Lab 4: M 2.1 TINs and DEMs

Lab 4: M 2.1 TINs and DEMs

This week we started our labs on Surfaces. The first one being on TINs and DEMs. 

I was familiar with all the tools used from previous labs. 

We explored the difference between the TINs and DEMs elevation models and all their different attributes. One of the main differences between the two is that DEM looks more natural but TINs is more precise. 

It was interesting going through all the renders possible for the TIN layer. Finding the right combination of colors to show the different slopes, edges, and contours so they don't overwhelm each other was a bit of a task.
