Late last week I stumbled upon a few HiRISE derived DEM's (Randy Kirk works his magic once again!)
http://webgis.wr.usgs.gov/ftphirise/index.jsp (URL now down) I'm working on both Vic Crater and the Columbia Hills. Fortunately, now I've got a Mac, I can use ISIS. I've figured out a fairly simple flow ( isis2raw as 16 bit unsigned, and then imported into Photoshop ) to take DEM CUB's and make 16 bit PNG's Just to demo how important that is for me as an animator - sliced comparisons of 8bit vs 16 bit. A busy week unfortunately, but animations of various sorts are in the pipeline. |

Just to demo how important that is for me as an animator - sliced comparisons of 8bit vs 16 bit. In general, I find 8 bit DEMs almost useless. They can sometimes be used by converting them to 16 bits and smoothing them - I almost never use them without fairly extensive processing. |

Still figuring out the best way to explore and display these dems - especially the Colubia Hills.
Meanwhile - a revisit of an idea I had some years ago using a MOC dem. This is the 'power goodness' display - lit from the north in green, the south in red. A wider angle, and a close angle. |

And using the Victoria one to simulate shadowing with the sun high in the sky, and as low in the sky as it gets ( 63ish degrees )

I've had a hard time trying to do justice to these data sets, the Columbia Hills and the Victoria Crater HiRISE Dem's.
Here's my effort for the Columbia Hills http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/doug_im...bia_dem_480.mov (4.8 meg) Victoria Crater (with added 'rover') tomorrow |

Agree, very very cool!
All that's needed to make us happy is to tack onto the end of the movie a little video of Oppy SAFELY driving out of VC!! -------------------- Jonathan Ward

Well done! About time your work on these DEMs was recognised properly.

Bra-VO!!! Superbly rendered...and appropriately recognized at last!!!

Just for fun, I actually have a better version on the burner right now Clouds, sun, haze etc. Results over the next few days.
