Yes correct, the arrow is normalised by speed and tanker size to an extent. With increased spoofing some of the tracks ping in strange directions so my workflow culls some of these leaps leading to the vessel looking like it disappears. I have an infographic I’ll share on spoofing in the region 👍

blobs haha! We really wanted to use our MarineTraffic arrows but the problem with fishing is there are long periods of static activity so the directions swing so much the vessels look like helicopters! Hence the blobs - no problem with direction 😅

I’m sure I’ve also seen Elizabeth (www.linkedin.com/in/elizabeth...) producing blender tutorials for mapping - I’m not sure she is on bsky. I’ll add to this when I come across others, I’ve been a bit absent from social for a bit so am catching up a little.

Hey - I have some basic tuts on my Mapzilla website for Houdini, off the top of my head, @julianhoffmann.bsky.social recently did a blender training session for 3d mapping and @peterincan.bsky.social has also produced guides for geoanimations in blender - both amazing 3d designers 👌

This was made almost entirely in Houdini and rendered using Octane. 👍
