Jupiter in High Resolution!

[Stormlord]

I used a brand new optimized map of Jupiter to do some high quality space renders of Jupiter.
The map used itself is a brand-new map, carefully cleaned up, optimized and very sharp in good quality.
I produced some renderings, they look better, than sitting on a space probe yourself... really cool stuff!
Let's start with my older map from Cassini, followed up with my latest map of Jupiter.


This is a fresh rendering with my older map based upon a map of Jupiter from the Cassini probe (retouched, cleaned-up, denoised and re-sharpened)


This is a render with my newer map from Björn Jónsson (link to that map is below)


Now we dive a little bit closer to show more details and the quality of this map


Jupiter and Europa
WOW, when I first saw the result, it really met my expectations!


Jupiter and Europa (As far as I can go with this resolution)
So finally, this render really blew me away! AWESOME!!!


Far out there (Moon Europa with a fictional ring system)

There is a very high resolution map from Jupiter out there from Björn Jónsson
In one of his articles, he presented his new map in an excellent quality

These are truly amazing. Nice work. And not all the credit goes to the quality of the textures. The scenes you built and the lighting really show them to their best advantage.
