High Res Mars needed for beauty shoth with Olympic

Hey Guys,

i'm looking for someone who has a good version of the planet Mars that I can use as a background or directly in 3D Max. I seem to remember that there was a guys here at SFM who made a high-res version of mars but I can't seem to find the person or thread.

I need a very, very good version of Mars for a high-res beauty shot I'm making for the space ship the Olympic (see WIP thread in my signature). Also I may use it for furure beauty shots, also with the Heracles.
Due credts will be provided for on every beauty shot of course.

i've got a 2500x1250 map here, but i guess, that will not suffice, will it?

Sure, it will always be welcome. I guess if I can't find a suitable, already made model, I'll have to dive into the planet making process. Any good maps or texture that you wouldn't mind sharing I'd be happy to receive.

You could check with aszazeroth. I think Howard Day did one too. I don't have a link but I think there are some high res maps available from nasa

Thanks guys! I PM'd both aszazeroth and Howard Day and I've also downloaded those maps from the site to have a go with it myself.

For those of you who newly open and read this thread, by no means feel restrained for giving other alternatives or offers to share

Cool! that a very good site indeed. Still not high-res enough for what I'd like but well enough to make a mockup.

Maybe you find Higher-Resolution ones here, have found here in the Earth´s Collection some very Hi-Res Earth Maps, but you must search the whole bunch manualy: Images of Mars and All Available Satellites
