Welcome, map friends, to part 2 of guest blogger and production cartographer Spyridon Staridas<\/a>‘s brilliant hack to make your map look like an actual for-realz folded thing! When I say map friends, I mean it. I know Spyridon only virtually, through his sharing of work and workflows. And I’ve benefitted much from it. He’s an example of the generosity and collaborative spirit I see in our wonderful field. Thank you, Spyridon!<\/em>

…<\/p>\n

What first inspired me to start researching all this was the need to photoshoot my maps<\/a> for the portfolio section of my new website (which is under the \u201ccoming soon\u201d state for a very long time, but this is another story).<\/p>\n

At first, I was contacting photographers, explaining my needs and asking for their offers and stuff like that. But a lot of things worried me, like whether the outcome would be good for a map portfolio, or what if I change my mind and I want another perspective of that map or the other, etc. I couldn\u2019t decide how to proceed, not to mention a couple of unsuccessful attempts to picture these maps myself with my phone (a complete disaster).<\/p>\n

I was thinking there must exist another way. I knew I could find a way to simulate an oblique realistic view of a studio photographed map<\/a>, like a mockup. I started searching the internet for alternative solutions, mostly by looking for tutorials for Photoshop or Illustrator, which – to my surprise – were a lot out there, all of them showing, more or less, a similar process on how to produce such a mockup. Reading\/watching these made me wonder whether I could apply these techniques in ArcGIS Pro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So after lots of late nights and tens of hours in front of my computer, I managed to simulate the folds, the shades and a realistic oblique view of a real paper map, reaching a satisfactory result (I think). In the following paragraphs I will demonstrate the process that I have adopted so far, which of course is subject to improvement.<\/p>\n

Simulate the third dimension<\/h2>\n

I continue narrating from the point my previous post \u201cDigital map folding<\/a>\u201d ended. So, I have already created the grid polygon feature layer, which simulates the folds, and I have rendered it with my standard ArcGIS Pro style<\/a> and I am sitting (un)comfortably staring at my screen.<\/p>\n

OK, it looks realistic, but why only produce a top view. If I had given a map to a professional photographer, they would take it to their studio and they would probably shoot a number of oblique aspects<\/a>, not just the top view. I need to find a way to simulate this.<\/p>\n

I know that the Scene View in ArcGIS Pro<\/a> offers an awful lot of possibilities, provided I feed it with the proper elevation surface<\/a>. But how can I produce such an elevation source?<\/p>\n

Understanding the folds\u2019 vertices<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s dig in. In ArcGIS Pro I open the Map View of the map I have been working so far and I add once again this super handy grid polygon feature layer, which simulates the folds.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1057261,"id":1057261,"title":"A","filename":"A-1-scaled.jpg","filesize":179032,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/A-1-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/mapping\/digital-map-folding-part-2-3d\/a-5","alt":"","author":"6971","description":"","caption":"","name":"a-5","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1057181,"date":"2020-11-06 17:01:30","modified":"2020-11-06 17:01:30","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":1359,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/A-1-213x200.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/A-1-scaled.jpg","medium-width":464,"medium-height":246,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/A-1-scaled.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":408,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/A-1-scaled.jpg","large-width":1920,"large-height":1019,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/A-1-1536x815.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":815,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/A-1-2048x1087.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1087,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/A-1-826x438.jpg","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":438,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/A-1-1920x1019.jpg","wide_image-width":1920,"wide_image-height":1019}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/A-1-scaled.jpg"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1057301,"id":1057301,"title":"B","filename":"B-1-scaled.jpg","filesize":168046,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/B-1-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/mapping\/digital-map-folding-part-2-3d\/b-5","alt":"","author":"6971","description":"","caption":"","name":"b-5","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1057181,"date":"2020-11-06 17:04:05","modified":"2020-11-06 17:04:05","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":1359,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/B-1-213x200.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/B-1-scaled.jpg","medium-width":464,"medium-height":246,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/B-1-scaled.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":408,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/B-1-scaled.jpg","large-width":1920,"large-height":1019,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/B-1-1536x815.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":815,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/B-1-2048x1087.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1087,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/B-1-826x438.jpg","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":438,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/B-1-1920x1019.jpg","wide_image-width":1920,"wide_image-height":1019}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/B-1-scaled.jpg"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

What I observe here is that some vertices look like they pop out of the map, while others look like they dive into the map. A point feature layer with these vertices and some appropriate elevation values could produce an elevation surface for the Scene View.<\/p>\n

Creating the folds\u2019 vertices<\/h2>\n

If you happen to possess an Advanced ArcGIS Pro license, then you may use the Feature Vertices To Points<\/a> tool to create the desired layer. Since I only have a Basic license, I will manually create it. So I create a new point feature layer with the Create Feature Class<\/a> tool and I create a new attribute field to store the elevation values.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1057341,"id":1057341,"title":"D","filename":"D-1-scaled.jpg","filesize":243020,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/D-1-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/mapping\/digital-map-folding-part-2-3d\/d-5","alt":"","author":"6971","description":"","caption":"","name":"d-5","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1057181,"date":"2020-11-06 17:07:33","modified":"2020-11-06 17:07:33","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":1359,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/D-1-213x200.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/D-1-scaled.jpg","medium-width":464,"medium-height":246,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/D-1-scaled.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":408,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/D-1-scaled.jpg","large-width":1920,"large-height":1019,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/D-1-1536x815.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":815,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/D-1-2048x1087.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1087,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/D-1-826x438.jpg","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":438,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/D-1-1920x1019.jpg","wide_image-width":1920,"wide_image-height":1019}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/D-1-scaled.jpg"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Assign elevation attributes to vertices<\/h2>\n

The next step is to group the vertices by those that pop out<\/em> of the map and to those that dive into<\/em> the map.

The values -200\/200 are subjective. They actually represent the distance of the vertex from the horizontal plane. In other words, if I unfold a paper map and spread it on a table in a way that its entire surface touches the table, these values trend to zero. You might need a little trial and error to find the most suitable values for your own case.<\/p>\n

Creating the Elevation Source<\/h2>\n

ArcGIS Pro Scene View allows a number of different Elevation Sources. So I can produce one by interpolation of the point feature layer, which I created at the previous steps.<\/p>\n

Again, there are a number of ways to do this. Provided you have a Spatial Analyst or a 3D Analyst Extension, you may simply create a TIN surface, or interpolate with IDW or Spline or any other method. Each option will produce a different result so you might need to experiment a bit. The outcome elevation raster should be something like the one at the following picture.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1057411,"id":1057411,"title":"I","filename":"I-1-scaled.jpg","filesize":197873,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/I-1-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/mapping\/digital-map-folding-part-2-3d\/i-2","alt":"","author":"6971","description":"","caption":"","name":"i-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1057181,"date":"2020-11-06 17:15:39","modified":"2020-11-06 17:15:39","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":1359,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/I-1-213x200.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/I-1-scaled.jpg","medium-width":464,"medium-height":246,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/I-1-scaled.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":408,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/I-1-scaled.jpg","large-width":1920,"large-height":1019,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/I-1-1536x815.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":815,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/I-1-2048x1087.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1087,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/I-1-826x438.jpg","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":438,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/I-1-1920x1019.jpg","wide_image-width":1920,"wide_image-height":1019}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/I-1-scaled.jpg"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Many thanks, Spyridon, for sharing this process with us! While some reading this might think this is a purely artistic process, every one of these steps has practical applications for everyday mapping. Spyridon has tricked us into learning pragmatic GIS skills disguised as fun! If you missed part 1<\/a>, be sure to double-back and check that out. And if you apply these lessons to your own map, we’d love to see them so share the results in the comments!<\/em><\/p>\n"}],"authors":[{"ID":6971,"user_firstname":"John","user_lastname":"Nelson","nickname":"John Nelson","user_nicename":"j_nelson","display_name":"John Nelson","user_email":"John_Nelson@esri.com","user_url":"http:\/\/www.adventuresinmapping.com","user_registered":"2018-03-02 00:19:05","user_description":"I have far too much fun looking for ways to understand and present data visually, hopefully driving product strategy and engaging users.
