Detroit: Sledding + XC Skiing (Combined Render)

The flagship example — dual colormaps blending sledding and cross-country skiing scores, with roads and parks overlay, rendered at print quality.

Sledding scores (boreal-mako colormap) underlie the terrain. XC skiing scores (mako/rocket overlay) appear near parks. Azurite-colored roads mark major routes. The labeled version identifies specific parks and features.

San Diego: Complete Minimal Example

The recommended starting point — a full terrain pipeline in ~180 lines: download SRTM elevation data, load and transform a DEM, detect water, generate a 3D mesh, and render with professional HDRI lighting.

Elevation mapped with the plasma colormap; San Diego Bay and coastal water detected and highlighted automatically.
