Description


Dick Bill leads the way for the rover out of Kasei Valles, going south, in Lunae Planum, where a second fluorine-rich crater was detected. With two or three fluorocarbon factories, the minimum production for the northern hemisphere will reach 500 tons a year. Year 2057, at Christmas, begins Mars terraforming.

I had to do some photoshop work on this one. Kasei valles montains in the backgroung are from terragen. Trace, volumetric, zmesh, days to render on my 1.2 Ghz athlon. But beautiful isn't it ? ka !

Did you use the 3DEM app to convert the terrain over from the MOLA files?

I like the scene lighting. You must have used all the red color in your palette ;o)

Hi Shayhurs, No, not here. I have the 3DEM application and I know how to use the big topographic MOLA files. Well, here I could have use it for the backgroung Kasei Valles but I was lazy. I just did a quick terragen landscape and render it and use the picture itself as a backgroung. If I use the terragen or 3DEM 3d file inside imagine as a real landscape, the render time is going to be too long, at least in raytrace mode like here. Anyway, I appreciate that someone cares about the exact topography used in my pictures so next time I promise to generate the background picture from the MGS MOLA files. As about a view from inside the rover, my modeling skills in lightwave improve. I forgot to mention that the rover was modeled in LW7.5 but textured in Imagine IFW2.1.6. Stay tuned.

Richard,....WOW...your best yet and well worth the time...do you know about Vue d Espirit?...Ver.2 was on a cover disc a while back and may still be available at their site...has good a render speed ,and faster,than terragen,plus has a very cool set of procedurals and allows mapping of images so is a good backgrounder in that you can match stuff up in imagine pretty good...also exports the terrains as .obj's with accompaning colour,(.bmp),and bump(.gif,need converting)so you can actually sorta get them into imagine..Z is up in Vue as well.keep on spacing

Thanks for the comments. About vue d'esprit, it's certainly a great program and I might try it. Is it better than bryce ? I use terragen because 3DEM (the only one able to read the MOLA unless sombedy tells me of another one) can output Terragen files and render superb martian landscapes with real curvature that even Bryce can't do.

Pretty damn cool image... The dust looks great, the only thing i could possibly suggest is a little DOF.
