Mars mesh generated from NASA Mars elevation data. 2m faces.
Generated from 2048×1024 image (used GDAL for scaling, so geographical information should be preserved).
Caveats:
- Not ready for 3D printing, holes at the North and South pole. .obj quads, is not triangulated.
- Not entirely accurate, assumed that Mars was perfect sphere to generate the mesh instead of a more sophisticated Martian geoid, which the elevation data is based on.
- Elevation is exaggerated 2x to a reference radius.
