Mars I

These images of Mars were created using an enhanced version of the Mars3D viewer software available from this site.

Some of these images(or similar images) are available to buy as 35x23 inch posters. The images used for the posters have a resolution of 8000x6000 pixels, they were created using a 3D model of Mars consisting of 200 million polygons.

Topographic global image showing Tharsis Mons(left) and Valles Marineris (center). White/red represents high ground, purple/blue low ground.
6 Topographic globes showing the whole planet. Top right is the north pole, bottom right the south pole.
Black and white image of the north pole. The blurriness at the center is caused by the low density of MOLA data at high lattitudes.

Mars II


These images of Mars were created using Bryce(3D rendering software) and the MOLA data collected by the Mars Global Surveyor. The model of Valles Marineris from which these images were produced consisted of over 300 million polygons. Every single MOLA measurement within the Valles Marineris area was used to create the 3D model.

Gravity


These images were created using a modified version of the Gravity3D software which simulates galaxy collisions using the Gravity equation. The same simulation was run many times and the images were combined to produce the final images you see below. Each image is made up of hundreds of millions of stars.

In some images the colour is mapped to the star's acceleration in others it was mapped to velocity.
