3D Nature released the newest technology in 3D terrain visualisation, modelling, rendering and animation software, Visual Nature Studio 3. Through interface enhancements and rendering changes VNS 3 is now able to create better imagery faster than ever before.
The 3D Nature Test Team already experienced significant benefits in real world projects, laying out new roads for the 2010 Canadian Winter Olympics and designing a new golf course in Australia. Proponents developed a visual impact analysis of a wind farm and a new map was published of the Po Valley in Northern Italy.
After completing a client project, Test Team Member Kris Briede said, “Because VNS 3 is GIS-based for data importation, very early design concepts such as rough sketches can be easily brought into the project and any designs can be quickly evaluated, viewsheds can be assessed quickly and realtime interactive files can be created to test design changes.”
Visual Nature Studio 3 includes a significantly expanded Foliage Library for greater location accuracy. All add-ons that work with VNS 2 will continue to work with the new capabilities in VNS 3.

Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.How valuable are our efforts on SDIs if we don’t actively address the human issues? Think about all the government regulations, technical implementation plans, internal processes and procedures, data sharing networks and so on. These are arguably meaningless if there is no buy-in or understanding from the people who must deliver against them.
During the 1Spatial Conference 2008 where there was a large number of presentations on a wide range of important industry topics ranging from data quality, data integration and data maintenance to open source and INSPIRE. But there were very few presentations that focused on the human aspects of our business.… More…
