This is my first post.
 FYI. Over the last couple of weeks there have been 2 new Blender add-ons to import DTMs/DEMs. The first, written by Tim Spriggs from HiRise, imports HiRise DTMs into Blender. The add-on is now part of the Blender 2.56a Beta release and is available at: Download Page The Blender Wiki page for the add-on. I am a beginner with Blender but here are 2 of my attempts with the add-on. I am using an XP Pro box with 2GB of ram. I am still working on the colors and lighting. Zumba Crater Victoria Crater The second add-on, written by Valter Battioli, imports LRO Lola and MGS Mola data. This add-on is still in development. BlemderArtist.org thread. The Blender Wiki page for the add-on. I just started playing with this one. Dave -------------------- --

Hmm - can you export a mesh derived from HiRISE DTMs?

It would depend on the format.
What format do you need? I have not tried to export anything. No place else to go. Dave -------------------- --

crashing solved
the blender linux 64 bit binary is unstable on suse 11.3 i had to build the svn source ALSO if there is a vicar header on the img file there might be a crash the ldem4,16,64,256, do NOT have a header in the img . Only the detached lbl . so if anyone exports isis cub's to img REMOVE the pds header in the img |
