Indian3000: If it wouldn't be too much trouble , could you say more about controls in the DEM viewer, and how to use other DEMs, textures, etc, if that can be done. Are there controls in the DEM viewer other than the left and right mouse controls? Can other CUB files and textures be used, or is that something you have planned for a future release?

CosmicRocker: You do'nt bother me

DEM viewer controls are only
mouse right and left click ,
wheel mouse,
Arrow key,
F4 Wireframe/ solid draw
and H key to hide/show crosshair


the majority of the parameters are hardcoded in my program.
To make a simple interface which charges the various parameters will not be easy.
Nothing is automatic and the various parameters to match the textures to the model are computed by hand.
I could make a thiny interface to enter the various parameters but I must then make a little tutorial.

Ahh! Thank you. In retrospect I suppose I should have been able to figure most of those out, but knowing those controls helps me agreat deal. I should have at least tried the mouse wheel! I now have learned that the figure rotates around the + point, and that by panning the image below it in plan view before changing the perspective, I can more easily manipulate the view to achieve almost the results I want. I couldn't make it display the exact view of the inner basin from the top of Husband Hill, but the attached image is an approximation of it.

I see that it would be difficult to program an interface for other models and textures, but this is very nice as it is. I have also used your ant-vignetting module and I wanted to mention that I love it. The ability to batch process images and save with automatic renaming is very convenient.

Polar Projection Preview

I still need to add some parameters, and corrects some bugs before making a release.

That looks interesting.

...kind of like Phil, in a box...

I will be in a box if this goes on...

Very nice stuff, Indian3000. Your contributions are really useful and greatly appreciated, I'm sure.

just load source image and press Make projection, you can play with differents parameters ...

Well, I just had to try this out. It's great. Here is a pan from sol 829 reprojected four times using each of the four geometric options, to show the difference.




(PS I did nothing to the original pan, but for better results I should have added some space at the bottom, creating a blank area in the middle)

The way I usually make my polars stretches out the distant detail a bit more than this. But this is very nice indeed. Thanks, Indian3000. Now I'm going to have to try out your other stuff!

Oh, OK... do I get a golden handshake?

hi phil,

I think that incrementing the option "Start theta angle" you will arrive at the good result…
if I understood well ,

It needs a space adding along the bottom equal to the width of the deck

use option "Start theta angle"

perhaps that this can explain part of the options

Great job!

I've download it and the way of using is very intuitive.

Thanks!

Here is a try with my own MacMurdo pan :
