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 -------------------- |

Actually - you could put the rover at almost any angle you wanted within a panorama - you just have to put it in the right place to match that angle (or vice versa) . As for resolution - yes, the Pancam images are low res compared to what you're doing....so you just render at a resolution to match the background.
This has been done before : http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/spe...Effects/spirit/ and http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/spe...ts/opportunity/ This is where experience really kicks in - you need to start rendering multiple passes - a shadow pass, an AO pass, a diffuse pass etc etc - then you recomp them all together in post. I can totally understand if you don't want to go to all that effort - but that doesn't mean it's not possible. |
