@mappingming Looks great!

Day 29 - Out of my comfort zone Bedrock Geology of Alberta map. Using new software and DEMs, in general, are out of my comfort zone. Glad I got a chance to try and I can see myself using it more🤓 I did this by following a great blog post by @WesleyBarr16 #30DayMapChallenge

Thankful I can attend virtually! #EsriUC

Love the combination of 2D and 3D elements to visualize data! #Datavisualization

New on the blog: Towards Less Blender-y Relief. In which I describe the "Blender Look," speculate on why a lot of Blender relief has this look, & humbly suggest alternatives if you're looking to expand your styles. somethingaboutmaps.wordpress.com/2022/01/13/tow…

Research tip: don’t scroll through color palette databases hoping to find the perfect one for your fig. Just copy the sprite of your favorite Pokémon into PowerPoint, select the eyedropper tool, and…

@kevinsblake Update: there's a page for it! pokepalettes.com

A quick 3D visualization of a gravel pile generated using #Pix4D #Photogrammetry. We use drones to measure the volume of these piles periodically to check how much material has been removed.

I did a thing...jelly mountains!

I'm still not sure why Arizona ended up on its side. Sill some bugs :D

I'm attempting to make poster sized prints of all the United States using the #gdal and #Blender3D python APIs. Here's the results of the first test run at quarter resolution #python #dataviz #b3d

Here's another render using the @CountyofGP open LiDAR. This time with some imagery to add texture. Kleskun Lake, northeast of the City of Grande Prairie, was drained in the early 1900s to create more land for cattle grazing and hay production. #CountyofGP #b3d #GIS #dataviz

Here's an oblique view of the @CountyofGP I created. Look at those crescent shaped aeolian dunes in the foreground! Stay tuned for more - I plan to show off more of the County's geomorphology with this technology #CountyofGP #b3d #GIS #cartography #dataviz

Starting to get more comfortable with Blender. I think this 3D render using #LiDAR freely provided by the @CountyofGP Open Data portal turned out well! #CountyofGP #b3d #GIS #cartography #dataviz

I didn't expect this to ever happen when I created my #GIS #WordPress site a year and a half ago.

. @OpenDroneMap is an open-source photogrammetry toolkit to process aerial imagery into maps and 3D models. @smathermather gives a great introduction to the software and shares insights into the #photogrammetry in general. #drone #geospatial podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ope…

@UUDreams @fecologist Check out USGS EarthExplorer for free DEMs and imagery. Also a lot of municipalities have them freely available

For the #arcpy users out there, I made a #Python decorator that can be used to automatically print a function's name, arguments, and run time and adds these to #ArcGIS #geoprocessing tool messages. #arcpy #ArcGISPro wesleybarrgis.wordpress.com/2021/05/25/aut…
