Ships of the Gulf of México. Thought I'd try to overlay all of them on one viz this time. Probably clearer if I split them up, no?

I can now paint with #rayshader. This is with a mere ten samples.

This lo-res, firefly-ridden render of Brasil's power transmission lines (osm and derived) took hours. Turns out even with Tyler's amazing optimizations, I can still bring the rendering process to a crawl. To be fair, it's over 150k lines.

#30DayMapChallenge · Day 26 · Transport. Yet another visualisation of global shipping density. But it's engraved on metal with realistic light and shadow. Because we can do that in R.

#30daymapchallenge | Day 22 Data: Natural Earth | The Great Islands
Earlier this summer I finished this print version of my map from last year depicting our Great Lakes as islands. Been trying to learn more about lighting techniques in Blender—I think this was a big leap forward from 2024 version!

#30DayMapChallenge · Day 22 · Natural Earth. Many spinning globes. Honestly, I don't know how to use this amazing resource because I'm—no surprises here—not a cartographer. Am just a one-note guy who likes R.

#30DayMapChallenge · Day 21 · Icons. Lighthouses of the Pacific. Yes...I've done lots of lighthouse maps but not in this projection. I still like it—there's nothing like path-traced points of light realistically rendered.

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!
