Those are the same links I posted on discord group, hope can be usefull for you guys! ok guys, there is someone who wants to build UK racetracks?Like the ones from BTCC? https://environmentagency.blog.gov.uk/2015/09/18/laser-surveys-light-up-open-data/ here the download link (11tb of data for you guys) http://environment.data.gov.uk/ds/survey/index.jsp#/survey another bunch of free lidar tracks https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TC3ZEGzZtE7Ywmzf2UOlrZRaMbj_BOoIKkJHDtIPSpM/edit#gid=0 another link (europe): http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/
The google docs spreadsheet is mine, documented here: https://forum.studio-397.com/index.php?threads/emerys-public-lidar-database.46623/ Thanks for the Europe link! I'll try to get it compiled into my spreadsheet.
Oh nice to found you here!I was looking for your name on net in order to link the name of the author but you were faster than me!!! Can a mod merge this to original thread?
Think I'll add links inside the spreadsheet to the 3 forums where I update the threads so people can find them.
I'm still trying to get ASC files (which the majority of the UK stuff is in) into a 3d mesh.... LAS / LAZ is fine. I tried to add LIDAR links from this to my "Suggested Tracks" part of my tracks database: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...ecqWBFHbEKDHRBzK6UFbOSvNE/edit#gid=1587338354
Hi Woodee, I posted in Emery's thread how to do it, I'll repeat below with some tweaks to that original post: 1. open Blender 2. download and install the CSV Mesh Importer add-on from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/csv-me-importer/ 3. open the asc file for the area you want in notepad or similar. 4. delete: “ncols 500nrows 500xllcorner650000yllcorner 306000cellsize 2 NODATA_value -9999” for example. 5. save the file with it's current asc or txt extension. 6. in blender go to the scene tab, click Metric and scroll down to the CSV Mesh Importer. 7. Change to Point XY 2D table (matrix), comma and spaces ticked, create vertices and faces and set the cell size for X and Y to the resolution of the LiDAR file : 1 for 1m, 0.5 for 0.5m etc. Leave the Z scale at 1. 8. choose your asc/text under File Path: and click IMPORT, and wait 9. Once it has imported, select the object, press CONTROL & M, and then press Y and ENTER. It imports mirrored incorrectly so the above puts it right. 10. And that’s it! If you import more than one tile, note that there should be a gap between them, 1m for 1m data etc.... (see image below). It's really simple and the results are great to see.
Looks like USGS took down eros and click, their replacement is the national map. https://nationalmap.gov/elevation.html Much of the US is scanned or planned (thanks Obama!), and you can find coverage data here: https://coast.noaa.gov/inventory/
