#30DayMapChallenge
Day 28: 3D
Finally! This was the map I was the most excited to try but one that took me the longest (learning rayshader, rendering, manually adding labels 😬).
Big thanks to
@MrPecners
for the tutorial!

So these AI chats are pretty cool.

One thing that's gonna cause some problems tho is that they sound really really convincing while sometimes being extremely extremely wrong

discovered this extremely #obscure #multimedia #edutainment title, called Jean-Michel Cousteau's World: Cities Under the Sea, last year while doing some oceanographic research.

i am still blown away by the simple, perfect #ui elements and charming icons

afaik, these are the only surviving images of the game, which was never archived online. i just ordered a copy, and will be uploading a disc image to the internet archive when it arrives.

now ChatGPT seems really impressive and all but you have to remember that you can be tricked into thinking a rock has feelings by drawing a cute face on it

Founded on a bay surrounded by mountains, the city has clear districts with the most affluent building rising high into the sky on the hillsides. I eventually settled for less muted colours than I experimented with, but with some lovely cool tones contrasting nicely with the reds and pinks of the buildings.

Fascinating how completely uninterested Tesla Guy or any of his circle of Right wing tech plutocrats are in the details of European, Chinese or any other non-American politics. The prophets of global tech look pretty parochial

Mondrian Crescent

I love it when train doors align at the end of a tunnel. The red tiles at Green Park station make this the ideal location to capture this moment.

It wasn't luck though, instead I froze the moving train with a fast shutter. It took ages to get it centred.

This final image resembles an abstract art painting by Piet Mondrian.

Whenever I post digital security or privacy advice, there is always one reply boasting that they assume everything is being watched at all times and nothing is secure. Cool. Good for you. Do you want a fucking medal? Because in the meantime, I'm trying to give actionable advice to people in vulnerable situations trying to live their lives.

Here it is with its bigger brothers on the USGS map of the area.

The 3d print is 1:48000, half of the map scale, and took a little under 2 hours to print.

The smaller cnc cut birch plywood model is 1:24000, same as the map scale. It took about 2 hours to cut.

The larger cnc cut birch plywood model is 1:12000, twice the map scale. It took about 8 hours to cut.

@gkankia liking this… 👍
I experimented with something similar a while back for the road up Alp d’Huez but wasn’t really happy with it… must revisit one day #Blender

All the letters, large and small case. Quartz veins in stone. Molly Montgomery collects natural unedited rocks on the beach creating an alphabet that took her many years...

Giving open ai a prompt like 'Write a three-paragraph essay on primitivism and Chaucer's the Former Age' , or 'death and Sir Orfeo,' or 'madness and Margery Kempe' produces perfectly serviceable B/B+ papers. Totally normie readings, with no sense of tension or danger -- in other words, your average undergraduate paper, with the Up With People Culture that's culturally general to nearly everyone

Open AI is therefore a good benchmark of the automatism of most cultural expression.

Un resum ràpid del mes dels mapes!
Recupero el costum de penjar coses més llargues en un bloc, a veure quant dura.
