Lovely, DJ.
When the Virtual Reality Gusev finally appears on JPL's site, is this how you think it should look? I don't understand what you mean by "new data". Are we still getting data from Larry's Lookout? -------------------- My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!

QUOTE (Astro0 @ Feb 5 2006, 08:50 PM) Doug - fantastic image. So good that it deserves a composite with Spirit. Hope you like it. Enjoy Astro0 Sweeeeett! You may be a 'dish jockey' in your day job, Astro0, but there's an artist in there, fighting to get out. Love the salmon tinge. If you could just turn these into movies , we wouldn't need IMAX or Disney! -------------------- My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!

Enjoy Astro0 File size: 488k FWIW, I played with the colour - totally subjective, but it's how I think of the place!

Wow stunning images! Hardly still more to advance!
Regarding the color, I would prefer anything between the reddish and brownish one -------------------- |

Trying to sway the colours toward a 'this is what I think it's like' ballpark is a dangerous game - it assumes that mars is the same every day - and boy oh BOY if you look at the calibrated stuff, it isnt - sometimes it looked redder, sometimes greyer, sometimes browner, sometimes even a bit bluer
I'll admit it - that image I posted isnt where I'd leave it, but it's not that far off to be honest - it was a fairly dingy period around then. Doug |

Sure we will. Humans will walk there some day, along side our robotic, roving heroes. Personally I liked Doug's original colours. I think that it is probably closer to what the human eye would 'see'. I blended Spirit in with the same colouring, that salmon-coloured sky would certainly create some interesting variations in what you would 'see'. I think that everyone's concepts are right, but as Doug said, if you look at the calibrated Pancam images the colour from day-to-day varies wildly. The bottom line is that we are all having fun during this amazing adventure. Astro0 |
