Title: Mars Exploration Rover Video online
Post by FalconFly on 21.02.04 at 21:28:50

Since I was asked to host/mirror the Video by some friends, I thought I may as well post it here :

It's a brilliant scientific Animation (featuring full Soundtrack), and for those interested in Science, probably the best scientific Animation I've ever seen.

Isn't the Rover Graphics powered by nVidia?

I read it on nVidia's website. They're technology was created for NASA. :)

I take it you mean this Link ? :
http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_10688.html

It states that they do cooperate with NASA for Visualization of Mars Surface Data, but the Video that I mirrored has been Rendered by MAAS Digital

So no NVidia here, just Lightwave 3D ;)

Yeah, that was probably it. I just skimmed through the article. Too lazy to read it the first time! ;D
