You are not supposed to post photos here, not even photos from a probe 
orbiting Mars.

And if they are rendered with povray, as described?

Nice, I like it !
And you are using interesting rendering technology (I've seen your
blog). For complete composition only spacecraft is missed. )

Thanks.

What about an extraordinary realistic and detailed spacecraft like this?

I believe Alain was gently ironic, the spirit around here is often much more
positive than elsewhere on the internet ;-)


Great images as for your previous ones !

Did you multiply the vertical scale? I had heard Mars features quite gigantic
terrain slopes but the shadow contrasts seem so strong in some areas it's
uncanny.

Maybe the elevation is exaggerated by a factor of 2, but not more. Have to
figure it out somewhen.

Some cliffs and gorges are extreme, that's right. But this is often
overestimated, because although Vallis Marineris is over 10 kilometers deep, it
is sometimes well over 100 kilometers wide.

Unfortunately, the raw data is not detailed enough for a real, deep fly-through,
and would then be very pixelated. Nevertheless, I will try it out somewhen and
see how pixelated the results become.

A question for better understanding: since 25 years, I keep track of the 
rendered POV-Ray scenes posted in this group, and in my local archive of 
POV-Ray images, I have several scenes posted by an "Ingo" back in 1999 
to 2005... then a long hiatus until 2019. This "Ingo" appeared to be 
Dutch... when did you actually start posting here as "ingo"? Its 
somewhat confusing...

See you in Khyberspace!

Quite good, also when compared to the POV-Ray-generated imagery of Mars 
(and his moons) with which I came up here in the late 2000s... and now, 
we should join forces, ask Larry "Synergy" Fast for a permission to use 
his quintessential "Phobos and Deimos go to Mars" (from his "Cords" 
album of 1978 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnwfKSFCcyE) as 
soundtrack for an animation showing exactly this: the two tiny 
asteroidal moons of Mars sent crashing into the southern dry ice polar 
cap by powerful deorbiting masses generated from "monopolium" (a concept 
gleaned from "Dragon's Egg", the famous hard sci-fi novel by Robert L. 
Forward) as initiation of a grand terraforming project...

See you in Khyberspace!

Yadgar
