Day 6 of the #30DayMapChallenge (3D), a render of Mount Rainier with a realistic atmospheric skydome generated w/ a lat/long/datetime, rendered entirely in #RStats with #rayshader and #rayrender! The atmosphere is annoyingly realistic: I now have to dial in the exposure depending on the time of day!

#30daymapchallenge | Day 1 Points | Fall Foliage 🍁
We're at the tail end of autumn leaf color here in Madison. Here's a quick pair of maps to help you hunt down the most prevalent street trees that show off in vibrant yellows vs the less common but spectacular oranges and reds this time of year!

Day 1 - Points
Rhode Island Lighthouses
Most of my maps will be about Rhode Island. A good way for me to learn about a place (and find datasets) is to try to create a map of a thing.

Tree height map of Montréal. See the blank space without any trees in the middle? If you aren't from Montréal, what do you think that is? :)

Debated whether I should participate this year—a crisis of confidence and purpose and all that—but here I am again.

Happy #rayrender Halloween indeed!
@tterence.bsky.social inspired me to whip up an animation: a pumpkin made entirely in rayrender! (CSG for the carved pumpkin, extruded path stem, cyl + sphere candle, and r_obj eyes)
Also, denoising made the below animation render in <3 minutes! #RStats

Continuing with forest canopy heights, here's one of Switzerland.

Forest canopy height of beautiful Shikotsu-Toya National Park, Hokkaido. I rather like how the mountains look like holes and are distinguishable from the lakes by looking at the way the canopy height changes.

A visualisation of forest canopy height in Shiretoko National Park, Hokkaido, two ways. Which do you prefer? I can never decide. What I can say is that Shiretoko is beautiful. And windy. And the sika are unafraid. Also, hot waterfalls.
