8k mars map without static bumpmaping

Post #1by jim » 18.01.2003, 15:30

Hi all

I'm working on a 8k mars map without static bumpmaping (for better results with dynamic bumpmaping). I use the well known 10k map from spacegraphics. Now this is my first result.

Now my question is there already a unbumped hires mars map available? If it is so tell me how i can find it and i will stop my work.

Bye Jens

Sorry, I don't know if there's such map. But I'm posting to ask you if you know where can I download this Mars 10k texture... thanks! (I'm currently using 8k)

Jango,

you find this 10k map at http://www.space-graphics.com/redmars.htm. But celestia textures must have a size with a power of two (e.g. 4k, 8k, 16k) that means you can't use a 10K textur. I will resize my textur after processing.

Bye Jens

I'm not sure what's (visually) better - your SpaceGraphics 8k jpg or
the 8k dds I've been using?
