Very important appointment for me today.

I have just visited the Minister for Land Information’s office in the Beehive (executive wing of government) to see my award-winning* Te Waipounamu/South Island #map on the wall

(*Best Print Map at the 2022 NZ National Map Exhibition)

@terglobo You have to apply the data transfer modifier first before exporting the paper model

@terglobo Yes, that's what I used to create the nets I linked to. It's a great add on!

It’s here in the flesh!
So good to see my #ArthursPass and #Tongariro National Park poster maps in physical print form.
If you want a copy, they’re free with this month’s edition of Wilderness magazine.
Made in #QGIS and #Illustrator.

Blender #b3d workflow:

🌏Add UV sphere & image texture of Earth (plate carrée projection)

🔷Add a polyhedron (eg icosphere) & give it same material

🔗Add a Data Transfer modifier, and map the Face Corner Data from the sphere to the new object

✂️Add Subdiv to reduce distortion

Day 20 of #30DayMapChallenge 2022 – My favourite...

...summer activity is canyoning. So here's a map of the canyons in Arthur's Pass.

I created a series of symbols to encode the vertical and aquatic grading. I stopped short of also encoding the commitment grade and star rating.

Day 19 of #30DayMapChallenge 2022 – Globe

Platonic Earth

I've replaced the spherical Earth with each of the Platonic solids.
Map projections are now trivial: just unfold the polyhedral globe.

Here's the flat versions to cut out and fold back up: https://southarrowmaps.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/PlatonicEarth.pdf

I make 2D and 3D maps of all sorts of places in #NewZealand, and overseas.

I specialise in #ArcGIS, #QGIS, #Illustrator, and #Blender #b3d

I'm interested in all things #cartography, #maps, #dataviz, #3D, #GIS, #GISchat, and #graphicdesign

I'll post all sorts of #map things here, but my full portfolio is on southarrowmaps.co.nz

I'm also in Insta, FB, & LinkedIn (links in bio)
