Phoebe from Cyclops, Dec 2005

Post #1by t00fri » 28.12.2005, 14:16

Hi,

I am working on implementing the new and very nice, hires Cyclops maps of many Saturn moons, possibly even for the forthcoming maintenance release celestia-1.4.1...

Here is an impression. Note that Phoebe is rendered here without a custom mesh (just roughsphere.cms)...

Nice!!
Question: how do you do to render a non-spherical shape without a mesh?

I think Fridger meant that he didn't use a specific mesh for Phoebe - as none has been done at the moment - but he put his texture on the the standard roughsphere.cms mesh (as I did)... Am I wrong ? :wink:

I understand that the source images are b&w, but might it be possible to tint them to have colors more in line with the known color of these objects?

Of course, as all my textures, the colors will be computer mapped from some true-color reference image (as far as available)

The present shots represent just the first step of quite a lot of tedious texture work ahead of me...

I like the 16k Enceladus texture. The first B&W image makes it look like quite a desolate place, an appropriate atmosphere for a cratered moon.
