All of these programs use basically the same algorithm, and you get a pretty similar results, as seen below. Most of the cartographers I know do their shaded relief in ArcMap or another GIS program, or sometimes they use Photoshop or Natural Scene Designer. Why Blender? In short: Blender makes better-looking relief. Version 1.0 (Nov 16, 2017) - Initial release of text version. Both of these tips are courtesy of Dunstan Orchard. Version 1.1 (Jan 29, 2018) - Changes to Chapter 6: Added section on denoising, and alterered render settings to suggest using Limited Global Illumination. Version 1.2 (May 14, 2018) - Added new section in Chapter 7, pointing readers toward the idea of rendering relief on a pre-colored plane. Thanks to Diane Fritz for her notes on changes, which helped me double-check my work. Removed some no-longer-needed material, such as UV unwrapping, are no longer needed. Many steps rewritten to reflect new interface elements and new names for tools/features/menu items. All screenshots replaced to reflect the new UI. Version 2.0 (Sep 29, 2019) - Major revision for Blender 2.80. Version 2.1 (Oct 30, 2019) - Added step in Chapter 6 to change the heightmap’s color space, to avoid lowlands being washed out. Denoising is now default, so I adjusted that section and removed a good chunk of it.
Discussed render performance earlier (as it bogged down for me earlier in the process).
