Here they some other 3d animations:
Two large, experimental downloads:
[http://jumpjack.altervista.org/immagini … -anim3.gif]Crater (700KB)
[http://jumpjack.altervista.org/immagini/arm-anim.gif]Arm (1500KB)
Let me know if you like them!

Once again, these look really great. However, is there any way to increase the brightness of the first animation? It's hard to make out details.

I just took the images and put them into the gif animator, without retouching them, it would take too long time to retouch images before creating each animation...
I just wanted to know if you like my job, to know it if it does worth the effort of continuing it.
Ok, if I'll have the time, I'll make other photos...
Please submit the links to the images you would like to see animated (I can't animate all images of 160+ Sols...)

C'mon, you know you want to!
Seriously, that would be a very big file...
And, again thumbs up, esp for your 2nd chosen pic, on the crest of the crater, gives a very good idea of the slope (thank you)
Why don't you just keep this topic going, instead of making new ones, but just post links with a short description and an estimate of filesize, like you did on the last ones, that way the pages can still display pretty fast, even on dial-up...

Hmmm... Did a very quick 'n dirty stringing together of pics myself... Conclusion: if you want to make a 'travelling' series, with pictures taken while Spirit or Opp. is driving along... Then prepare for some headaches... just stringing left-right pics in a L1-R1; L2-R2; etc way doesn't work, if you switch at the speed Cassioli does, the scenery is pseudo 3D, but just barely so, because 1) you only see the two L-R pics once, no time to make out much detail, and 2) the travel is over before you know it... if you slow down, it just flickers/jitters annoyingly...
So you should repeat L1-R1-L1-R1... several times before switching to L2-R2... That'd be a lot of trial and error, and huge files if you don't convert them to something like a heavily compressed movie...
Non-pseudo 3D, OTOH, is a piece of cake, and lots of fun... just string the pics (only either L OR R) together in a slideshow, and sit back... Opp. travels are magnificent... I did a short slideshow-series with the 230kb-ish pics, beautiful!

The robot has moved enough: now we have 3d hills! :band:

Those hills look so appealing..as if we're there walking in that direction...looking forward for better pics as the rover moves further closer in. Even the Gusev crater rim is visible!

Thought I'd give the technique a go, used images from Spirit on sol 93 [http://web.onetel.net.uk/~graemeskinner/spirit1.html]LINK bit jumpy perhaps, maybe after a bit of image editing to get rid of the obvious rover jumping effect it would not be too bad an effect - I'm going to have to buy that gif animator now, do some landscape ones with my camera to see what happens.

There was a young lady named Bright.
Whose speed was far faster than light;
She set out one day
in a relative way
And returned on the previous night.

For simple L-R gifs, if you use a Mac, you can use the excellent (shareware) GraphicConverter... (I tried it, it works, even with more than 2 pic series, but I paid the shareware fee, so maybe some options are restricted in the trial-mode... )
Just plump your pics in a folder, and convert them to a GIF, with the 'movie' options on... Instant gratification!
(I'm a huge GConverter fan...)
