Here’s a quick look at some issues of using the JAXA GeoTIFFs for high fidelity elevation data. These custom files result in more polygons, so better lighting and a more realistic looking landscape. But for some reason the TIFF have… Read More ›

WIP – Before / After Corrections
Here’s a couple of before and after photos of where I’m up to. I’d really like to know how someone developed photos that are so washed out. I did a quick search to see if perhaps it’s a mistake with… Read More ›
Seams to be progressing
Here’s a quick look at where I’m up to around Te Anau. This originally was made up of very bright patches which I’m slowly reworking to all relatively fit together. You can see some final gaps need to be masked… Read More ›
Aoraki / Mt Cook WIP Shots
I’ve finished for the night and took a tour around the South Island to see how things are looking. Here’s some screenshots from around Mt Cook and the Southern Alps. I hate how the web smashes the images with compression!… Read More ›
Ortho WIP: Queenstown
It’s been slow going over the weekend. Mostly because I haven’t had much time on the PC, and also because the last couple of tiles have taken a huge amount of time to colour correct. The JAXA elevation has been… Read More ›
OSM Help
I’ve hit a snag with the tile -46+167 – it is coming out flattened at sea level. This might be because of these OpenStreet Maps errors during vector data build. Way id=216940345 was not treated because it is not closed…. Read More ›
High Fidelity – Terrain done!
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
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!
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 ›

Not a tree in sight!
