Hello, here’s a piece I finished recently of Ben Nevis and Fort William in Scotland. This was made using Ordnance Survey data and Graswald, plus some low poly trees using a particle system.

The landscape features are geographically accurate, with a little artistic licence!

Scene is from near Banavie facing south east.

Fantastic. It was coming across some of your stuff that inspired me to try using OS data… you
manage to get such nice light and atmosphere!

Thanks! Your stuff is great! I tend to go for a low angle sun pointing towards the camera

Very nice.

Can you share some information on how you get the elevation data out of their native format and into Blender? Do you use something like ArcGIS or QGIS?

Thanks, I use FME but you could achieve the same result in arcgis or qgis. Link here to my process https://youtu.be/oeVUWTSkAlk

Thanks! Excellent video. I’ll have to search for that functionality in QGIS. Normalizing the image data would have never occurred to me.

The displacement of the water is very very enlarged.

Great one.
The glares reflection in water, is your creativity or calculated from render engine?
What you used for grass and trees?

Thanks, I added glare in the compositor. Trees are a single instance using particles, grass is using Graswald

Very nice! I remember coming across your work way back - an image of Beddgelert, IIRC. Anything that combines (open) DSM/DTM and realistic vegetation is good in my book :slight_smile:
