Title: Another shot at the Moon
Post by: inkydigit on April 26, 2013, 05:41:28 PM
De ja Vu?
(...Selene - a familiar face...
a default planet object in terragen 2, scaled to match lunar dimensions(ish!)
with data from here:
<a href="http://wms.lroc.asu.edu/lroc/global_product/128_ppd_DEM" rel="nofollow">wms.lroc.asu.edu/lroc/global_product/128_ppd_DEM</a>
and colour image from here: (thanks yossam!)
<a href="http://www.terragen.org/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item594" rel="nofollow">www.terragen.org/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item594</a>
used 1 image map shader for the displacement, and 1 (with a transform shader to rotate the colour shader) for the colour surface...)

...Some sun direction tweaks, quality and render size increase too...
slightly exaggerated displacements....
I like it here... I might stay
cheers
Jason

Very good work. It's one of the best moon renders I have seen.

Totally photographic. Did you use the 64px/degree image?

Thanks folks!
@ Ulco - I think it is 128 for the displacement data (first link above) - I forgot to add that I used additional colour data from here also: http://laps.noaa.gov/albers/sos/moon/
A huge detailed image... :))
This rendered really fast - I am contemplating an animation!
A bit of reading to do first, as I haven't got the foggiest idea where to start- yet!!
Cheers

Renders without atmo go really fast indeed. Looking forward to an animation with this.... 'let's fly to the moon'

Another iteration.... this uses more detailed elevation data... 100m per pixel DEM  (32bit tiff) - (available in tiles from previously mentioned links), kindly stitched and provided by BigBen...(cheers Ben!!)
Terralunagen!

Holy cow, it's almost like landing on the thing when you enlarge.

Great!
I wishI had this kind of data for Mars!

thanks,
but what I ment was 128px/degree grayscale-map of the whole surface. couldn´t find that there. Maybe I just don´t know how to look, and how to open mny of the formts (img? jp2?)
the dtms are great, but mostly narrowstripes, these are not very easy to use for a tg-Scene.

Thanks anyway,
J

TG has a native Mars MOLA data loader. It should be able to handle the entire 128 data set. Quite nice. :)

Never tried to experiment with MOLA stuff. Another thing on my to do list, which gets longer and longer.. *cries
