====== Importing Mars Terrain ======
Hi Everyone,
Following a user's recent request, I have added a plugin to import terrain from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) mission. The plugin is called L3DTio_MOLA, and is [[bundywiki>plugins:fileio:l3dtio_mola|available here]]. To use the plugin:
- Download the MOLA '.LBL' and '.IMG' files from [[http://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/missions/mgs/megdr.html|NASA / Wash. U.]].
- Select the '//File->Import->Import MOLA terrain//' menu option (note: option will not appear if plugin is not installed).
- Select the MOLA LBL file. The plugin will automatically load the associated IMG file.
Further notes on downloading and using MOLA data are provided on the [[bundywiki>plugins:fileio:l3dtio_mola|L3DTio_MOLA plugin page]].
The results should look something like this:
| {{:l3dt:2009:nov:molademo2.jpg|:l3dt:2009:nov:molademo2.jpg}} |
^ MOLA terrain, 2D view. ^
| {{:l3dt:2009:nov:molademo.jpg|:l3dt:2009:nov:molademo.jpg}} |
^ MOLA terrain, 3D view. ^
Cheerio,
Aaron.
