3D heightmaps

These heightmaps were created in Blender. Scroll down to explore.

Data source of all heightmaps in animations and images: GEBCO Compilation Group (2023) GEBCO 2023 Grid (doi:10.5285/f98b053b-0cbc-6c23-e053-6c86abc0af7b) 

The animation shows mountains of Europe. I was amazed, when I saw it, because color ramp of animated bars was perfect to see differences in height - red color shows the highest peaks. You can imagine much more data, presented in this way.

The animation shows Middle East and Southern Europe. One of the most important place in the world. The lands has seen birth and expansion of great countries and empires Egyptians, Phoenicians, Persia, Greeks, Aleksander the Great empire, Romans empire, Byzantium, Arabs, Turks and many others conquered those lands. It has seen birth of many religions, including Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

The animation shows Tearthquakes in 2019, mapped on world height map. Animated in Blender thanks to tutorial of Peter Atwood (https://lnkd.in/deuiVyJD).
