These are great. I really enjoy making these, and every time I think I've exhausted the possibilities, I come up with a new geographical feature and color scheme to play around with. Thank you for your TH-cam tutorials!
What a fun tutorial! I love learning new work-arounds to basic ArcGIS concepts, like clipping the raster through exporting like you showed! Looking forward to checking out more of your work.
The diorama is beautiful. Thank you for using ArcGIS Pro. I work as part of the development team that builds and maintains Pro. I and my team are working on a 3D export to STL or glTF tool inside of Pro that would allow you to 3D print or do something more in other 3D tools like Unreal and Unity. We are excited to see what you can create with the tool! Thanks again for using Pro and creating these wonderful maps!
Liquid hot magma complete with some forced contrast🤣 FYI: if you only want to move one of the Bezier curve handles without affecting the position of the other handle, hold down the ctrl key while you move the handle. Excellent as always!
Thanks John. Learned a lot- had no idea about the tracing at 14min!! I think I could add additional elevation layers (e.g. geology) underneath, and trac between those layer edges. Might try extrusions... Been a while since scene days
it's funny what you can get away with by drawing polygons in a layout! yes, in an original one of these things i used it as an illustration of geologic dome weathering, and had a cross-section that i used as the picture fill. have fun!
Great lesson. Thank you for the details. In reality, we don't have all that time to make it look as it does in this video. Plus, I tend to go for simplicity, as DaVinci once stated " Simplicity is the highest form of sophistication"
Thanks John for making such a wonderful tutorial. learning from i tried making 3-4 dioramas. Making graphic polygon of sides is time consuming and i need to make 350 dioramas. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Something like push pull effect of surface, that extrudes terrain surface automatically.
@@JohnNelsonMaps 3D georeferenced Dioramas could also be made in Surfer- Golden Software. However, I wish if you could find time and just create one tutorial, that infuses your superior imagination and creativity skills. That, is also a great learning part. 🥰
Awesome walk through! I may have to try this and see if I can figure out how to create an stl file from it so I can print it out on my 3D printer. Unfortunately, that doesn't carry all the great colors with it though.
Loved the tutorial! My workflow usually ends up doing all these kinds of graphic tweaks in photoshop, so I´ve never noticed the possibilities and resources available in the ArcCGIS layout. Regards from Bogotá-Colombia!
Thank you for this easy to understand tutorial! Do you also have a video so that I can merge all the layout layers together so I can turn my diorama around and make the bottom polygons on the other side as well? So it can be 3D all around?
thanks! this method is a hack, assembled in a layout with graphics manually positioned. this means that the dirt walls aren't geographically aware, so if you rotate the map the dirt walls don't rotate with it. super hacky, but works for a single view.
Could this diorama be used to print out a 3D model? Looks like ArcPro doesn't have any usable export formats that would be compatible with 3D printing companies. Hopefully you or someone else has some insight. Great video by the way! Very easy to follow.
Hi John, huge thanks to ur vids for making learning easier... this was quite the creative use of ArcGIS! Was recommended to ur channel by one Adam Grodek and finding out about ur vids were great, love the chill-ness of everything. Thanks! Also if u happen to watch football (soccer) u do look like this player called 'James Maddison' so yeah take that for what u will HAHAHA
Hi John, I am currently a Master's student doing my research on Erosion and I am wondering if you have a tutorial on how to export this as contour lines or 3D mesh ?
thanks Dadr! yes, layer blends are available starting with version 2.7, which was released a couple years ago. your license lets you update to the newest versions. but i understand sometimes the IT department can prevent installing newest releases.
Thank you for a great video John, however I come across an issue here: when I switch to global scene, the clip doesnt follow along/full extent of the DEM display. What am I missing here?
thanks! i don't know if i fully understand your question. maybe check to see that you have stars and halo uncheched in the 3D map's illumination properties? alternatively, consider making a copy of your clipped DEM and dragging it into the 3D map's "Elevation Services" and uncheck the default one.
One question, I have made these block diagrams in ArcScene and to make the block that you digitize, what I did was create a vector layer that had the same extension of the raster (DEM or satellite imagery) that I was going to use, then I loaded it to arcscene and extruded it in depth with negative values, in this way I would have the complete and dynamic block diagram. Do you know if it is possible to do this in Pro? In the case of wanting to add geometries to those side views, such as a geological section, do you also consider it possible? Thank you very much for your information Jhon. regards
ah cool! i've never used ArcScene, so i'm not much help in this regard. i don't think you can do something similar to what you describe in Pro, but perhaps it's possible?
Hi John, this is a great tutorial! I ran into an issue where I'm using a historical DEM file for a pre-volcanic explosion to compare to the post-volcanic explosion 3D model. The WorldElevation3D automatically provided as the Elevation Surface in the global scene does not accurately depict my "pre-explosion" DEM. Any tips? Thank you very much!
sounds like a cool project! because you are mapping a historical condition you'll have to find a DEM to fit that era. unfortunately i don't know of anything like that, but if you search for it based on your volcano name you might find something.
I was also wondering if you have ever created a borehole data for a 3D model, I have trying to do it but I am missing something and I can’t put my finger on it.
Amazing work as always, instead of adding the same colours and gradients to your gravel images twice, can you copy and paste that will keep the same specifics instead of doing the action twice?
Thank you John! I am attempting to create something similar of my local lake in storymap. Do you have any advice on how to upload this to AGOL as a complete 3D object? Or even export it as a OBJ or FBX file type for storymap? When I google around for this, it seems like the only way is through CityEngine license. I hope to create a 3d scene for viewers to rotate around and inspect.
this method is for a purely static result. because the dirt curtains on the side are hand drawn, they won't rotate with the scene. there are probably ways to make actual 3D downwardly-extruding walls, which will give you more flexibility...but they won't look as good. i've been meaning to look into it.
@@JohnNelsonMaps Thank you for your feedback 🙏. I may attempt this without the gravel curtains. I noticed that Arc Pro sometimes does not allow me to share the web layer with any exaggerated mountain features but will play around with this more. Thanks again John.
@@3runjosh I’m sorry to hear that. Sometimes 3D can get bogged down. I’ve found that closing the project and restarting the computer can help. Also large areas require more processing so a smaller geographic extent could improve performance.
Thanks very much for the video. I am wondering: How to arrange several 3D dioramas above each other. I have four subsurface geological layers with different elevations and thicknesses. I dropped each layer into a 3d scene and gave them vertical exaggerations. However, all layers are presented at the same level. Is there a way to assign levels based on top or bottom layer elevations?
Great video john! I keep running into this issue lately where making an edit or appearance change of any kind in a global scene causes ArcGIS Pro to stop responding. Every other mapping and layout function works fine, and my computer passes the systems requirements test with flying colors. Ever heard of this issue?

Hey, thanks!
This slaps.

How about if we only have points data? Should we change it to raster data (DEM) first?
that's what i would do. using only the raw point spot elevations won't do for this method.
What is the difference between 3D diorama and block diagram? Geology?
probably no difference, it's just a name i thought up. block diagram would have been better probably!
wait, how do you get terrain file?
