ArchoPlanet

Architectural project for urban visualisation and analysis based on:
Blender - 3D modelling tool
Openstreetmap.org - cartographic data
NASA SRTM - topographic data

How to use:

1. Download and unpack the folder somewhere:
   https://github.com/snovvfall/ArchoPlanet/archive/master.zip

2. Download and install Blender if you don't have it yet
   Official website is blender.org

3. Launch ArchoPlanet.blend

4. In the bottom half of the window you will see a text with parameters you can tweak
   It you want to use 'Srtm' or 'Osm and Srtm' mode you need to download file with desired coordinates from here: http://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/version2_1/SRTM3/

5. Hit "Run script" button located just above the parameters, usually near the center of the screen
   The process may require several minutes

6. If you used 'Srtm' or 'Osm and Srtm' mode you will likely see big strange objects after the process finishes, remove them
   This problem will be fixed in the future
   If you are new to Blender, hover the mouse somewhere over top half of the window
   Press mouse wheel and move the mouse to rotate view
   Press mouse wheel and Shift to pan the view
   Press 'Z' keyboard button to see through all objects
   Press 'A' until orange color is gone to deselect all objects
   Press 'B', press left mouse button, move rectangle so it covers strange big objects and hit left mouse button again to select them
   Press Delete or 'X' to remove selected objects

For developers:
To run it in the console under Linux or MacOS X you may need to go to ArchoPlanet directory with 'cd' command and launch the main file,
for example: cd /home/username/ArchoPlanet && blender ./ArchoPlanet.blend
