[Qgis-user] Using 3D map views with python console or in an atlas

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

Ryan,

Probably not what you were exactly looking for, but we’ve done something like this with MapServer and ffmpeg.  the combination of these two pieces of software let you generate all sorts of things as you describe.

Here are some sample outputs:

Note: Wait for this one, it’s a recording of 24hr of use of a map service.  It’s short, but doesn’t show much until 6-7 am.  It starts at midnight and chnages over the course of the day.

Hi,

We have made some videos using frames exported from a 3D map view.
We are not able to use the animation function within the 3D map as our camera is static and we are changing the visibility preset between each frame to load in a different time step.

Are any of the 3D map view capabilities exposed and useable from the QGIS python console? From some Google searches I could not find any discussion or documentation on the topic.
Our preferred workflow would be to be able to use the 3D map within an atlas so that we can add text and other items to the view (we are post processing the images to add this), however it does not appear that 3D views can be used with data defined overrides at this time.

Any direction you can provide would be appreciated as it is quite a manual process to export a reasonable number of frames to stitch together into a video.

Regards,
Ryan
