Turn Any Place on Earth into Wall Art
Today, the focus for Carto Art was with cleaning up the WIP colored hillshading layer. This works by taking the elevation data per tile as input, and then normalizes the elevation values and maps onto a color ramp gradient. Then, this layer gets draped over the map/terrain layer as a custom source, allowing for not only this beautiful view from top-down, but also while viewing in 3D mode with volumetric terrain.
Very happy with how this turned out from an artistic perspective!

Thanks for the heads up!
Hey guys!
I am the developer behind Carto Art, and have been working on it for around a year at this point. This began as a frontend-only prototype inspired by a street vendor selling simple map prints. The realization that a more powerful, customizable tool could bridge the gap between technical GIS data and aesthetic interior decor led to its creation.
Main features:
- Create a map from anywhere in the world
- Select from over 50 different styles
- Volumetric 3D terrain and buildings, making locations such as Salt Lake City, UT and New York City, NY pop out
- Gif exports, via animated camera paths
- Gallery for users to publish their favorite maps
- (Still WIP) STL export of the terrain data for a given location

Working on a new landing page already actually: cartoart.net/new-landing, just need to get the final few image assets. As far as Displate, initially I did have an integration with Printful (similar print-on-demand service), but managing the mockup generation and similar introduced so much overhead that I made the decision to remove it and keep the product a bit more narrow
