Neat mapping tool

I've been lacking inspiration for designing levels for games so picked up a tool that cross grabs SRTM data. Shuttle Radar Topography Mission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here's a generated version of mount ranier:

I had to reduce quality of the textures because I got blacklisted for consuming too much bandwidth for a while.



Here are 2 picks of mongolia:

Baja California:

Here's a pick of manhattan with auto generated buildings:

Kinda neat for being completely automated. I plan to redo the textures in photoshop with my own textures (cartoony) for a kids game.

It's a plugin for Unity game engine that costs $90.

Here's a model of south africa comprised of 25 different segments and 25 textures that are seamless. You can specify even more if you want to break it up into tiny pieces to cull from the camera when not in view.

and from other side:

I have some prefab plane controllers I can throw anyone interested who wants to make a flight sim also another script to export them as .obj so I can reduce poly in blender.

I always liked these kinds of models. Never had a way to apply or use the like - but always liked looking at them.
