Here is a constant-scale natural boundary map of Ida that folds to a decent replica of the asteroid. Map edges are Ida's major ridges.[attachment=16299:Ida_MaxRidge_post.jpg]
[EDIT] Here it is again with the photomosaic properly credited; apologies to M. Nyrtsov for my oversight. |

I built the physical models that Chuck is using to create his maps, if anyone is interested I can cut the computer model in slices that you can print on paper to create your own models.

I built the physical models that Chuck is using to create his maps, if anyone is interested I can cut the computer model in slices that you can print on paper to create your own models. It was just an idea, I don't know if it is actually feasible to glue the textured paper model over the "sliced carstock model". Anyway it could be interesting to give it a try. Are you going to manually "cut" the model in slices, or does it exist (already? ) a program to do it? BTW, I remember several years ago I used this "slice method" to build a model of Mount Etna, and the result was very very good even without textures, as the border lines stressed the shapes of hills and valleys. |
