Natural shadow modelling for digital elevation models (DEMs) in QGIS - IntroductionQGIS is the most widely used open source software for cartography and spatial analysis (see on QGIS.org). We can make nice maps with QGIS – but not the beautiful ones. Cartographers turn frequently to software such as Photoshop or Blender (for 3D modelling) in order to produce that wow effect…This project aims to implement a novel shading algorithm in QGIS, which will enable us to produce realistic and humanly readable terrain maps. We do have so-called hillshade algorithms in there, but these are n ...

We do have so-called hillshade algorithms in there, but these are not able to render natural shadows. As a result, our maps often have that ugly aluminium foil effect (Figure below). Nothing can beat true shadows, they make our eyes and our brain happy when looking at a map. Dalmatian coast (Croatia)My algorithm is specifi
