I am not perfect, my wife will tell you that in abundance and yesterday I realised just how rubbish I am….I was sent a LiDAR capture of some woods and no matter what I did, it wouldn’t render in the right place. I knew the cloud was captured in EPSG 27700 (British National Grid) using […]

Creating a Cesium virtual globe with v1.36
As blogs come, this has to be (for me) one of the longest.

GIS Tips – Think about how you are going to present it
A map’s a map right? You get the data and you make everyone happy with a nice map….not always. Chatting the other day to a colleague and they don’t like using 3D, the justification was that there isn’t any reason to, which (as you’ve already guessed) got me a little wound up. So, I thought […]
ArcGIS 3D Web Maps – CityEngine Web Scenes
How often have you put a visualisation together and had to consider data provision as your first priority or created a work of art which then needs to be bundled onto a harddrive or disk to send to a client? I am relatively new to 3D visualisation and I’ve had to completely rethink a few […]
