Here is a constant-scale natural boundary map of Ida that folds to a decent replica of the asteroid. Map edges are Ida's major ridges.[attachment=16299:Ida_MaxRidge_post.jpg]
[EDIT] Here it is again with the photomosaic properly credited; apologies to M. Nyrtsov for my oversight. |

I just discovered that Google Sketchup can easily create sections of any 3d model and that it can import .3ds files.
Are .3ds files of any asteroid available around? Here it is an asteroid in sketchup format for your tests: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/dow...s=1225385251000 Look for menu item "tools/sections" (I guess: I have italian version of Sketchup...) Once selected the section plane, select MOVE and then move the plane around. |
