3D maps can look complex & difficult to make…
Here are 12 humans who proved to me that 3D is not out of reach:
Different tools, many styles... all fantastic: 1/14🧵 #dataviz #3dmaps #gis
Graig Taylor | @CraigTaylorViz: Legendary 3D maps made in #Cinema4D. Not only gorgeous maps but also perfectly animated worlds. His maps cannot be unseen. Clearly a #3dmap guru. #GIS #dataviz 2/14
Tyler Morgan-Wall |@tylermorganwall devlpr of the incredible R libraries #rayshader and #rayrender adding features & tutorials for free at an incredible pace: a *true treasure* for the #rstats #3dmaps & #3dviz world. A must-follow for 3d #dataviz. 3/14 🧵
Alasdair Rae | @undertheraedar a must-follow for any map lover. Creates splendid 3d maps with #Aerialod and even makes free courses and tutorials. Also *outstanding* #gis content! #maps #3dmaps #dataviz 4/14 🧵
Spatial_occasions | @spatialoccasio1. Magical 3d maps made in Blender. Someone who proved to me that blender was a wonderful tool for GIS. Spatial thanks to you :) #b3d #blendergis #3dmaps #tataviz 5/14 🧵
Sean Conway | @geo_spatialist a must-follow for #3dmap fanatics, especially topographical historical maps, made in Blender. Just hypnotising maps, a big inspiration and very productive artist. #b3d #gis #dataviz 6/14 🧵
Neil Southall | @neilcfd1 Amazing 3D maps made in R and #Rayshader always exploring the limits of what is possible with fantastic urban #lidar and other cool datasets. A must-follow for city lidar lovers & urban 3d #rstats #rspatial #3dmap #gis 7/14 🧵
Flotsam | @researchremora is extremely productive and constantly on adventures creating 3D maps in R and #rayshader. A huge #rspatial creative with wonderful density, topological and many other types of 3d maps. #3dmaps #dataviz #gis #rstats 8/14 🧵
Steven Kay | @stevefaeembra delightfully varied 3d map experiments with #qgis and #blender3d. Extremely creative and full of surprises. Follow him, you won’t be disappointed #b3d #gis #3dmaps 9/14 🧵
Jonni Walker| @jonni_walker from @Mapbox, a *beautiful* cartography wizard, 3D, 2D, Interactive & Static. Shares awesome content, work-in-progress and a ton of enthusiasm for maps and #3dmaps. Follow him 10/14 🧵#gis #maps
Steven Bernard | @sdbernard proved to me that blender was being used for fantastic visualisations and 3d maps at @FT . A huge inspiration for me, his work is outstanding! So glad I saw his creations. #b3d #3dmaps #blender3d 11/14 🧵
Owen Powell | @owenjpowell also proved to me that it was possible to create awesome 3d data visualisations and maps with blender. Splendid content to follow, a big influence. #3dmaps #b3d #dataviz 12/14 🧵
Andrew Price | @andrewpprice *the* blenderguru proved to me that you could create anything with #blender3d. His tuts are so good & fun that I even watched some *many years before* I even installed #b3d for the first time! Can’t thank him enough! 13/14 🧵
I've discovered many more wonderful people to follow, but this list here was a huge inspiration to me already a while ago, all around #3dmaps. I will probably need to extend this list soon, and also add some I forgot. Will keep you posted. #gis #rstats #rspatial #b3d 14/14🧵
