10 years. 10 YEARS. TEN YEARS!!!!
A decade of exploration to celebrate with the Mars Exploration Rovers. Ten years ago an incredible little adventurer with indomitable 'spirit' landed in Gusev Crater. After an incredible journey across rugged plains, climbing mountains and discovering evidence of volcanic activity and sulphate soils, we lost our little girl just a few years ago. But her sister drives on, continuing the adventure. Thank you Spirit. We will always remember you. It's been an amazing 10 years. A wonderful 10 years. Thank you as always to those who cared for her and to those who continue to push forward across the dusty face of Mars. |

Many thanks for that link Sittingduck... I did read an article a while back about the process and was suitably wowed... now after reading the paper I'm even more impressed. I'm wondering if there is a portal through which I can access their output? Once they get GPU's involved they will be flying through the data!
I hadn't considered exaggerating the terrain, it would be trivial to do however, so I will include that in the next batch. There are a number of considerations when building these assets for Sketchfab...mesh fidelity, polycount, texture size etc so I will probably revisit something like Home Plate for a more localized attempt when I have refined the process somewhat. Thanks for your interest and suggestions. -------------------- |
