Craig Taylor-Outlier 2021-3d Geo Data Viz: From Insight to Data Art

3d Geo Data Viz: From Insight to Data Art
Mobility data provides a fascinating insight into how cities function from a transit point of view. Looking at public transport patterns from the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, Craig analyses the ebb and flow of bus service patterns in different cities in relation to various lockdown and stay-at-home orders. The organic pulse this data creates over time results in some fascinating patterns and lends itself perfectly to abstract data-art. Craig also provides insight into a series of visualisations showing how air traffic was affected during the early days of the pandemic over Europe. Craig shows how spatial analysis and 3d visualisation techniques using Houdini can be used to create engaging and beautiful data visualisations.

The Data Visualization Society fosters a community where every member benefits from resources that support growth, refinement, and expansion of data visualization knowledge regardless of expertise level. We have three key objectives:
1️⃣Nurture: Build a cross-functional, tool agnostic community for sharing ideas, learning, and best practices for data visualization design.
2️⃣Celebrate: Amplify and showcase brilliance in data visualization design through conferences, writing, and awards
3️⃣Advance: Raise awareness about the practice of data visualization, collaborate with leaders to set professional standards, and build a more inclusive field.

This is very interesting but I would like to know what softwares are used to create these amazing data visualizations

[@rubengomez8780]

As far as I know Blender can be used to create that kind of visualizations, don’t know much else since I’m only getting started but hope that helps

[@jacekkauch1231]

as I know Craig is using Houdini, bat as mentioned earlier can be also Blender with some extra features.

The digital data visualization is so amazing, like I've been wanting to see more of this and I'm glad I could find these in the video.
Not that it's not amazing enough, just have to show the lego mario to amaze me even more. Great stuff!

[@nazarzaki44]

Great work! Would you show how these visulizations are done in another video?

[@kanewilliams1653]

I'm interested!

[@jmfs3497]

This is very inspiring. I am just now working towards the foundations of 3D data viz. I started in a/v tech support, got into video production, that led to graphic design and 2D animation, and now I am learning Blender and Python. Python is more of a step for me than learning Blender so far.

I would be quite interested to see a simplified visualization that uses the same idea, but applies the gradients to surface deformation. In other words, having a single surface that is being deformed locally based on the activity you are trying to measure. The activity would be like a sphere with a certain size and mass deforming the sheet. Having a single surface would probably result in a very obvious "beat" frequency showing the cyclical nature of the activity quite obviously. I'm imagining here something like how we visualize space-time lattice, except the surface would be mirrored so that the deformation due to activity creates a hill, and not an hole.

id love to pay 500 bucks for a masterclass on this

[@agustinbrusco7173]

this is amazing and inspiring. I hope one day I can do something of a similar quality

[@k4keshaw]

love craig visualization

[@petarkoljensic7823]

this looks amazing! thanks for sharing this insights with us craig

[@ark9255]

👏👏👏

[@pdcoronado]

Posrian hacer tutoriales o me recomendarían un manual para obtener este resultado, por favor

[@worldpeace2688]

these are like the presentations you see in pentagon movies or something

[@HariNair108]

What are the tools used?

[@petercook3911]

Houdini for rendering (and probably custom code for processing the data)

[@claudiadavila3685]

@@petercook3911 thank you!

[@AkshayAradhya]

This is my dream job

[@niceday2015]

Cool

[@worldpeace2688]

you are sick bro. how many hours in starbucks did u use?

[@Landekar]

What?

[@worldpeace2688]

Such an ultra nerd. But a cool one yea
