Ceres - First draft

Ceres - First draft

Description

As The Dawn Space Craft Has Begun Orbiting Ceres I Thought I'D Try And Turn The Images Coming Back Into A 3D Model. The Poles Lack Detail Due To The Combination Of Dawns Orbit, The Sun And The Limits Of The Photogammetry Software I'M Using (Agisoft Photoscan). Essentially I Could Only Map Those Areas Not In Too Much Shade. I Hope To Make A Better Model When Nasa Releases More Images. The Source Of The Nasa Images: Http://Dawn.Jpl.Nasa.Gov/Multimedia/Images/ I Broke The Gif Animation Into Frames And Used A Blank Black Mask With A Tolerance Of 150 In Photoscan To Mask Areas In Too Much Shadow. Any Less Was Resulting In Warped Models. I Then Used Blender To Add A Sphere To The Model In Order To Fill Out The Poles. I Then Passed It Back To Photoscan To Generate A Texture. Then Back To Blender To Texture Paint The Poles.
