Ray to generate a globe. Rendering paramaters can be set according to your needs (fps, Full-HD etc).<br>
<br>
There was a workshop on this at the WGUG 2011 meeting (-> <a href="http://www.wgug.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46:scientific-workshop-2011-qspatial-analysis-with-grassq&catid=2:warsztaty&Itemid=5" target="_blank">http://www.wgug.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46:scientific-workshop-2011-qspatial-analysis-with-grassq&catid=2:warsztaty&Itemid=5</a>). The proceedings remain to be published, but there might be more info on the website.<br>
<br>
Here's an example from Tsunami domain on what can be done with the GRASS/POV-Ray combo:<br>
