Adrian Lark has produced a 3-D animation of a flight over Mars. The animation was produced from data from the Mars Explorer, and is displayed in real time. That means that there was no overnight rendering that had to be performed to produce this video. Now that is impressive.
This is an animation flying over southwest Candor Chasma on Mars. It was created from NASA’s HiRISE DTM and image data. The spatial resolution is 1 meter for the altimetry data and 0.25 meters for the image data. There is no vertical exaggeration. The animation was created using Mars Explorer and was captured in real time.
Be sure to check out some of the other fun renderings based on the HiRISE data as well.
