The palette goes through various shades with full 255 values for Red, Green, and then Blue successively, varying the other shades. NLCD (National Land Cover Database) Palette for the USGS National Land Cover Database. Sped up load of large GeoTIFF DEM files that have an.aux.xml file with the valid min/max elevation range. 14.2: Corrected.

Blender can use tiff images, not sure if geotiff works to but it should work too. Otherwise you had to convert the geotiff to a png or jpg first. Add a plane (same aspect ratio like your image). Go to the modifier tab and add a Subdivision Surface modifier. Set it to Simple. Add 3 or 4 subdivisions and apply the modifier.

Add again a Subdivision Surface modifier to control the resolution of your mesh later. Next add a Displace modifier and add a new Image or Movie texture there.

With the rightmost icon you can switch over to the texture tab, load your image and give your texture a name etc. Back in the modifier tab you can play with the values a bit ( Strenght 0.2 for example). You could add the Decimate modifier to simplify your geometry - just play with the values, Collapse mode should give good results for terrain models. Here I found a tutorial wich covers also the geotiff conversion (under 'Create Heightmap') sorry link is dead now. $ begingroup$ Blender is not a GIS application so don't expect automatic solutions. Geotiff is not a Digital Elevation Model per se, it contains the georeferencing information: coordinates and projection, data can then be used to position the image in the correct location and geometry on the screen of a geographic information display. Blender knows not how to read any of that, so you'll have to deform the image plane using your own understanding of the geometry and projection values.

$ endgroup$ – Sep 19 '15 at 18:36 •. I think you're looking for a set of Blender addons called. See the for a full feature list, but the suite author seems to be focused on accuracy and the tools are able to handle arbitrary rasters, DEM and other point cloud data, Delaunay/voronoi triangulation from a variety of sources, and has tools to assist building geometry accurately from topo maps. I haven't used it much, but the documentation is thorough enough, being a work in progress.

It has been developed for over 2 years, by one person and is still actively maintained. Perhaps you can lend a hand with the project?
