Submitted some work to the Ahvaland gallery which opens on the 19th this month! The theme is "Crossings" and I made a few images following the journey of a tugboat passing some interesting cargo. Originally I planned a series of 6 images, but got around to finishing 3. If I can get my kung fu in order, I may get another one done.

Here's a before and after of one.

I'm honing in on the light and mood. Dial in the scene, then narrative and details last. Narrative and details last... #mantra

I think I spent too much time on this. The principle I try to follow is being general in the beginning and details at the end. But I found myself tinkering, going back and forth between details and broad bludgeoning. Bad habit.

Must move on... (the crack fiend tell himself). Back to work, landsculpting later.

Some raw renders, as I do some composition seeking. The sky (not shot by me) was originally portrait, I rotated it and the clouds look like smoke drifting upwards. Happy accident, but doubt I'll use it.

More doodling. The key thing here is to figure out a route through the image (that involves making decisions) and tidying up. Until then, using fog and writing copious amounts of poetry is a place holder.

Chuffed with this one; QGIS > Blender > Keyshot > Photoshop. More workflow exercises. The geometry is a little clunky, but underneath it is "accurate".

Actually, I should get off my arse and tidy it up...

So from LiDAR to QGIS and now to Autocad and Blender. I've managed to export files whilst retaining height data;

Blender (using shapefile .shp)

Autocad (using DXF)

The process is, how does one say, a pain in the arse. QGIS was not built for 3D.

There's a way to do this via command terminal. However, if you work in an office where you need "admin" clearance of some sort, that technique may not work (it requires referencing system files).

So I messed around until I could find a way inside QGIS (eventually through a built in plugin called GRASS). I'm still unsure how I got there. In my mind, what I want is simple (LiDAR > GIS > CAD and 3D). But, each field is a profession on to its own; the GIS people, the CAD people, the 3D people. Knowledge inside each field is strong. Knowledge in-between them is thin.

It's a good day. I've been wanting to learn how to do this (make contour maps from LiDAR data) and now I can, your boy's levelled up!

I will add, I think there are other methods to do this in Autocad and Sketchup, but those are through proprietary avenues and plugins. Learning it in QGIS means I can get the data to you regardless of your CAD choice. In the words of team america, freedom isn't free.
