This is my first post.
![]() FYI. Over the last couple of weeks there have been 2 new Blender add-ons to import DTMs/DEMs. The first, written by Tim Spriggs from HiRise, imports HiRise DTMs into Blender. The add-on is now part of the Blender 2.56a Beta release and is available at: Download Page The Blender Wiki page for the add-on. I am a beginner with Blender but here are 2 of my attempts with the add-on. I am using an XP Pro box with 2GB of ram. I am still working on the colors and lighting. Zumba Crater Victoria Crater The second add-on, written by Valter Battioli, imports LRO Lola and MGS Mola data. This add-on is still in development. BlemderArtist.org thread. The Blender Wiki page for the add-on. I just started playing with this one. Dave -------------------- --

Hi Sorry if this is a little late to the discussion,
I find Blender 2.79 with the HiRISE addon is perfect for the Lroc and HiRISE DTM's and easily exports to a wavefront object etc, which I then import into 3DS Max to overlay the orthographic data and render from there. I have / had no 3d modelling background or digital image qualifications, so to start I found the process to be quite confusing to begin. Here's a couple of the HiRISE & Lroc images I have created using Blender and 3ds max... https://www.flickr.com/photos/terraform-mars/48955510891 - Jackson Crater (Lunar) https://www.flickr.com/photos/terraform-mars/50804791742 - Eimmart Crater (Lunar) https://www.flickr.com/photos/terraform-mars/50944898458 - HiRISE / MRO DTM : PSP_003910_1685 (RGB) "Labyrinthus Noctis Pit" https://www.flickr.com/photos/terraform-mars/50935333713 - HiRISE DTM : ESP_063956_2315 "Dune Monitoring in Crater" |
