RT @MapNav_Tom: You know all that amazing #cartography that people like @stevefaeembra produce using #Blender? If you want to know how to c….

Eduardo Paolozzi Statue - Master of the Universe (1989), in the grounds of #edinburgh Modern 2 gallery. #photogrammetry, 3d model made from 40 images in #Meshroom, and rendered in Blender #b3d

Fort St George, Blender #b3d, #aerialod and #qgis. Experiment in using Dot Product to get a toon shader look. Dot product of Normal with (0,0,1). Horizontal planes as white and vertical planes as black.

Visualising the 1944 Bergen Harbour explosion of the ST Voorbode. Done with #qgis and Blender #b3d DEM from Kartverket, data copyright #openstreetmap contributors

Geology of Edinburgh. #b3d, #qgis, using WFS from BGS @BritGeoSurvey. Aggasiz Rock (Blackford Hill) and Hutton's section (Salisbury Crags) getting shot from space with lasers

Question for QGIS users. I'm using 'point cluster' symbology (in Firenze), and I want to scale the markers according to number of points in the cluster. Is it possible? I thought there was a variable cluster_size but not seeing it? 😕 #gischat #qgis.

here's the node network. It's using adaptive subdivision, and a radial gradient (driven by frame count) as a multiplier to make the land rise. By changing colour ramp you can go for different looks

Blender Animation experiment - Radial gradient swipe of Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh. #b3d #qgis

Woot! After several failed attempts, got a #rayverse render to work on my Windows laptop. 😍 Used Bing Chat to give me a code snippet that actually worked. Not used R for a long time, so stoked to be playing with it again. (Also, is POVRay still a thing? 🤔)

The source map stops just south of the Jordan Burn, so anything south of this is a guess. I'm more confident about the Canaan Lane location; there's a wall mounted marker opposite the entrance to Woodburn House.

The path of #Edinburgh water pipeline between Comiston Springs and Castlehill. Data copyright #openstreetmap contributors. #qgis #blender Source map Kirkwood, Robert, fl. 1806-1828, via NLS Maps (see .

Parts of Scotland visible from the summit of Ben Nevis, in ideal viewing conditions. #QGIS. Cut off radius at 190km. White / Green are land, blue/black are sea.

Edinburgh New Town Elevation. George Street is the backbone. #aerialod #qgis #b3d using #Whiteboxtools "remove off-terrain objects"

Northumberlandia, a landscape sculpture by Charles Jencks. Lidar data from Defra, rendered in Blender, texture from QGIS (elevation filter)

Animated looped Chladni patterns done in Blender. Two params are in ratio of e to tau+=1

LCD Pixel animation, in Blender. Used geometry nodes with "Geometry proximity" node to choose between lit/unlit pixels. Font is agressively scaled and with no antialiasing, got some 80s/90s look.

Tip: In edit mode, select a sea face, then select faces which are "similar by Normal" with a tolerance of 0 to choose flat areas for deletion or material assignment). Also good for keeping mesh count down.

More sobel rendering in Blender. These are the Cullins in Skye, using OS OpenTerrain 50. Used cryptomatte in compositor to render flat areas differently

DEMs for Svalbard and Norway's other polar outposts are here. , these are way outside the SRTM extents. Now, the hunt for Greenland DEMs begins. this looks promising:
