I’ve gone back to my rule file that tries to create a semi-realistic modern day historic Arabic city core,  Yes it does have satellite dishes this is not a historic recreation of a bygone era….

Checking out landuses, yes I know the mosque is oddly proportioned…

The rule file can take existing GIS data (for example landuses per plot) and colour them based loosely the LBCS Code and colour values .  The colours aren’t the greatest for 3D but there’s always a compromise.

White is good…

A white model plus dusk as a time frame isn’t as successful as I had hoped…

Someone needs to get faster to render better looking trees than that…

My favourite view from the multi-storey car park…

  1. Nice work Elliot. This is something I would like to spend more time with (3D cartography) but there are not opportunities yet.

    Keep up the good work and share it with us.
