Stipple of a hillshade of Tahoma.

The point placing algorithm is freely adapted from @BartWronski’s version of Ahmed, Ren, and Wonka’s stippling: bartwronski.com/2022/08/31/pro

The data is from the WA lidar portal: lidarportal.dnr.wa.gov/

The hillshade is a mean of 1,000 angles from which the sun actually illuminates Tahoma over the year. (None of that top-left stuff for me, thanks.)

@vruba this is lovely. Makes me want to model the points as little spheres (on a plane? Floating according to height? IDK, it just invites play.)

@hans Yes! I also wonder about adjusting it with simulated annealing. I’m sure someone’s already tried that in the literature, but why not try again?
