I also meant to post the global version of my #hex shark map for yesterday's (day 25) #30DayMapChallenge. Made with #mapbox

#30DayMapChallenge Day 25: Hexagons

A little 3d hexmap of the bluntnose sixgill shark - aka Hexanchus griseus - and the largest hexanchoid shark.

Made in #qgis and #b3d with data from gbif

[Sam J @samwise_v]

Yellow probably wasn't the best colour choice, but well it was part of my theme.

Anyway link to the tutorial that i used:

#30DayMapChallenge Day 20: Water

Been meaning to attempt a relative elevation model for a while now, so had a first stab using the tutorial by Dan Coe.

Wishkah River, Washington. Strongly associated with one of my favourite bands of course.

Made in #qgis

[Sam J @samwise_v]

the video conversion on X wasn't great, so some still images too

#30DayMapChallenge Day 18: Out of this World

Not quite what I originally set out to achieve, but nonetheless some sort of map celebrating the #Predator movie (1987)

[Sam J @samwise_v]

Inspired by this movie poster which i had initially wanted to recreate but couldnt find the time.

(I have used mapbox gl js before, but this month I have been using v3 for the first time - with its new features eg 3d models and dynamic lighting)

[Sam J @samwise_v]

#30DayMapChallenge Day 16: Cell | Day 17: New tool

Playing around with some of the #mapbox gl js light settings on the BT Tower in Birmingham

[Sam J @samwise_v]

@fenteman @OrdnanceSurvey Apologies. I could not fit all labels, but it should still be represented by orange dot.

[Sam J @samwise_v]

#30DayMapChallenge Day 15 – Fire.

I am still catching up so another simple one here. Place names in GB that begin with or end with 'burn'. Based on @OrdnanceSurvey #zoomstack data, made in #qgis.

[Sam J @samwise_v]

A clearer clip of the original render before the 80s VHS style effects were added.

#30DayMapChallenge Day 12 — Map from 2125

Recovered transmission from the USCSS Nostromo - lost in space three years ago - reveals the vessel’s final destination before loss of contact

Made in #QGIS and #Blender, digitised from graphics seen in the #Alien movie (1979)

[Sam J @samwise_v]

the original graphic I attempted to digitise in order to create a DEM. taken from https://t.co/gkGnyal2ME

#30DayMapChallenge Day 13: A ten minute map and Day 14: OpenStreetMap

A quick map of Budapest. Actually took a lot less than 10 minutes using
@anvaka's city generator available at https://t.co/3gPs8RzdJG which is based on OpenStreetMap data

[Sam J @samwise_v]

#30DayMapChallenge Day 10: Air and Day 11: Minimal

I fell behind so playing catchup, with a #joyplot map of air particulate matter based on data downloaded from NASA Earthdata. Made in #qgis.
