Candor Chasma, a map of Mars

[Francissimo]

Hello everyone, this month i've been playing with DEM data from a region of Mars, Candor Chasma. It was quite difficult to do a 3D map with this one, the latitude and longitude system on mars wasnt really easy to use for 3D renders but after a tought fight i figure how to do it
The relief is real, i've use data from here: https://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/
A few steps of the work:
1: extract data in qgis and export in a format photoshop can handle
2: rework the DEM with Wilbur to add some water erosion feeling
2: play with textures and colors in photoshop, the color varies depending on the altitude
3: put the photoshop render back in qgis and reproject it with mars coordinates (the hardest part)
4: create 3D renders with the DEM and the photoshoped map put on it
5: create a starfield background and some borders in photoshop/illustrator

I've tried to depict what mars could look like after a few centuries of terraforming.
