Cassini-Huygens

In order to distinguish the instruments that integrate the satellite, the model is represented here without the anti-radiation protective cover that in fact covers almost all the spacecraft, as is showing in the picture left.

VRML model of the video

The position of the spacecraft in the model is totally arbitrary in relation to the Saturn image background, although this is one of the pictures taken with Cassini cameras.

Panorama 360 3D model and RA version

Updated and improved version of the original VRML model with more detailed geometry and PBR materials.
Point of view is the standard for the “Scene viewer” and “Quick look” systems for rendering 3D models.
