My contribution (labels and coloring) is MIT. Render to tiles for Google Maps-like site, using Leaflet - try vector map tiles and mapboxGL? include search index.Get access to 40k x 40k DEM (50m/px) version.Switch easily between colorful and minimal color versions - how do?.Explain QGIS and pull requests for shapefile data in readme.Make map views for The Lord of the Rings corresponding to travels.Make map views for the Hobbit (overview, The Shire, Eriador, Misty Mountains, Mirkwood).Add river sizes in meters and render widths accordingly.This builds a ~100MB TIFF file in a temp folder so is not included in the repo. Then adjust the global opacity of the layer to 50% - Layer Styling sidebar / Transparency / Global Opacity. Installingīuild the hillshade layer - Raster / Analysis / Hillshade - enter a z-factor of 100.0 and click Run. This is currently slightly off - improvements could be made. The file data/rasters/10K.wld defines how the DEM corresponds to the map coordinate system as used by the vector data. The entire map covers 2000km on each axis, so the resolution of the DEM is 200m/px. On Tolkien’s map, the Anduin bends toward the sea in a shape similar to. I added the curved Tolkienesque labels and colored the different elevations. Consider Anduin, the Great River of Middle-earth, in whose waters the One Ring was lost for more than two thousand years. The vector data includes place names, rivers, forests, mountains - made by monks, SeerBlue, and Redrobes, and maintained by jvangeld here. Somewhere they also have a 40k x 40k DEM (50m/px) version. The process apparently included some real-world 3d elevation data, hand-editing, and simulated erosion. The DEM is stored in a 10k x 10k jpg file, made by monks and Redrobes on the Outerra Worlds Forum. Use as detailed maps for Adventures in Middle Earth (D&D 5e) games.Make name placement and size similar to Tolkien's maps.
