This is just a personal gripe of mine, but... there really is no such word as "orientate." ... Err yes there is, it is a transient verb. While other back formations from "-tion" words may sound clumsy they can become valid constructions if they find their way into common usage. Orientate is a valid word and in common usage in the UK. The beauty of the English language is its malleability and corruptibility. I work for the publisher of the Oxford English Dictionary; we are gardeners not guardians of the English language. |

You know, while I admire language's ability to grow and change, I resist the concept that "if enough people use the language wrong for long enough, it becomes acceptable." I'm tending to agree with the French on this -- yes, let the language change and grow. But enforce rules.
Or is the Oxford English Dictionary's next edition going to recognize such constructions as "R U going 2 be there l8ter?" as acceptable? -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain

I hate to break this to you, but Appendix 7 of the current edition (10th, Revised) of he OED is called: SMS (electronic text messaging) and contains (among others) the following glossary of SMS abbreviations: CUL8R... see you later R... are U... you 2... to, too Explosion centered on the suburbs of Minneapolis detected in: 5, 4, 3.... |

I have been noticing a lot of usage of 'loose' in place of 'lose' in computer messaging. There are other widely used examples I can't think of now. Don |

I've thought one possibly good illumination schemes for such renderings would be to simulate a "sun" at the camera location, but to ignore inverse square illumination dropoff as you get more distant from the source. Just determine pixel brightness by the illumination incidence angle in some simple way.

I am stunned by your software, Indian3000! It puts the MER data into whole new perspectives. (well, for me it does)
Many thanks for your programs! -------------------- |

A new ALPHA version a my module "3D site viewer".
MarsRoverCenter3DSiteViewer_ALPHA_1_base.zip ( 517.13K ) Number of downloads: 409 dont forget the data file in next post. Requis : .NET Framework 2.0. sql server 2005 express ( or full version work too ) DirectX 9.0c Installation unzip all files in one directory ( *base.zip + *data.zip ) Start Application and close it. The application will have created a standart XML config file in EXE directory. %MACHINE_NAME%_config.xml you have something like this edit it and change entry with your PDS directory on your hard drive. here a exemple Notes : you can add file only in panorama tab or 3D terrain or VST. you can mix panorama file with VST or mix 3D terrain and VST ... or all three in a same time BUT you can not mix Differentes sites, ou can load only same site files. Look my previous post about this. ---------------------------- In Panarama TAB . add only EFF and RSD left-eye product. In 3D terrain TAB . Add only XYL file ( and you need the corresponding RSL left-eye product in the same directory ) In VST TAB. add Only *vst file. For vst texture i try to find in the same directory the corresponding RSL file or in a pds local structure (config file) example : 1n136278048vil1600p1980l0m1.vst texture is 1n136278048rsl1600p1980l0m1.img ---------------------------- I develop on Vista platform, thus I am not sure this work under XP. I repeat it's a ALPHA version. ---------------------------- this software is developed on the same structure of data that PDS here a example of necessary PDS data structure on you hard disk ( you can place mer1po_xxx, mer1no_xxx, ... on sub directory just update you xml config file ) ---------------------------- Control Keys : Arrows -> Navigation Enter -> Rover Mode in Rover Mode. N : Next Frame. V : Left rotation B : Right rotation in all mode Q : FOV++ S : FOV-- Mouse Control : Left click for pan. Middle click for rotation. Wheel for zoom. ---------------------------- you can place the software on USB keys or a mobile hard drive i create one config file per machine and a load automatically the good one. ---------------------------- sorry for my English and my confused explanations, but it's late and and I am tired ... Indian. -------------------- |
