Val di Genova

A 3d model of mountainous terrain showing a sinuous valley with its surrounding peaks. Titled: 'Val di Genova, Parco naturale dell'Adamello-Brenta' credits: 'by:tlohde / Copernicus Global DEM (ESA)' Labelled peaks are: Cima Presanella (3557 m), Monte Mandrone (3283 m), Cima Lancia (2318 m), Crozzon del Diavolo (3018 m), Corno di Lago Scuro (3164 m) & Cimon delle Gere (3016 m)
Val di Genova: Val di Genova, Parco Naturale dell'Adamello-Brenta and selected peaks. Made for day 17 of the 2025 #30DayMapChallenge : a new tool.

projection Orthographic: Isometric (i think?)
tools Python for getting the elevation data; R rayshader for plotting; and Inkscape for title placement
data Elevation data from Copernicus Global DEM (ESA); Peaks from OpenStreetMap
comments My first time using the R rayshader library, to render terrain in 3d. I suspect it's a tool that is easy to learn and hard to master. There are lots of options. This was a workout for my aged laptop, and the DEM is only ~30 m resolution. Knock-outs for the leader lines would be better, and perhaps should have done all the labelling in Inkscape after rendering
