Quote - I tried using the 13mb tiff version of this jpg as a HMap in VUE and got the spikey result. Olympus+Mons+04+Topographical+Map+by+Mars+Express.jpg
It's not a heightmap. Just a colored image is all. Pretty though.
Quote - I thought it would be relatively easy to find a DEM for Olympus mons that VUE could use. There are so many related sites, but some are very technical, and don't have a DEM ready to go.
It's rare to find anything out there for download.
I have a heightmap of the entire Mars. But it is lo-res, so Mount O. will not look as good. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1Lcc4fPCAk for the heightmap.
