Some time ago, I http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.php?showtopic=1716&view=findpost&p=29774 processed versions of the famous Huygens post-landing image, with improved details and simulated colors.
Now, in order to celebrate anniversary of this great landing, I made a digital terrain model and re-projected image on it:
Crossed eyes:

Parallel eyes:

Anaglyph:

I made also a rotating animation to better show the 3D model:

(I know real hue can differs from my arbitrary choice, I can easily change it)...

Those are the best views of the surface I have ever seen!

Seconded, that is one hell of a set of image products. I am very grateful you have shared them with the board.

Hear, hear. Awesome!

Most cool; especially the animated gif - but we should bear in mind these are interpretations, right? I don't think we have L/R images to get a true stereoscopic view to create a true terrain model, nor can we really see "behind" rocks of course.

But nevertheless, a real "wow!"

No, Airbag, we don't have stereoscopic infos... I based 3D model on rocks distances/dimensions infos from ESA, adding a slight terrain depression between the two rocky fields (i would like to image an ancient flood bed here ...).
I do not know if someone noticed/posted it, but one of these stereograms was just published on Planetary Society site (thanks Emily!)

Moreover, it seems that ESA had similar idea, with extended "fantasy" panorama!

Does somebody have downloadable file of that "fantasy Panorama" FLASH?
Maybe .MOV , .MPG , .AVI or whatever movie file...
BTW dilo your images are really great!!!

Interesting - there are almost no rocks to the immediate left of where the Huygens image was taken. Did the probe perhaps slide across that area,
smushing them under the slush?
