Discover the current landscape of 3D data support in QGIS. This talk will present key features for working with 3D map views, terrain data, 3D Tiles, point clouds, vectors and much more.
In the talk, we would like to give a comprehensive overview of what can be achieved with 3D geospatial data in QGIS. The main focus will be on the visualization of geospatial data in 3D scenes, but we would like to cover many topics such as:
- what data types / formats may be used in 3D scenes
- customization of 3D rendering
- measurement tools, elevation profiles and cross sections
- animations and 3D scenes in print layouts
- globe 3D scenes
- vertical coordinate reference systems
- processing algorithms for 3D data
- editing of 3D data in QGIS
- using 3D Tiles
- our recent additions to QGIS 3D project
- brief history of the QGIS 3D project and how development of QGIS 3D gets funded (crowdfunding campaigns, grants, GSoC, ...)
- future plans for QGIS 3D
With a background in computer science and a long-standing interest in maps, Martin has contributed to the QGIS project since 2005. As CTO at Lutra Consulting, he remains dedicated to building the open-source geospatial ecosystem.
