The maps aren't physically 3D but use a special foil and printing technique to give the optical illusion of 3D without squinting.
The buildings are very simple in this view as simple extrusions are usually enough, but occasionally something a bit fancier is called for.Īt the risk of being accused of advertising (and I respectfully hope that this reference will be seen as relevant in the context of this thread), I also produce hard-copy 3D maps (no computer required).
The mini map scrolls with the user and there are hot-keys to toggle elements of the model on and off, jump to pre-programmed locations and a few other tricks like split-screen views showing the model and real-world panoramic photos. I have blurred out the on-screen coordinates and mini-map out of courtesy to the client (although this model has been used in public exhibitions so it is not confidential anymore). I do a lot of work in 3D, especially landscape visualisation for planning proposals.
