Mapping DEM Data in Maxon Cinema 4D

“Create 3d geometry from USGS DEM data in Cinema 4D. Overlay the landmark model with a high resolution contour map to create a dynamic three-dimensional map.

Using USGS GIS (Geographic Information Systems) data, we will convert DEM (Digital Elevation Model) data into 3d geometry in Cinema 4D for a landmark of your choice.  The DEM model will then be textured with a DRG (Digital Raster Graphic) to produce a high quality contour map. 

Mograph will be used along with other free plugins to create a marker path along the geometry.  The final animation will be taken to Adobe After Effects to add depth of field and apply color correction.” – Kevin Snyder
