This is a polar projectiong


and after Phil's excellent guidence, I've figured out how to do those. They're great for a sense of 'place' and cross referencing horizon features with maps or orbital imagery.

However - if you want to generate your own map like material, you need more of a vertical projection thus...


Now - I have no idea how to do that Part of me thinks it could be fuged by stretching away at a polar projection, but is there a more obvious way using the 'ordinary' tools?

I believe the Performer Binary files ( FFL designation, .pfb extension and can be found on the PDS Imaging node) might be readable in other software. I'm just not familar enough with the standards to do anything with it personally.

Also, it looks as if the PFB files correspond to the entire site, not just a single stereo pair. If this is the case, I'm not sure if they include their own textures (or does each PFB correspond to a mosaic?). The ViSTa files represent just one stereo pair, so it wouldn't be too hard to drape a single color image over its corresponding mesh.
