Half Dome Cableway

thingiverse

If you are contemplating a climb of Yosemite's famous Half Dome cableway and wonder just how long and steep it is, this model should answer that question. The model shows the area from the top of the sub dome to the top of Half Dome. If you catch the virtual light just right you can even see a trace of the cableway stantions. If you are looking for a model of the whole mountain check out http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:268845 If you want the whole trail check out http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:201405 I made the model from a ridiculously detailed Lidar dataset available at http://opentopo.sdsc.edu/. We talked about making models like this on the ***3D Printing Today podcast*** available on iTunes, or Stitcher radio learn more at http://www.threedprintingtoday.com/
