Using data from sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/5… I wanted to create a distinct feel for each ecosystem – this needs work still and I need to source some better low-poly vegetation models but I think it helps to distinguish eco regions.

Thread: I'm working on a new concept visualisation for occupancy data in BODs which utilises #3d 'mounds' to show the net change of people on buses. I thought I would share my janky workflow to give a bit more transparency into how this is made 1/ 2/ First I start with 24 hours of data (Newcastle), whenever there is a change in occupancy levels points are created for the change. It's nice to see patterns along roads but it means very little at this stage, huge overlap in points etc.
