CGI Moon Kit Reviews and details

• China's Moon atlas is the most detailed ever made

  I started with NASA's "CGI Moon Kit" [1] to do my little voxel-based moon game, Mooncraft2000. Higher-resolution data would have been cool – but at some point the enormity of the data would probably mean I would have to stick to a small area of the Moon lest I fill my little server with tiles, ha ha. https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4720. - Source: Hacker News / 10 days ago

• Moon with NASA CGI Kit (Textures look unrealistic in closeup, Shadow problems)

  Some more information, I am using a sun lightsource in the roughly 30m away. I am using a GAIA DR2 Image for the background of the galactic plane, set on strength 0.1. For the moon I am using the NASA CGI Kit, with the Color plugged into a principled shader, and the displacement image plugged into a displacement node, into the displacement output.

• An Exploration of the Moon’s Surface in 3D

  These great Moon images were obtained from NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio : https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4720 using the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter camera and laser altimeter instruments. Source: almost 2 years ago

• I got bored of making a donut so I just started playing with the sculpt tool

  If anyone wants the texture, it can be found here from NASA. Source: over 2 years ago

  Haha thanks. NASA takes all the credits for the moon though! Https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4720. Source: about 3 years ago

• Moon in Blender 2.9. Critique in comment section.

  I found a color and displacement map for the moonhere. Source: about 3 years ago

• Blowing up the moon

  A simple RBD explosion sim in Houdini I made about a week ago. The moon is actually just a deformed sphere with a moon displacement texture: https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4720. Source: about 3 years ago

• Planet Textures?

  Https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4720 Nasa has a high-res displacement map of the moon you could build off from, and colour map if you want it. Source: about 3 years ago

• MOONTRACK

  NASA has actual color and displacement maps available for free here https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4720. Source: about 3 years ago
