Hoy os presento mi último trabajo de reconstrucción virtual en #3D, uno al que tenía muchas ganas y que nos va a permitir viajar a uno de los enclaves romanos más importantes de la Península Ibérica: #Segóbriga, la ciudad del lapis specularis. ¿Me acompañáis? ¡Dentro hilo! 🧵👇 Image
En las cercanías de Saelices (Cuenca), en plena Meseta, se encuentran los restos de una de las ciudades romanas más interesantes de la Península Ibérica, sobre una colina que domina el valle. Imagen: https://megaconstru...
Muchos de los que vivimos en el centro de la Península conocemos este yacimiento desde pequeños porque nuestros institutos -¡gracias a los dioses!- se encargaban de llevarnos allí a disfrutar del Festival de Teatro Grecolatino. Imagen: https://www.cuencan...

Tutorial thread Blender 3-D Population Density👥📊🗺️Maps through @KonturInc using #QGIS and #Blender....#esri users you can follow along too because it can be done in your software too #gischat #thread #geospatial ImageImageImageImage
So I would divide this tutorial into four parts
1. Data Gathering(with @KonturInc )
2. QGIS(Black map and Color Map)
3. Rendering in Blender(No geometry nodes)
4. QGIS or other softwares (final touches)
So @KonturInc is a really good geospatial data provider together with risk management solution provider who deal with a lot of things as shown in link below But we will focus today on Their wonderful population data

Tutorial thread Blender 3-D Maps🏔️🗺️🧵: In this tutorial I'm going to show how you can also create 3-D Maps like the one shown below. Using #QGIS and #Blender....#esri users you can follow along too because it can be done in your software too #gischat #thread #geospatial ImageImageImageImage
So I would divide this tutorial into four parts

2. QGIS(Black map and Color Map)
3. Rendering in Blender(No geometry nodes)
4. QGIS or other softwares (final touches)
1. In data gathering I normally use @OpenTopography to download the DEM required for blending/rendering .....the 90m and 30m and 10m are key consideration when downloading dem for instance in small area 30m works well but in large areas 90m works best....

1/ E se 5000 pessoas partissem, em simultâneo, de Lisboa, cada qual com o seu destino até uma das 5000 localidades mais populosas de Portugal?
A única regra é: Utilizar o caminho mais rápido.

#Portugal #Map #visualization #Python #QGIS @iestruturas_pt
2/ Este foi um "projecto-experiência" que fiz, há 2 anos, e nunca cheguei a publicar. O resultado foi visualmente agradável e, por isso, entendi agora, não deveria terminar os seus dias em oblívio numa pasta chamada pt_dent_exp_00.
3/ O intuito foi criar uma visualização animada dos padrões dendríticos que emergem da nossa infra-estrutura rodoviária e, com isto, tentar modelar o aspecto de uma "figura de Lichtenberg" ou - não muito diferente - a da propagação de um relâmpago.

I have really wonderful news! #QGIS.org is going to fund a full-time document writer to help the really overtaxed documentation team. Please read the rest of this thread for details!
This will be a 12-month contractor position with @KartozaGeo acting as the managing company for the employment contract.
The salary (1300 EUROS per month) probably means the position is more suitable for someone living in a developing nation where the cost of living is low.

1/ Los mapas son herramientas clave para comprender la realidad social y como esta se plasma en el territorio

He hecho este mapita sobre la ciudad de Teruel en el que se aprecia perfectamente el constraste en los edificios del casco histórico y los nuevos desarrollos urbanos
2/ Está hecho con #QGIS , un software gratuito y los datos están obtenidos con Catastro Inspire

Si os gusta puedo hacer un tutorial sobre cómo hacerlo, que no es muy difícil y algunas personas me habeís preguntado como hago los mapas 😁
3/ Para este mapa en concreto me he inspirado en este reportaje de @eldiarioes , uno de los mejores que he leído en los últimos años

Acabo de actualizar y subir las imágenes de #docker para correr las últimas versiones de @qgis (3.27 master, 3.26 LR y 3.22 LTR) a mi cuenta de #DockerHub: hub.docker.com/repository/doc… Image
@qgis Puedes entender cómo manejar estas imágenes siguiendo esta entrada que hice en el blog de @qgises: qgis.es/post/2021-03-2…
he aprovechado también para crear imagen #docker para los nostálgicos de #QGIS 2.18 o aquellos que aún tengan ese plug-in que nunca se actualizó a la versión 3.x Image

Crimean native names in Southern Ukraine.
The map covers historic names of places (toponyms) used by people native to the area of the former Crimean state "Qirim Yurt" and around it.
#QGIS Data: qirimlide.wordpress.com Image
The project was initiated by Roman Alieiev, who lives in Germany and Crimean Tatar “QIRIMLI” initiative group.
See the video for more details
Crimean Tatars are one of the main indigenous peoples of Ukraine. This is enshrined in law.

I did a comparison of the different hill shading tools in #QGIS and got some amazing results. Each one was blended with a DTM to give a bit of depth. Have a look at this thread for details on the 7 ways I tried, these are the most interesting. 1/n
I was using a DSM of Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh. The first method was the most simple, just switch to Hillshading in the Layer Style Panel. Not bad, but a bit low on contrast. 2/n
I then tried the Terrain Shading Plugin, I ticked the Bidirectional lighting to boost the contrast. It was a bit disappointing compared to others but the Plugin can be used to calculate other layers which can be combined manually to create much better effects. 3/n

I've been looking at animating vector data in #QGIS with the Temporal Controller instead of the Time Manager. I started with @tjukanov's brilliant exercise: medium.com/@tjukanov/geog…
I wanted icons not circles, but Icons have directionality & I wanted them to face the right way
Thanks to @HeikkiVesanto giving me the code to find out the direction to the next point in a sequence:
...which I wrapped in a function to convert to degrees, I could use a Data Defined Override to set the rotation.
Now I had to overcome the issue of trains heading east being mirror images of trains heading west. I used InkScape to make two electric train SVG icons to account for this. Note they are facing down to avoid the 90° correction in QGIS as rotation breaks if you go over 360° Image

If you care about #Asia’s #rivers, or interested in its #paleoclimate, I have a data set for you: 813 years of annual discharge (streamflow) at 62 stations on 41 rivers in 16 countries, from 1200 to 2012. This thread explains how we created it, and all the data underlying it.
To estimate discharge hundreds of years ago, we need three things: (1) modern discharge observations, (2) a proxy of past climate, and (3) a model that links those two.
Most of our modern observations came from GSIM, a massive effort by Hong Do, @LukGudmundsson, Michael Leonard, and @sethwestra. Besides, we emailed everyone we knew asking for more data, and our colleagues kindly shared theirs.

I might be the last one on the population flag map bandwagon, but I’m pleased with the result! Thanks to @StatCan_eng @StatCan_fra for providing nearly *half a million* polygons to select from.

#cartography #gischat #QGIS #canada @CanadianGIS @GANSorg

(Details in the thread.)
Over the last couple of weeks people have been posting their population flag maps, so I thought I’d try my hand at creating one for Canada. I figured that with detailed census data, I might even be able to include a reasonable facsimile of the maple leaf.
So I went to download the boundary file of Canada’s 56,589 dissemination areas, the smallest geographic area for which full census data is provided. That’s when I discovered that Statistics Canada also provides a 'dissemination block' boundary file.
