  1. Seeing Is Believing • visualizinggeospatial data • with Blender Klaas Dijkstra October 2011

  2. who am I • whythis talk • what is GIS • what is Blender • conclusions / future steps Overview • visualizinggeospatial data with Blender

  3. Klaas Dijkstra • Trafficengineer • GIS data analist at Nokia L&C (NAVTEQ) • Founder/owner of XYZtens.eu Who am I • visualizinggeospatial data with Blender

  4. GIS • Blender • open source • communication • kick-off • your input! Why this talk • visualizinggeospatial data with Blender

  5. GeographicInformationSystem • or • GeographicalInformationScience • or • GeospatialInformationStudies What is GIS • visualizinggeospatial data with Blender

  6. withGIS we describe (a part of) ourrealworld: • streets • a national park • a country • a continent • the world Geographic / Geographical / Geospatial, because • visualizinggeospatial data with Blender

  7. GIS holdsproperties of real-worldobjects: • streets (streetfurniture) • a national park (plant diversity) • a country (demographics) • a continent (riverpollution) • the world(climate/weather) Information, because • visualizinggeospatial data with Blender

  8. GIS • utilizes (Information) Technology • includes geometry tools • create / change / remove • mathematical calculations • includes attributing tools • create / change / remove • mathematical calculations System / Science / Studies, because • visualizinggeospatial data with Blender

  9. GIS under the hood • visualizinggeospatial data with Blender

  10. connects objects’ attributes with their location • connects objects with other objects • simulates the real world • is about finding spatial relations • uses a map as a visual connector GIS • visualizinggeospatial data with Blender

  11. FME (www.safe.com) • Special GIS application, but... • multitude of formats • data-centered • simple mapping functionality SpatialExtract-Transform-Load software • visualizinggeospatial data with Blender

  12. FME • visualizinggeospatial data with Blender

  13. FME Viewer • visualizinggeospatial data with Blender

  14. FME Viewer • visualizinggeospatial data with Blender

  15. FME Viewer demo • visualizinggeospatial data with Blender

  16. http://www.youtube.com/user/FuscoeGIS • visualizinggeospatial data with Blender

  17. 2 D • 3 D • time! (4 D) • reality • open source • IS a visual UI • output IS visual Blender • visualizinggeospatial data with Blender

  18. GIS, to • process a format readable to Blender • Blender, to • make attribution available • bring in interaction (BGE?) • keep coordinate accuracy of original • enable the way back to GIS GIS  Blender: what is needed? • visualizinggeospatial data with Blender

  19. Questions? • Shoot me! Thankyou! • visualizinggeospatial data with Blender

  20. Presentatie in Blender GE • Fly-through / animaties / navigatie • FME  B (2d) • FME  B (3d) • FME  B (3d) VR: tracking • BGE • B  FME

  21. Waarom Blender en geen KML? • Waarom Blender niet via Collada? • 3d, 3d +t, navigation, interaction • Virtual Tours / AugmentedReality • FME transformerEarth • Open source, Python compatibility • Attribution & editing?

  22. About me / myprofession • About GIS: layerapproach, modellingourworld, cartography/presentation, information, calculation, what-ifscenarios; FME, ArcGIS, CAD, etc. • About Blender frommyperspective: art, reality, 3d, time, BGE interactivity • Comparison: open v. proprietary, visualapproach, strongcommunity, Python • Where Blender can help FME: what is needed? • Demos: 2d, 2.5d, 3d, 4d, attribution, editing • Build a stripped down version of Blender • Futuredevelopments

  23. Klaas Dijkstra • Trafficengineer • founder/owner of XYZtens.eu • GIS data analist at Nokia L&C (since 2005)
