hello.. i am trying to model in 3d the mars rover and can't find the correct material, so I was wondering whether anyone in here has access to more information than I do and cares to help.
I am looking for detailed pictures of rover parts from all sides (top, left, right and bottom). I am attaching a few pics for the members to see the progress of my work. Trying to be as accurate as possible. Process is really slow since I have to make stuff out of bad reference pics I've tried collecting material from the nasa site, from raw images coming from the rover, from roobtics' sites etc, but couldn't come up with the correct reference i am seeking. if anyone cares to help, please do so ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() -------------------- |

You've gotten us all excited with this project which we have seen developing since your first post about it in September 2006
![]() In that post you actually showed us an image of the wheel tread and back then it had those curved sections and none of us said anything. So, don't go changing it now. It's your rover and as we've already seen it has your personal touches (eg: your name on the ribbon cable) As your renders keep coming, I just think how great it is that we can see a nice new bright and shiny rover again ![]() |

Scooter,
Here is a post from July 10, 2010 about the MER Wheels (and a picture from the manufacturer) http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...st&p=162219 Maybe you can get the CAD file from them? -------------------- CLA CLL

PDP8E.... thanks for the reference photo (had it already though
![]() ...because as Astro0 suggested, no-one compained about it back in 2006 (nor provided me with as much useful reference as I could get) and I am finalizing stuff, so.... mean you know I don't get paid for doing this right? ![]() ..that's why I was happy while I was reading Astro0's last post, I was also rendering this at the background... ![]() ...WOW! Look at that, no more bent lines! I hope James is pleased... along with pospa, I made a thin coating layer on top of the foamy stuff, so that it's mostly visible when seen from big angles.. edit: sorry, messed up with the image code -------------------- |
