Tolkien Style Maps in a GIS: part 4, Assembly

Описание к видео Tolkien Style Maps in a GIS: part 4, Assembly

"There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for."

In this 4-part series we'll walk through the reckoning of a Lord of the Rings style fantasy map, right in ArcGIS Pro. We map-makers get to breathe honest to goodness geographic life into the seminal aesthetic found in the LOTR cartography, and I think that's a bit of magic just waiting around for us to wield.

The map drawn by Christopher Tolkien for his father's book is a simple and beautiful reference, traced by many fingers over the decades and soaked up by many an imagination. Myself included. Here's how you can assemble your own fantasy-style map, with real geographic data, inspired by this seminal Lord of the Rings cartography.
