Here's a visualization of global winds and precipitations on September 1st, 2019 (when [Hurricane Dorian](https://tinyurl.com/y3jewqqt) was hovering over the Bahamas, off the coast of Florida).

* Created in Python (using Matplotlib, NetCDF4, Scipy and Numpy modules)
* Public wind and precipitation data from the [NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis](https://tinyurl.com/y6mfqr6f)
* Wind particles colored according to speed (using Matplotlib "inferno" colormap)
* Rain particles scattered according to the precipitation rate

The seamless-loop effect was achieved by periodically spawning the particles at their initial location on a time range greater than the animation, and subsampling this time range before export. This effect was further enhanced by fading each particle's color to black at their birth and death, and using the "Additive" opacity in Sketchfab material settings to hide black points.

*PS: for Python enthusiasts, I've uploaded a [script to preview point cloud animations locally](https://tinyurl.com/yhyuuqev) !*

The camera pans down and then across the logo, revealing the starry and cloudy blue/purple/orange Los Angeles and Hollywood evening skyline in the distance, before settling into its more customary position and angle. The byline "A NEWS CORPORATION COMPANY" fades in at the bottom of the screen. The structure looks similar to the 1981 logo.

This is the Hardy Tree in [St Pancras Old Church](https://goo.gl/9AiihJ), Camden, London, UK ([OSM](https://goo.gl/ydVXeA)). The tree was reportedly planted by the author Thomas Hardy and the roots are embedded in pile of gravestones. 

![hardy_tree](http://www.estatevaults.com/lm/-Hardy_tree_St_Pancras_London.jpg)

The point cloud is a combination of a RIEGL VZ-400 scan and a ZEB-REVO (to get detail around the gravestones). Scanning done by University College London ([@kungphil](https://twitter.com/kungphil), [@mathiasdisney](https://twitter.com/mathiasdisney), [@UCLgeography](https://twitter.com/UCLgeography)).

This work was funded by the NERC National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO).

Testing out some fake volumetric based on C++ generated noise images...

This does not look really impressive so far, but the technique seems to work fine and I guess that further experiments could only make for some future nicer models !

Note that using transparency planes (3 x 225 in this case!) is quite resource-intensive, and the model might only work fine on desktop.

Fluffy Cloud

A by-product of working with the [OpenData repository of the city of Paris](https://opendata.paris.fr/explore/?sort=modified): here **public lights** (bottom layer, orange-ish) and **trees** (top layer, multicolor).

Both datasets have an information on the objects height, which were superimposed to a Digital Elevation Model of Paris, interpolated in python from [**SRTM** data](https://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/srtm/) (Z-scale overly exagerated). The lights were colored according to their light temperature (available in the dataset), while the 25 most common kinds of trees were colored by species.

The resulting point cloud gives pretty interesting patterns (some of which I've annotated), especially in cemeteries and on the biggest streets. Too bad most of the public parks don't have associated tree data...

And if you don't know it already, I'd definitely advise French speakers to listen at this nicely related song by Maxime Le Forestier: [Comme un arbre](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clDxk0Wh--4).

Trees of Paris

Twelfth-century Water-Moon Guanyin (Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva in the Water-Moon Form), now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

From the sculpture’s description on artsmia.org:

“This form of the bodhisattva presides over his own paradise, Potolaka, which is described in scripture as a rugged seaside cave from which Avalokiteshvara could admire the reflection of the moon in the water. Appropriately, he appears meditative and relaxed and is seated informally in the “royal-ease” posture...Believers might look to a sculpture like this as a guide for their own journeys toward enlightenment.”

Expanded and finished my previous cambodian minecraft build, but can't find an easy way to export the modded blocks. So I tried using the photogrammetry method and made a point cloud scene with 64 ingame screenshots.

&nbsp;

This was also my first time trying out photogrammetry, so sorry if the scan is bad. But I somehow really like the paintery effect atm

BGE Dragon 2.0

Here is a remake of my Dragon with new Textures and some improvements.
I improved the BGE logics so everything works fine in Blender 2.68a.
For an easy animation I have added some custom bone shapes.

Urban heat, pollution, noise, overcrowding are the plight of high density cities. Yet, density in metropolitan areas is also a solution to reduce urban footprint and mobility. High quality public space could make high-density cities a garden of paradise for human and non-human life. This manipulated point cloud model is an absurd, yet tempting reimagination of the streets around Niemeyer's Edifício Copan in Sao Paulo. Instead of busy road traffic, the buildings are immersed in an utopian urban park. In the face of increasing environmental pressures, this type of urban acclimatization landscape is set to become an imperative to ensure urban resilience.

Data source: airborne open LiDAR data of the São Paulo City, collected in 2017, available at http://geosampa.prefeitura.sp.gov.br/

This is a photogrammetry of the remains of the Kannonzaki Battery No. 3 in Yokosuka City, Japan.
The site of a gun battery and the brick tunnel remain in Kannonzaki Park.
Two howitzers were installed in the mortar-shaped turret.

I attached a 20mm prime lens and a clip-on flash to a Sony A1 on a tripod and took 650 photos. The photos were taken on a lightly cloudy day, and the tunnel lighting and de-lighting the outside of the tunnel was done using flash light.

Yet another nice looking pointcloud ;)

Those latest models are just the results of me testing stuff to update and improve a small C++ particle simulations code I previously used to create [this model ("Need some space?")](https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/need-some-space-d6521362b37b48e3a82bce4911409303). 

I've made the code a bit more robust and easier to setup, tweak, and run... And I've just fixed some huge memory leaks and drastically improved its performance, Yipiii !

I inserted a control bones for the easy control of the moving parts as you can see in this animation test video/gif.
