Now you have a nice image of Mt Shasta, and you can see the erosion and detail quite nicely. It’s OK if it takes a while for each zoom, its slow. In all screenshots, because I’m too lazy to download Gadwin and because PrintScreen doesn’t capture the mouse, the mouse will be represented by a white circle. With the default tool, click and drag a box around the area to zoom into, keep a Google Maps tab open for area reference, and use landmarks to judge where you are going. To the right are all the tools, but only two of them are necessary. Hit “View and Download United States Data.” You can also get international data, but it’s poor quality and they won’t always have something for you. Do this by going to the seamless USGS website. Sorry no DEM fairy, this is all manual work. Windows - cuz its awesome (and cuz 3DEM only works on windows)įirst we need to start by actually downloading the DEMs.
It depends on how much land you would like to mess with. BTW this is not a formal tutorial (I dont like formality) :).Ī DEM is a Digital Elevation Map it is elevation data. There’s a simpler way to do it with Vue, but it’s not free. We will be using DEMs from USGS and Terragen and 3DEM. Many of the tutorials on this are unclear and none of them go into how to get it into Blender. Well, weeks of research and a few bottles of soda later, I got it. Hokay, so people have asked me to do a tutorial on downloading real world terrain (like Mt St Helens or Mt Shasta or you name it) like google has.
