Just got this off Rochr over on facebook. There are some amazing photos that could lead to some varied martian landscapes in Bryce.

I see why Bryster wants to keep it to himself. It is amazing! I want to go there.

In photo #21.....that isn't a dust devil, I think that actually IS the Bryster scurrying across the Martian landscape in search of the comfy chair!

How long shall we let him search before telling him its burried under the dust and ice from the avalanche in photo #6?

The closet fell off the edge of the cliff, which is what set off the avalanche in the first place :-P

skiwillgee....your experiment turned out really great....I like it!
Bryster....if that mirror is gigantic enough, I might be able to comb my hair
in the morning just by looking your way. That will save me time standing in front
of the bathroom mirror. I'll just be able to jump in the car, look up at that giant
mirror, comb my hair and drive to work all at the same time!

Skiwillgee, you've got something going on here. You've started something that I think a lot of us are going to be up all night trying to do from these images... :laugh:

Hi Guys.
If you´re out for some seriously highres surface greyscales, make sure to take a look here.
Plenty of stuff to experiment with, and with a little luck we might even spot Bryster on a few of them. :)

FranOnTheEdge posted Sat, 14 November 2009 at 1:48 PM
Wow, those are just great, I love all the different surfaces that are shown.
Now this is not a complaint or anything, these are just so good anyway, but I was wondering why dothey have huge images of a big area - in greyscale, but only a thin strip of that same image in RGB?
And what's the similarly thin strip that's labeled as "IRB" and often (but not always) has a blue streak down one edge and or a dark greeny blue streak along the top???
By the way, you're a rotten b*gger posting this, I just wasted a large part of the day staring fascinatedly at these. Lol.

Nice to see you here.

Just an experiment with those images. A quickie using photo 8 as an photo based terrain. I can't wait to see what else can be done with the photos as textures and such.
