Simple 3D model - Version 1 (March 2016 #6)

It is interesting that I'm probably more familiar with how the Lake District looks on these terrain maps than I am of my local and beloved Peak District. This is probably because every shop in the Lakes is selling very nice looking shaded relief maps of the area (and sometimes 3D maps too) because it looks really pretty, whereas the Peak District is... well... rather bereft of actual peaks. Doesn't make it any less beautiful but the fact is that you probably have to be there appreciate it.

 

I think this map looks quite pretty though. Similar technique to the Lake District ones (just got more local). However, this time I produced all of the following layers in the 'Relief Visualisation Toolbox V1.1' (iaps.zrc-sazu.si/en/rvt#v):

 

* Analytical Hillshading

* Sky-View Factor

* Positive Openness

* Negative Openness

 

Brought them all into QGIS, played with the styles, transparencies, blends and outputted it to QGIS2THREEJS when I was happy.

 

DEM Data from SRMT1 (30m)

Roads, water and national park boundaries from OS Open Data

 

A tiny tiny amount of colour correction and noise reduction in photoshop - nothing else.
