i see google has these available now:
http://www.google.com/mars/
the color coded elevation maps may be of interest
for height field experiments.
too bad the shadows are included.
still ... perhaps of use.

Great! Read about it there and they might be merging it with Google Earth
somehow. Wonder if Moon, Venus, etc. are next? Seems to go with it because
of how they begin with a vantage point out in space.

Yep. And I just realized I can't tilt the view to see terrain elevation
changes. Still a good thing to see. Maybe adding maps (pictures) to it, like
can be done with G.E., might become something to do for renders of space
scenes--- somehow, someday.

NASA gives this stuff out
MOLA data is from laser altimetry experiments and so should be intrinsically
shadow free.
if you really want raw data
http://ltpwww.gsfc.nasa.gov/tharsis/data.html
or

Google Moon has been around for ages.
http://moon.google.com/
Bret Taylor, the Google Product Manager, has said he's going to have a
look to see if the Earth, Moon and Mars can be made available more
simply in the Google Maps API.

I think I've actually seen that before, just didn't remember it. Probably
was posted before in these POV groups someplace. I usually take a look at
the google web page "more>>" link, though, and there's no hint of the
existence of a Moon or Mars there!

Good to hear about that. And, hey, you're doing tutorials about that stuff?!
And I thought you only had the isosurface one! ;)

That's one of the odd things about Google. It's got all these wonderful
extra bits but they're often hard to find. Someone on the Google Maps
API group mentioned Google Mars and didn't give a URL, so I Googled for
it, but Google Search doesn't find it. Fortunately Google Search did
find an entry in someone's blog that did have a URL for Google mars.
I keep losing Google Base (http://base.google.com/) and Google
Calculator (? no, can't find it). They're not in "more>>" or "Labs".

thanks ...
anyone have some experience with getting this data
into a form where it can be used with POVray?
Pointers? Tutorials?
tnx
