Awhile back I visited a site with large jpgs of DEMs, all ready to download and use....does anyone know this site url?

Interesting site, however any image files are considered 'premium downloads' and cost, only the dem data is free. Thanks anyway, not the site I was looking for...:(

Zhann: I have about 500 landscape DEMS from Vistapro. Anything in particular you are looking for? I have the entire USA in DEMS. The Bryster

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood you. http://wwwflag.wr.usgs.gov/USGSFlag/Data/shadedRel.html AND: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/bathymetry/ And something that will certainly come handy at some time: http://www.photolib.noaa.gov/ Many photos of anything. BTW, what are you doing up that late? :-)

Bryster, Whooa, well, The Grand Tetons, in Yellowstone...thanks, what size are they? Doh, I just discovered I have an app that uses the data to produce a bitmap...:}However, I appreciate your most kind offer, couldn't find any National parks except Grand Canyon, so Yellowstone would be the one...

Wait a minute, got any from Patagonia, in South America, the landscape is really alien...:) Erlik, I maintain websites, and upload new stuff to mine, it is faster in the wee hours of the morning, guess I'm a nighthawk (my Cherokee name) at heart...:-]

Couldn't find any of the Bitter Root Wilderness Mtn Range in Idaho either...

Try whether you can do something with this: http://edcftp.cr.usgs.gov/pub/data/DLG/100K/ Yellowstone is, of course, under Y. There's something called Blackfoot in Idaho. No Bitterroot Mountains. also, importing 16-bit DEMS and similar formats into Bryce: http://www.nps.gov/carto/silvretta/bryce_dem/ Patagonia: http://www-radar.jpl.nasa.gov/glacier/Patagonia/patagonia.html Not very detailed, I'm afraid. Interesting maps: http://visibleearth.nasa.gov/Land_Surface/Topography/ for instance, the tectonic map of the North and South Poles.

side note- check with the Terragen folks, they have some plugins that handle DEM's, and you can export the landscapes into Bryce..well, sorta..;) I've done it, tho..(the export from Terragen).

The app I found on my hard drive was 'Wdemvert', works really well, Erlik. thanks for the Patagonia link, Pakled, hadn't thought about Terragen til you mentioned it, I have some terrains I exported way back, I'll check Garcia, you can never have too many free apps to play with...:)

I think you can import DEMS straight into Bryce....?

Yes, you can. But: There's something that I cannot recall fully, but I think it had to do with the fact that even after you extract the DEM file from tar/gz archive, you still have to add the zip extension to the resulting file (which has no extension) and then unzip it before you get the proper DEM. I did something like that for "One Morning in AD 795", but it was pretty long time ago and have never repeated it, so I don't remember whether the previous paragraph is fully correct.

I seem to remember using a DEM of Venus for a tryout. Don't remember having any problems with it,..........

Hey Erlik,
not with 3DEM it opens the zip or tar/gz archive,and lets you save DEM,image or Terragen file.quick and simple..
you can then simply load into Bryce..

Robert..
