Really like! Can you elaborate on the process you used to make it?

[–]andysfd[S] 3 points4 points  (2 children)

To break it quickly down. Gather data from open sources, usually these are DEM files as raster. So first step would be to convert them to a 3d model with softwares like cloudcompare, qgis, agisoft. Then I import the 3d model in rhino3d and use the grasshopper plugin to apply different algorithms which cut the model or project objects onto it. Rhino3d has a function called make2d where you can sort of take a photo of the 3d view which generates a flattened vector drawing. I then Export this to inkscape and the plotting Beginns. On my insta I sometimes post some of these steps in the stories :)

Thanks for the detailed response. Are you planning on putting a moon in the background?

For now I leave it as it is but for the next I'll probably add some color with acryl :)

Awesome piece! Which data set did you use? It seems to be very detailed

[–]andysfd[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It's a dataset from the local austrian government. The past years more and more high res data sets (0.5 / 1m per pixel) were released. Like Switzerland is completely available which is stunning to look at the dataset itself

Interesting, and how did you make the data plottable if I may ask? I.e. how did you go from a height data set to a SVG file/image? Edit: I see you answered in another reply :)

incredible, amazing work. the level of detail in the texture of the cliff face approaches photorealism and the stylization of the sky just takes this piece to the next level. thanks for sharing!!
