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

Thanks Fernando. The wide field view of Curi's journey is a sight to behold!

So my plan is to image the entire mission zone along with the route so far & notional route, in as big an image as Gigapan will host, I'm not sure what their upper limit is. I think Photoshop will only go to 65k pixels square.

The trick will be to get a good angle without making the quilt-work of DTM's too obvious against the lores mesh of Gale Crater.
