Description:
Uses a combination of raytracing and multiple hill shading methods to produce 2D and 3D data visualizations and maps. Includes water detection and layering functions, programmable color palette generation, several built-in textures for hill shading, 2D and 3D plotting options, a built-in path tracer, 'Wavefront' OBJ file export, and the ability to save 3D visualizations to a 3D printable format.
