Pretty Paper (Mario) Maps quickly done with QGIS and Aerialod.

OSM data offers a vast amount of information about our cities. In this guide I focus on working and styling OSM building data for 3D-modeling in Aerialod for close-to-reality models.

Tl;dr: Use OSM building levels, emulate roofs with shapeburst effect and use Sketchfab for interactive 3D models

There are few cities providing open source LIDAR data for 3D-modeling. However, leveraging OSM building, road and landuse data gives you neat city models in no time!

Creating 3D models from raster or vector data has never been that easy! This tutorial takes you through the whole process from vector/raster data to 3D in just 3 steps.

Setting up proper port forwarding for SSH connections, servers or just test purposes is crucial but isn't as straight forward as your connection should be. This post aims to be a quick guide for different use cases.
