Day 6 - 'Dimensions' #30DayMapChallenge

A comparison of the dimensions of the Great Pyramid with Edinburgh
It's easier to visualise the size of something when you can compare it to something you see every day :)

A camera slowly circles around a 3d model of Edinburgh City centre, specifically the Old Town and castle. A semi-transparent golden outline shows the size of the pyramid compared to that of Castle Rock

This version uses an Orthographic camera.

Unlike perspective, there is no foreshortening (things the same size appear the same size, even when further away)

Did this to check sizes. For example, to verify the pyramid is about twice the height of the Hub (the tall church just downhill from the Castle)
