Very Nice Howard!

I noticed it yesterday by myself and because of your work since yesterday  i'm searching the web for Lunar DEMs!

You woke up my antique passion for all that is related with 3D.

I am involved in 3D CGI since 1989 and some years ago i found "terrestrial" DEM but i'd love to have some fun playing with  models such your Hadley... who knows doing 3D animations or so.

2 passions: 3D + Moon = 1 bigger passion!

Do you know if there is some possibility to get homemade 3D models from  stereo pairs?

For not going OT if you want you may answer directly at:

Thank you in advance!

Alberto

Oggetto: Re: [Astro_IIDC] Lunar Photo of the Day

--Very cool way of generating the a real 3D relief map. What sort of
vertical exaggeration did you use for it?

The vertical exaggeration is not too much: there is a 10km
difference between the bottom of the crater Hadley and the top of
Hadley Delta, which would be one inch in the model. It's about an
inch and a quarter. This is very rugged terrain.
