Rayshader Tutorial—Florida Population Density

This is a live-coding tutorial that walks through how to create a 3D population density map in R using the rayshader package. The example uses Kontur Population data for the state of Florida.

Code from this tutorial is available here: https://github.com/Pecners/kontur_ray...

NOTE: Before starting, I recommend you install the latest dev versions of rayshader and rayrender to avoid an error that many people are encountering when coding along with this video. Install with the following code:

remotes::install_github("https://github.com/tylermorganwall/ra...")
remotes::install_github("https://github.com/tylermorganwall/ra...")

This is the error that is thrown: "Error in rayrender::obj_model(cache_filename, x = -bbox_center[1], y = -bbox_center[2], : unused argument (texture = TRUE)"
