4.21.07 Papervision3D Terrain Map of Mammoth Mountain Ski Area

Yes, another 3D terrain map done in Papervision3D. Below is a proof of concept that USGS D.E.M. (Digital Elevation Model) information can be easily placed into a Papervision3D Mesh.

I will be developing this further to make the [x,y,z] more “visually correct”. There are many more things to be done, but this is a simple example of USGS STDS DEM information converted into a Mesh3D Papervision3D object with custom triangulated faces.

holy moly, is that really comes from DEM data?

Yessir,

I built a class to take DEM data from the STRM format to a simple [x,y,z] set of vertices into a Plane Papervision3D geom.

I currently am still actively working on trying to do surface mesh optimization off this data and I’m very close to adding this to the my custom Plane class.
