The map can be printed and used for aesthetic purposes
DATA USED
30meter SRTM Digital Elevation Model (DEM) acquired from https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/
SOFTWARE/PLUGIN USED
· QGIS DEMto3D
· Microsoft Phot paint 3D
PROCESSING STAGES
· The data was acquired from https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/.
· The data downloaded was in different tiles, to merge the data together, the data was mosaiced using QGIS raster tool.
· The boundary shapefile of the area was then used to clip out the state.
· The clipped data was set as input data for the tool (DEM23D)
· The scale was set to 1:5000 which automatically set the rest of the parameters, the recommended parameters generated were used to set the space
· The vertical exaggeration level was set to 50m
· The height was set to 1meter
· Then run.
· The output 3D object was opened and colorized using the Microsoft 3D photo paint
CHALLENGES FACED
· Picking the best color
· Setting the best scale and vertical exaggeration
