Another shot at the Moon

[inkydigit]

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

You are most welcome. That is fantastic.

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

[Jo Kariboo]

Excellent. Very beautifull !!! 

[Dune]

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

[inkydigit]

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
Jason

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

Great Moon! Sheer Terragen Lunacy!

[TheBadger]

Awesome! Really looks fantastic.

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!

[Dune]

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
