Arrokoth, new mesh, new map
Posted: 20.07.2022, 17:12
recently a new Arrokoth mesh came out here
associated paper is this
so i made a CMOD of the mesh, and a natural color map using a Wikipedia image, this process involved in map making Blender, the new mesh, and Askaniy's TrueColorTools, did final cleanups in GIMP
(code below is originally from CO)
