If you want a higher res version of the Mount St. Helens patent map, you can get it here: drive.google.com/file/d/1dtHw... #pnw #mountsthelens #arcgispro #b3d

1/2 I was thinking of using patent application style call-out arrows in a map, when I thought "just make a patent application map". Patent date is the day Mount St. Helens was made a National Volcanic Monument. I'm sure you can figure out the patent #. #pnw #mountsainthelens

Should also add the tags #arcgispro #b3d #photoshop

2/2 If you plan on producing your own stratovolcano, please be sure your subduction zone creates it in such a way it is legally distinct from my patent, or I may have to sue for IP infringement. Here a shot of it in the 3D software before I rendered and labeled it.

1/2 Most F1 maps seem to be of centerlines of the track, but I wanted to try to get the actual track shape/width in a polygon (along with the pit lane) and the unique decorations at the track. #F1 #ArcGISPro #Blender #Illustrator #CircuitOfTheAmericas

2/2 Maybe a little too simple, though. I feel like there's too much empty space, but if I do more, I want them all to be square. Now off to see if I can make this a multicolor 3D print.

Got a request for New Zealand. Hope you don't mind only having the North and South Islands in and not the smaller ones. Average elevation for the hexes then the real elevation added back in. #NewZealand #arcgispro #b3d #hexagonsarebestagons

22 Apr 2025

I thought I would try it with bathymetry in. So I just ramped a GEBCO raster I have.

22 Apr 2025

Working on another hex request.

21 Apr 2025

A follower on Instagram wanted to see what Canada would look like if I gave it same hex treatment as the US. Each hex is assigned the average elevation of the area it's over and then the real elevation is added back in. #canada #hexagon #arcgispro #b3d

19 Apr 2025

Trying to make a decent STL of a flat hex of the US.

18 Apr 2025

I was adding the avg z to the hex map, but then I thought…I wonder what it would look like if I wrote an ArcPy script to randomly distribute random sized overlapping squares over the US and give each of those the z mean of the area they fall over. #arcgispro #arcpy #b3d

18 Apr 2025

Square generation was constrained to a continental US border shapefile, and sizes were constrained by an upper and lower area in square kilometers.

16 Apr 2025

Each hex is keyed to the max Z value in US elevation it's over. I'm doing another on where they are given the average elevation value instead of max to see how it comes out. #arcgispro #b3d
