GIS

visualizing
geospatial data with Blender
connects objects’ attributes with their location
connects objects with other objects
simulates the real world
is about finding spatial relations
uses a map as a visual connectorSlide11

Blender: what is needed?

GIS, to
process a format readable to Blender
Blender, to
make attribution available
bring in
