Having started 3D modeling around 2001 , it became an obsession. At first it was more like a hobby, but after some time, i started selling some stuff, mainly models and some animations. For developing 3D content it is helpfull if you create a story where the models are used as well. First you present them in the process and developing is easier, because you need them to get the story on. Those adventures also document my artistic development, i dont hide the bad ones. Enjoy them. Django

I'm in the middle of reading the second book "Green Mars", in Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy. This could very well be the a scene from that novel. Now that I think about it... I don't remember any German characters in the book... American, Russian, French, Japanese... hmmmm... no English or Australian folks either. Still, a good read... and this image might've made a more interesting cover than the paperback edition I'm thumbing through. Well done, sir. :o)

Well if Robinson was writing his Mars Trilogy today, he'd probably include the Europeans more. At the time, the European Space Agency was in its early stages and not doing anything spectacular. Out of sight; out of mind. I expect when colonization of Mars begins, it will a veritable melting pot for the Solar system; not unlike America in the 1800-1900s, or Australia today. So I expect there will be lots of Germans as well as Mexicans, Brazilians, and Indians--just to mention a few. One thing is for sure, they will among the toughest, brightest, and best of humankind. As for Dajango's picture, if you are trying for absolute realism (which is always a personal choice), you need to drasticall scale the height of the terrain way down. Olympus Mons, for example sticks way above the Martian atmosphere, but its profile is really very flat--hundreds of miles in diameter, but only about 15 or 20 miles high. That means from this POV, most of your sky would be black space. Also the sun would be about half the diameter in the Martian sky that it is in Earth's sky, being approximately twice the distance from the sun than our planet, so it would look a lot smaller. Still, it is a very interesting and wonderful picture of Mars from very near space. I do like what you've done.

Well, it looks good to me! Sounds like you had a lot of fun creating it! Excellent work! (:

Great place to visit, but I would not wanna live there :) Most effective terrain work and I like the placement of the sun, with the lens flare, super work DJ!!!

Terrific. Thanks for Sharing. :-) Jeremy and I both use DEMS, plus a fun program "MARS EXPLORER" that compiles DEMS to give a 3d mars topography. horizontal & from overhead. Using Vista Pro to add more DEMS. in theory it works out great. ike you I would love to make it to Mars, at least perhaps my ashes can. I do hope to see tyou post more Mars works. Dwayne
