last Friday Phil Plait over on " Bad Astronomy "
posted a cool image http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2...dune_field.html it took the weekend to process all 18 HiRISE red ccd images into one mapped image ( 1.3 gig ) then run a SFS on it , well a crop but still 8192x8192 image reduced size ( 2048x2048 mesh ) test renders in Blender |

Here is a still from a forthcoming animated tour of Hale Crater Hills.
Added some atmospheric scattering. -------------------- |

Great to see this realistic atmospheric effect!

Thanks Steve... I figured out a way to automate/bake it into the workflow so it should help a lot with future images. More work to be done on the skybox.

To re-iterate, these are simply spectacular Sean - almost Ansel-Adamesque. Thanks for sharing them.

Thank you, quite addictive making them! The data is amazing...these renders are optimized to run on my machine so there is room to squeeze a little more detail out. There are lots of 'improvements' on the way...sky, colour and hopefully some kind of contextual compositional solution, if I can get my head around the myriad sources!

There are lots of 'improvements' on the way...sky, colour and hopefully some kind of contextual compositional solution, if I can get my head around the myriad sources! I understand the addiction. Years back when I was knee deep in the Microsoft Flight Simulator I found that users could add photorealistic scenery to areas and found DEM files from NASA and aerial photography shots from my county and combined them together to make the Phoenix area I was always flying over more realistic. The results were stunning. Suddenly the mountains and riverbeds looked exactly like reality and I began creating 3d buildings and objects, taking photos of their exteriors and wrapping them over the vertices. I spent months adding more and more. It eventually ended up a side business as people convinced me others would buy my work. It never was about the profit though. Was about the creativity it unleashed. A major addiction when it all comes together. Your work is wonderful. |

Thanks for the story Art and given that your compliment means a lot!
I suppose it has something to do with making these inaccessible places tangible in some way, there is a visceral thrill when the elevation data & satellite imagery come together. Suddenly it is a place. Here is a best quality available video of RGB pass from the Mounds in Ganges Chasma... -------------------- |

Now able to render at full available texture resolution!
A small breakthrough which might only result in a tiny perceptible qualitative improvement given compromises on elevation data... ...shots closer to models would hold up better though. -------------------- |

Culled this animation from a 9 DTM strong swathe of Mt Sharp... too wieldy to be productive yet so the following uses only 1 DTM
click thru to see the video... http://www.uahirise.org/dtm/dtm.php?ID=PSP_009149_1750 -------------------- |
