World population density



A quick and dirty visualization of the world population density. I made this during a discussion on spatial mapping. I used the map below, found at http://www.ethiojps.org/PopulationMaps.html.



I then adjusted it in photoshop so that the color gradient was in a form more to my liking, darks representing low density and lights representing high density.


I brought this bitmap representation into modul8 and used the transformer - patch function in order the achieve the final result. Below is the same effect mapped to a plane.
