Texture maps
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
# The new textures repository in their original quality can be found here:
|
|
https://www.deviantart.com/celestiaofficial/gallery/68412929/Release-Textures
|
|
|
|
In particular, there are textures of Jupiter, Saturn, Phobos and Deimos.
|
|
|
|
# Most of the old maps are from David Seal's site: http://maps.jpl.nasa.gov/.
|
|
|
|
Some of these maps were modified, with fictional terrain added to fill in
|
|
gaps. The Galileo spacecraft model is also from David Seal's site (though
|
|
it was converted from Inventor to 3DS format.)
|
|
|
|
# The Mars, Neptune, and Uranus textures and Mars bump maps are all from James
|
|
Hastings-Trew's collection.
|
|
|
|
# Grant Hutchison
|
|
|
|
Saturn's rings were built by Grant Hutchison from Cassini imaging.
|
|
|
|
The Eros map is a shaded relief generated from the NEAR laser rangefinder.
|
|
|
|
# Jens Meyer
|
|
|
|
Dione and Rhea are USGS maps colored and modified by Jens Meyer.
|
|
|
|
The Moon map is based on data from PDS Map-A-Planet at with colors from
|
|
Mark Robinson.
|
|
|
|
# Fridger Schrempp
|
|
|
|
'Available data' Pluto and Charon textures using maps created by Marc Buie
|
|
at Lowell Observatory. Buie's maps were generated from photometric data
|
|
gathered during six years of mutual occultations of Pluto and Charon.
|
|
|
|
Titan's cloud texture in natural colors and its surface map at near-infrared
|
|
wavelength. They are based on resources available from the imaging site
|
|
(Ciclops) of the Cassini mission http://ciclops.org/
|
|
|
|
The Phoebe base texture was created from the cylindrical map published by
|
|
the Cassini imaging team
|
|
(http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA07775)
|
|
|
|
The Tethys textures are based on the Oct 2008 Ciclops map
|
|
(http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA11116)
|
|
|
|
The Iapetus texture was created from the Oct 2008 Ciclops map
|
|
(http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA11116)
|
|
|
|
The Lunar topography and bump maps, using Clementine laser altimeter data,
|
|
merged in the polar regions with topographic data from Clementine 750 nm
|
|
oblique and nadir images.
|
|
|
|
The Mercury map was created from a combination of Mariner 10 imaging
|
|
with recent MESSENGER WAC images from the first two flybys, as collected
|
|
and reprojected by Steve Albers.
|
|
|
|
# Phil Stooke
|
|
|
|
Proteus, Janus, Prometheus and Epimetheus maps are from Phil Stooke.
|
|
|
|
The Ida and Gaspra photomosaic maps are by Phil Stooke.
|
|
|
|
# Venus's clouds and the textures for Ganymede, Callisto and Saturn are from
|
|
Björn Jónsson.
|
|
|
|
# Venus's surface is a copyright-free NASA image, prepared from Magellan radar
|
|
data. The original is available at
|
|
http://www.solarviews.com/cap/venus/venmap.htm
|
|
|
|
# The Earth texture was created by NASA using data from the MODIS instrument
|
|
aboard the Terra satellite.
|
|
|
|
# Steve Albers
|
|
The Io and Europa maps are by Steve Albers.
|
|
|
|
# The textures for the Uranian satellites were created by Ivan Rivera from JPL
|
|
data. His Celestia page is: http://bruckner.homelinux.net/celestia.html
|
|
|
|
# The Hyperion map is a photomosaic assembled by Phil Stooke and
|
|
colored by Jens Meyer.
|
|
|
|
# Amalthea is a shaded relief map by Phil Stooke, colored by Wm. Robert Johnston
|
|
(http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/spaceart/cylmaps.html), and further modified
|
|
by Jens Meyer and Grant Hutchison.
|
|
|
|
# The asteroid.jpg texture was created by Paul Roberts.

|
|
|
# The textures for the five classes of extrasolar giant planet were created by
|
|
Andrew Tribick.
