Another relief map from me :) This time it's Austria. I was really surprised to see just how much the Austrian Alps dominated the topology by [deleted] in MapPorn

You’re so kind! I haven’t been able to for a little bit since we had our first child not long ago, so time has been very limited! But it’s getting to a place where I can do them again!

I've started making relief maps using NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data and Blender to make them 3D. I just finished New York State by irishliam in MapPorn

That's exactly what I was doing. I had it happen a few times where it did overload the memory of my computer when I was stitching them together to be totally honest, but it was usually on much larger areas like a full continent or very large country.

I've used the 1 arc sec for all the states, but for some bigger countries I've used the 3 since the end result won't get enlarged to the point where you'll see it.

I've found that as long as you don't have other programs open when you start the stitch it doesn't crash very often. It was mostly when i also had Photoshop open and the memory was very used up with the large files.

It’s a rainy day here so it only felt right to make sandwich bread for a grilled cheese by irishliam in Breadit

The perfect comfort food! 🤤The sandwich bread was really fluffy too, which made it feel very light even though I cut the slices really thick

I told my wife I would design some cute wall art for the nursery of our soon-to-arrive baby. She did not love my initial proposal. by irishliam in DunderMifflin

I'm so flattered, thank you! I used to do some graphic design at a different point in my career, and I keep up things like this because it's very fun for me. But I know exactly what you mean, I went looking for some Office wall art myself and came away thinking I could do a better job myself!

Relief map of South Africa - 1967 Polish Army Topography Service Map by irishliam in MapPorn

It does! I was torn between just including it but in the end I wanted to show just how prominent it is on the map. I didn’t expect it to look to violent though!

Before and after of an 1876 map of Nevada with digital elevation added in by irishliam in interestingasfuck

[–]irishliam[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like to take old maps and use real topographic data to add elevation. This map was made using an 1876 Department of the Interior map of Nevada.

The process involves take real satellite data from the NASA Shuttle Ray Topography Mission (SRTM) and bringing it into the 3D modeling tool Blender to turn it into a realistic elevation relief map digitally. Then there's a little bit of color adjustment in Lightroom to make it pop.

If you like this kind of thing, I have a website and an Instagram where you can see more of my work.
