Description
For those of you who are visiting my gallery for the first time, the history of Pathfinder City can be found under the posting of the original B&W Pathfinder City picture.
With a lot of work in PSP5, I was able to colorize the black and white photo and this is the result. Some folks also wanted dust tracks and so I added a few--probably not nearly enough for realism, but enough to suggest some tracks. Hope you find it an improvement.
Credits:
Terrain: created in Bryce 6 using a photo taken by NASA's MRO satellite of the Pathfinder landing area. The same b&w photo was used to texture the terrain.
Buildings and structures: Generators and storage tanks by Ed Baumgarten, as are all the single story dwellings. I "kaboshed" the latter to make larger, more complicated buildings and added my own textures.
MR-6 and Mars Mule created by me in B6. The other vehicle is one that I created using Davo's "Ground Vehicle Construction Set" (DAZ). It was textured by me.
Thanks for taking a look and for all your comments.

Yes! Some color to the modular settlement! Colonists! Add luster to our fair new home--paint your dome today! Good stuff! Keep up the great work!
YEEES !! Coool colored version !!! Fantastic SF scene & story, Ur dust track are very efficient & realistic !! So good job !! xxxxx,
Awesome scene for sure, this is a must zoom in piece. I love the mood, fantastic colony render!!!
Wonderful work, congratulations! five stars from me!
Fantastic Jeremy, very nice cool colours, really excellent scene and an outstanding image, it looks awesome.
Nice. this one definately needs to be viewed as zoomed in. Not to be critical in any way however I would have expected to see solar panels and a hydro dome, both of which are on the Mars plans last I heard. Another thing I woould expect is to see a building/compound marked with the radiation emplem. Still a darned great upload tho. :-)
like how this has worked out!!!
Excellent job my friend!
Fine attention to detail, like the tracks on the ground
Very nice job on the colors. Yeah, tracks are a pain to do, but it helps to give the image a more "lived in" feel - like a real scene and not a sculpture park. I like it.
The closeup view is excellent! You can see the paths made by the vehicles and the crispness of the render.
Your hard work really is incredible. Looking closely I can clearly see the incredible amount of time you put into this and it is appauded, excellent work and while both images are lovely I think this one has the edge in terms of sheer devotion to the art, well done sir. ^^
I like this very nicely. Great work of sci fi. Hopefully someday the reality will be more than our imagination.
The coloration adds an interesting touch. And I think the tracks added to the sand is a needed detail. Good job man!
