Day 23: Process

I used QGIS to create one image per year, and then turned them into an animation using ffmpeg.

The command used here to turn all the .png of the folder into one video:

ffmpeg -pattern_type glob -framerate 2 -i "*.png" -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mp4

#30daymapchallenge | Day 22 Data: Natural Earth | The Great Islands

Earlier this summer I finished this print version of my map from last year depicting our Great Lakes as islands. Been trying to learn more about lighting techniques in Blender—I think this was a big leap forward from 2024 version!
