A add-on for blender that allows real-time 3D immersion in landscapes produced by GRASS GIS and Tangible Landscape.
Install Blender 2.8 or later and the BlenderGIS addon .
Download and unzip this repository.
Create a folder in the base directory of your computer called TL_coupling. Move the Watch folder from the downloaded repository to the TL_coupling folder. The path to the Watch folder should now be C:\TL_coupling\Watch\**. This is the shared folder that GRASS GIS will write it's output to and Blender will watch for data to render.
**If the watch folder path does not match C:\TL_coupling\Watch\, change the path in the config.json file to the correct.
Open a blank template in Blender 2.8 or later and delete the default cube. Switch to the Scripting layout. Open main.py in the scripting window.
In the upper right hand corner of the rendering window, toggle the viewport shading to Material Preview.
At the beginning of main.py, change the config_file variable to the path to repository. Press the play button. A scene from NC Bald Head Island will render.
