Welcome to our in-depth tutorial on crafting breathtaking 3D visualizations using ArcGIS Pro! 🌏✨ In this video, we guide you through every step, making sure you master the art of turning your geospatial data into immersive visuals.
Here's what you'll learn:
Styling Your Raster Data (DEM): We start by showing you how to style your digital elevation model to bring out the best in your maps. You’ll see how to create a hillshade effect that adds depth and realism, making your terrain come alive with sunlight and shadows.
Building a 3D Local Scene: Next, we’ll transform your flat 2D data into a stunning 3D model. We keep it simple but powerful, walking you through the entire process of setting up a local scene that you can explore from every angle.
Creating a Block-Type Model: We wrap up with a demonstration on how to create a block-type model with a mesh overlay. This technique helps you create a visually striking representation that takes your geospatial data to the next level.
BONUS: Downloading SRTM DEM Data from NASA EarthData 🚀
As a special add-on, we’ll also guide you through the process of downloading free digital elevation model (DEM) data from the NASA EarthData portal. This includes:
How to sign up on the EarthData portal.
Specifying your area of interest using shapes like rectangles or polygons.
Selecting the right dataset (SRTM DEM with 30m x 30m resolution).
Downloading DEM tiles in bulk or individually.
Finally, merging these DEM tiles in QGIS to create a seamless elevation model.
👉 All the data used in this tutorial is available for you to download via the links in the description! Follow along and practice as you watch, whether you’re a beginner or a GIS expert.
