Mars Gale Crater Map is a high detail extract of a small section of Gale Crater on Mars. Based on real-world data, this extract is setup as a 12km by 12 km landscape, offering 144 square kms of navigable terrain, that's covered by 49,000 x 49,000 pixels of color texture. The elevation map is derived from 1m height data (1 pixel = 1 meter distance on the ground) while the color map is derived from a 25cm per pixel resolution grayscale image. The greyscale color map has then had hard seams hand-painted out and colors painted over to give a Martian appearance. This scene is setup using World Partition to handle the landscape tiles, producing 144 landscape streaming proxies. This scene uses the Epic sun and atmosphere for lighting.
