Many thanks Xavier! Indeed it is a magical place in all sense. I’ve been there multiple times and I still want to return once again!
The Elevation API is fantastic, well done! It makes life much easier. I will recommend my students to use it next semester. I found a small glitch, when using the export to Sketchfab option the textures are not added to the model, so I did it manually but had to rotate and flip the texture beforehand. I will prepare a tutorial in future for my students with some tips and tricks.
Enjoy the holidays and stay safe!
Very nice setup and place, Doctor ! I went there once, into a mini bus with local people. A woman entered the bus with the melon hat, no shoes, with her daughter going to school, nicely dressed as colegiala with humble shoes. The landscape was beautiful, green, with grass. Felt lost in time, somewhere between desert, jungle and green valleys...
