These animations have been created from the files of MARS altitudes located on MOLA Web site, with the ideas seen on Paul Bourke's Web site. The mesh to create Mars skin has been developed by triangles technique from my own self-made programs linked with a real full ('97457') color Mars picture by MGS probe.
I will place here my packages asap.
The ray-tracer program is the classical PoV-Ray tracing 3.01g software.

Full screen AVI (800x600) in 16M colors are available for DSL surfers on this special page.
