Aerialod insomniac night is soooo back! 🇰🇷

Getting ready for #30DayMapChallenge!

#30DayMapChallenge Day 13, New tool
Today, I explored #Aerialod 0.0.2 for the first time, which allows overlaying a colour image on a #3D model. The result? A stunning visualization of #Rotterdam, the Netherlands with some fog effects.

#OpenData: AHN4 0.5 m DSM and 8 cm aerial photograph, downloaded in #QGIS via the PDOK Services plugin. Preprocessing done in QGIS.

Turntable animation of the Isle of #Eigg. Done in #Qgis using a heightmap derived from OS OpenZoomStack contours, crown copyright and database right. This allowed me to get a much higher resolution DEM than OS OpenTerrain.

Rendered in #Blender, imported via #Aerialod PLY format. Applied a decimate and smooth remesh to remove terracing artifacts.

#Blender animation - camera rotating around a point above Interlaken in Switzerland. Used #Qgis and #Aerialod to make the mesh.

Using my depth map/sobel filter hack, but not normalising this time - using a map range node instead.

This stops sudden jumps in brightness when the distance changes.

Can't believe this is under 1Mb in size for 270 frames

Tidore and Tirnate, two volcanic islands in Indonesia. Done using #qgis, #aerialod and #blender. Data from SRTM.

Using "billboard" technique to show labels and a camera direction dial. This technique lets you make sure things always look aligned to the camera (or rather, a point very far behind the camera)

#30DayMapChallenge Day 30: My favorite...

My favorite coffee bars in Copenhagen. All are cozy and have good coffee. Some are just conveniently near my office, but some also have truly exceptional coffee. I am getting a little obsessed with #Aerialod and finished this in  #QGIS.
