It's been a while, but as teased, here is what I dreaded as the final boss in my station complex mapping project: Times Square.

My first map in the tetralogy it's all been leading up to: the 42nd St megastation maps.
Next up: Times Square, then PABT, and finally one mega-map to rule them all with accompanying blogpost elucidating my methodology... or that's the plan at least :)

The main ingredient is the 3D scanning of the station using rtabmap with iPhone Pro's LiDAR. After puzzling together all these partial scans, I create a fresh 3D model in Blender using the scan as reference. Choose a nice perspective & render: tadah!
