@spatialoccasio1 @Julian_H0ffmann In answer to your question, ADS-B Exchange offer free sample data for one day in the year @ adsbexchange.com/data-samples/ I've added details of the download and Blender python script in the blog post @ beyondwatts.com/behind-the-sce…

@spatialoccasio1 @Julian_H0ffmann Thank you 😀 Really liked your version also. Would be really interested in how you used geometry nodes for your simulation!

Here is a selection of the *coolest* 3D maps, visuals, and map-like worlds from the past months you don't want to miss. Wonderful dynamic, interactive, static, creative or artistic visuals PART 3. #Dataviz #3dMap #GIS #3D #Cartography #GISchat 1/20🧵

@Julian_H0ffmann Thank you Julian, another incredible thread! ADSB data must have been a theme this month - I posted a different view of the 30,000 flights recently on the other site... More details and full HD video @ beyondwatts.com #blender #blender3d #python #dataviz @spatialoccasio1

beyondwatts's | @beyondwattsuk incredible and beautifully detailed visualization of AIS ship movements data. Wonderfully animated and stylized. Made in #Blender3D. #3Dmap #b3d #gis 4/🧵 twitter.com/beyondwattsuk/…

@lars_petersen99 Awesome 👊

Ireland will get you fit! 💨🌊💪🥳 It’s simply on EVERY single day! Today mother nature even spoild us with 12-13 degrees. Not bad for Feb!

Fractal Cities: Hannovers Tetrominoes & New Blog! mapzilla.co.uk/work/fractal-c… I'm closing this r&d project of visualising different methods of showing cityscape expansion with this little viz of the Mitte district in Hannover getting built up with tetrominoes. #3d #map #animation

@CraigTaylorViz Great read! Amazing work and fantastic to hear about the challenges - that's part of what makes this such an interesting space 👍

From voxels to voronoi to tetrominoes, the project was full of geometry-based problem-solving which I thought would be interesting to write about. It also gives a bit more insight into my workflows and some of the challenges along the way. Behance link behance.net/gallery/163145…

Fantastic stufff from everyone 👍

Popped back to twitter briefly and there's some awesome content to share #geospatial #dataviz #Blender3d and other 3d tools

@CraigTaylorViz Fantastic! As always 👍 Just published a Behind-The-Scenes blog post about my AIS Shipping Animation from #30DayMapChallenge . Looking forward to reading more about your fractured growth! beyondwatts.com/behind-the-sce… #BehindTheScenes #Blender3d

Creating an animation for fractured growth was tricky but figuring out a way to join construction age to a detailed 3d model with zero attributes was harder! A lot went into this and previous examples, I am halfway through writing a blog on 'how I made it', so watch this space...

Fractal Cities - New York City Technically one of the hardest animations I've created, I lost a few weekends to it & gave up a few times but pleased I persisted. It shows the animation of buildings in NYC *roughly* by their construction age from ~1850 - 2020. #3d #map #dataviz

@Julian_H0ffmann @TeleGeography Awesome! Are you on mastodon yet? I am @beyondwatts@beyondwatts.social although this may be blocked.....

The Global Submarine Cable Network. Experimental map animation made in #blender3d and #rstats, v2. Data from @TeleGeography. #gischat #b3d #internet #globe #dataviz #tech 1/🧵

Wow, along with short haul flights ... France is really knocking it out of the park. Meanwhile in the UK ...

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Neil Diamond, who retired from performing five years ago because of Parkinsons, just had a Broadway show of him open and it at the opening night he did this

More experiments in data visualization in #Blender3d! Plotting 100k stars within 1000 light-years of the Sun. Thanks to @CgFigures tutorials for showing how to bring data into Blender. I love seeing the faint shape of the Milky Way emerge in the brighter more distant stars!

@Ezaan84300488 @weeklyOSM Post is up, hope it's useful

@Ezaan84300488 @weeklyOSM Take a look at beyondwatts.com for some 'Behind the Scenes' info. Next up will be a post for this very animation using #osm data, shapefiles and #blender

#30DayMapChallenge has flown by for another year. Have really enjoyed everyone's creations in my feeds each day. Thank you all for sharing.
