Here are the remaining X3D collections I've found on the GigaMacro website. All are courtesy of Neville Thompson with the exception of the MRO HiRISE images from Neal Spence. Enjoy!

This is totally amazing, Dan! Once again, well done sir!
@MarsX3D
Thanks Dave 😁
Thanks Dan! I need to organize and list my Rover(s) gigapans, you just reminded me!
I apologise to anyone searching my Gigamacro page, so far its about 220 un sorted / categorized HiRISE, MSL and Percy pics that you have to scroll through!
Neal
You're welcome Neal.
So I have a question for you.. Are the stereo pairs that I discovered on the GigaMacro site processed by you and those who upload them, or does the site have a way of turning all of the images uploaded into stereo pairs? I noticed that when I searched (I first realized that using an outside search engine like Duck Duck Go or Google gave me better results than the internal search on the GigaMacro site), for you, Neville and Keith Laney, the images I got were not stereo pairs. Once I caught on to the naming convention that Neville was using (I tried "MSL" at first), I used the GigaMacro search and all the stereo pairs came up.
Yes I've been away. I'm back. And thanks, Don this is great!
@Jimmy
Glad to see you're back on here. 😁
Dave brought to my attention that the dual gigamacro images that I discovered aren't actually stereo images. He said they're both the left navcam images, if I remember correctly. After being told this, I did notice that you don't get a lot of depth, however I personally think it is much clearer viewing them locked together as a pair as opposed to viewing just a single image. Having said that, try it for yourself and let me know if you agree.
I also wanted to mention that Allan Walker (from the YT channel Mars The Second Genesis) has taken actual stereo images from different gigapans and uses stereo photo maker to scroll through these images. Because of the position from the Rover, you have to adjust the parallax to keep the images in focus with actual depth. What he showed me was how to select a particular chunk of the larger image and cut it and create a smaller portion that holds the depth. It makes sense now after seeing him do this, but I still enjoy looking at the Gigamacro images like they are X3D.
Yes, that works, but it's kind of a roundabout way of doing things. It's always better to work with stereo pairs whenever possible. But careful 2D-3D conversions, where assiduous attention is paid to light, lighting angles, geology, apparent perspective et al, will also yield 3D results which are within a few percentage points of being what you would actually observe if you were standing on the ground. This has been determined in my own research by taking one image of a stereo pair (without having observed the combined images), creating a 2D-3D conversion and only then, viewing the original stereo pair and comparing it with the one I've generated. It is almost always a very, very close match.
