• High Fidelity – Terrain done!

  By Lyndiman on July 28, 2017 • ( 4 )

  

  Last night I retrofitted all the tile meshes with the JAXA DSM 30 metre source. As far as I’ve seen there’s no issues with the height data. So hopefully it will work everywhere nicely. Here’s a few screen shots of… Read More ›

• Test images – Hi Fidelity Terrain

  By Lyndiman on July 27, 2017 • ( 2 )

  

  Continuing on the discussion earlier about using a custom elevation model, I threw together a couple of tiles quickly based on data from http://www.eorc.jaxa.jp. Their data is available for use with attribution – so that’s LINZ and JAXA. Firstly, it… Read More ›

• So many triangles!

  By Lyndiman on July 27, 2017 • ( 13 )

  No pretty pictures from last night, but I’ve made it into Fiordland which is looking pretty good after correcting areas of dark and ultra bright blue-ish looking photos. The area around Oamaru is a bit of a mess – a… Read More ›

• WIP – Milford Sound Airport

  By Lyndiman on July 25, 2017 • ( 3 )

  

  With only a few minutes at it, I’ve created a new Milford Airport to test with. I would add a lot of objects to make this seem a bit more alive. You can see what Milford Sound is looking like… Read More ›

• Milford Sound touchups

  By Lyndiman on July 24, 2017 • ( 2 )

  

  I’ve added in a corrected Milford Sound airport (at least on my PC). I’ve also had to go along a short stretch of the Sound and paint in some more cliff, since the water was painted half way up some… Read More ›

• Runway double vision

  A weird element to using Ortho in X-Plane is that if any overlay is out of position, you’ll see it again in the ortho underneath. Milford Sound Airport is a good example of that. Right now it’s quite out of… Read More ›

• NZ Ortho WIP: Milford Sound

  By Lyndiman on July 23, 2017 • ( 0 )

  

  I haven’t had much of a chance to get much done this weekend. But I’ve added in the Milford Sound. I think I might need to redo it with a different curve tolerance, and patch up some cloudy areas. Here’s… Read More ›

• WIP – Southern Alps

  By Lyndiman on July 22, 2017 • ( 2 )

  

  I did a little bit of work last night along the West Coast of the South Island. I’d say that this is Mt Aspiring National Park. Some of the ortho photos look amazing and the general theme seems to be… Read More ›

• Ortho NZ: Run to (Christ)church!

  By Lyndiman on July 21, 2017 • ( 7 )

  

  After a lot of photoshopping I’ve got Christchurch to a state where it appears reasonably complete. The source was made up of patches of bright, yellow photo sets and was a real pain to put together. Some areas were almost… Read More ›
