This animation was rendered with Terragen 2, the new landscape renderer under development by Planetside Software. Minor colour adjustment and filtering was done outside of TG2. Elevation data from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) was used to displace the surface of a Mars-size sphere. Because the resolution of the data is limited, fractal noise and procedural rock strata functions provided additional (but fictional) detail to render pleasing images from very close to the planet's surface. Atmosphere and surface colours are purely fictional. Fractal noise shaders and relief-dependent shader distributions were used to colour the surface. The satellite Phobos is approximately to scale in the animation, but its shape is not real.
