"A New Perspective on Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasi
Cyclone Yasi made landfall near Mission Beach in Queensland, Australia in the early morning hours of February 3, 2011 as a Category 5 storm. This image of Cyclone Yasi uses MTSAT-2 visible imagery from February 2, 2011 at 0632Z, late afternoon in Australia.
The image here is visualized using McIDAS, Photoshop and Maya. McIDAS was used to access and image the data from NOAA's MTSAT operational satellite ingest server at a resolution of 4096x4096 pixels. NASA's Blue Marble data set provides the colored land imagery. Two images were prepared in Photoshop, one a combination of the land and satellite image in color and one in black and white darkening all but the white cloud tops. The black and white image was used as a displacement map in Maya, creating the 3D appearance of the clouds, and the color image was draped over the displacement as a texture."
