Created geographyart.com where you can select anywhere in downtown Vancouver BC and get a 3D printable model based on LiDAR. Volunteer at MapTime Seattle #maptimesea

Hi, this weekend I deployed geographyart.com

You can use it to generate a 3D printable model of anywhere in downtown Vancouver BC based on LiDAR data

Here is an example, painted it with OSM and satellite images

Let me know if you have any questions, or if you would like the las file I used, it can be kind’ve difficult to find good lidar data

GitHub - solomonsealed/las2stl: Easily generate 3D meshes from a Lidar point cloud Easily generate 3D meshes from a Lidar point cloud - solomonsealed/las2stl

There is an awesome map club in Ballard!

This is the python script which got me started github.com/code-fabrik/..., but it wasn't able to handle the really large las file I had, so I had to update the sampling method. I forked it and uploaded my changes to a repo here github.com/solomonseale...

I converted a LiDAR .las file into a printable .stl using python! This is Ballard WA

You could call this map β€œRave in Eryri” or β€œSuper Eisteddfod”

Another beautiful map, well done!

May I ask where you get your lidar data from and what tools you use to process it?

I have a .laz I’m trying to convert to an .stl to 3D print. I’ve tried cloud compare and mesh lab but I’ve only had (limited) success with a python script

Topography of Czechia is interesting too. The Sudetes mountain range form a ring around the core of Czechia. The rough terrain is likely the reason for the high forest coverage, and why you also see high forest coverage in Alps, Carpathians, and Pyrenees.

Nice 3D monster portfolio, I just want some lidar data though

I like BlenderGIS a lot though which has elevation data and OSM

Nice expleriments, lots of nice green space and cool river, but no idea this city any hints?

I was in Cardiff this October. Had Welsh Caribbean fusion Jerk Lamb, and explored the castle. Charming map, recognized it right away :)

I have not been able to find any LiDAR data of Rome, but I think that is ok because .las files are super difficult to work with anyways.

The OSM data looks very interesting though. More contributions to building outlines would improve it a lot

That is very interesting to see the expansion over time

Do you have lidar data for Rome? If not it will be hard to create a 3D replicate which I can print :)

Hi Bluesky, this is my first post! Does anyone have any ideas / recommendations on where I might get lidar data for Rome? I want to make a 3D model of the city. Thanks :)
