Tourism makes a titanic garden of a wilderness. IMO put a safety sign outside, *Deliberately Ill-lit caverns. Realistic faults and traps. 999 of 1000 citizens return alive from our mine to receive cloth badge! Funeral costs covered in full !!*<br /><br />Secondly, I have yet to see an effective mapping technique for the three dimensions. Cavers have symbols and simultaneous vertical and plan views which are no better than Jaquays' flat plans. This is less a problem of artistic rendering than inventive design. I believe a genuine artist could solve the puzzle for once and all if they noticed the problem. It is a problem of engineering and texture.<br /><br />Take for example, 2.5d surface maps, the difficulty of presenting hills and mountains. Compare Tolkien's Misty Mountains on the standard map to the Mountains of Mordor on the Return of the King map, aesthetic vs contour. When mountains are barriers, which they often are, the aesthetic approach is better. The contour design is more accurate but can be less useful for a traveller. The contours do not say "no you shall not pass here" as convincingly as the artistic markings do.Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11165997449776226774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188119851730922397.post-87467387709162295052022-06-16T14:59:02.893+02:002022-06-16T14:59:02.893+02:00Excellent tour.
