images like the one in the videos from the OP are easily done with software, you just have to "feed" the photos and the software does the rest.

For All: this thread is not on: "If Curiosity is on Mars or not." (it is on Mars) or "if those photoshopped images coming from Curiosity or not" (don't came from Curiosity but from other probes like Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, Mars Express etc...).

half the posters here think that's what the thread is about.
Because some people just can't look at a topological map and visualize the terrain in their mind's eye.

Your question has been answered many times. Are you refusing to read the answer?

This should be entertaining...
Try answering Arken's question instead of pretending that the answer has already been given on previous pages. If it had, you could easily have linked to it. The truth is that you cannot answer his question and are forced to pretend that you don't need to supply one.

Well what can I say...
A composite image from a computer game, designed to give the masses the 'curiosity experience' is being used as proof positive, of the nefarious deeds of NASA?
You people do realise that this is a computer generated 3d landscape, that has used an edited image, that has been sown together, then stretched over a 3d model as a skin right? RIGHT?
You do realise that this is for entertainment purposes, most probably for children right? RIGHT?

Because the program the images were used on, is an entertainment facility, not required to have accuracy "down to 1 cm".

Ok, I've asked around, and the possible reason for the copy&paste is that the needed to stitch several images from different sources together. There might have been some missing or corrupted data, so the next best thing for them to do was to clone an existing patch over it. If they had left a blank space, the conspiracy crowd would be crying about that (like they do with Google Sky).

Your question was answered on page one, by this post here:

The purpose of that link was to entertain, help generate interest in the MSL project. It was not used to explore the landing site prior to Curiosity landing. So yes, those pictures are cut, copied, pasted and CGI rendered for that purpose: entertainment.

What the..? Those images are for entertainment? But the video game you linked to in your first post is supposed to be scientifically correct? That link you just got is to the raw images that the video game is made of!

For the benefit of people landing on this page without reading the entire thread, the YouTube videos are simply wrong when they claim these images are from Curiosity. They are not. They are clearly labeled as a CGI simulation of the landing site, put online months before the probe reached Mars. Several links have been posted to both raw and processed imagery of the landing site taken from orbit, despite the OP's claim that they are not available. Given that the claims made n the videos are false, this thread should have been moved to [HOAX].

As to the question you keep asking, it has been answered countless times. If you are going to simulate a landscape for what is, in effect, a video game, you need to use generic fields for texture. What is so hard to understand about that?
Originally posted by DJW001
In this case, the entire thing is CGI. Nowhere is it claimed that it is anything but CGI. What part of "this video game uses information from previous probes to create a simulated 3D environment" do you not understand?
