3-D VISUALIZATION
Technology has moved planning techniques into the realm of "what
if" scenarios. Through the use of imagery and rendering software,
planners can propose logging scenarios and view them on their desktop.
Virtual logging and virtual re-growth allows for a real-world look
at long term development plans. Rendering can also provide visual
quality analysis, illustrating how much of a proposed cutblock a hiker
or boater can see from a specified vantage point before the block
is even logged.
Aside from forestry-related visual impact assessments, Spatial
Mapping Ltd. also offers 3D design and modeling services for architectural
and civil applications. (Click

PROJECTS
Apollo Forest Products, Fort St James - Spatial Mapping Ltd
has produced numerous visual simulations of proposed cutblocks for
Apollo to help them in gaining cutting permit approval. To date,
we have successfully completed visual impact assessments for more
than a dozen cutting permits for Apollo.
Industrial Forest Services, Prince George - Acting as a
subcontractor to IFS, we have completed visual simulations for several
of their clients, including Canfor Prince George, Slocan Fort Nelson,
Lakeland Mills, and Stuart Lake Lumber. A variety of differing site
applications have been successfully represented in the completed
simulations. We have generated simulated viewpoints based from lakes,
rivers, and even from existing roads.
Slocan Forest Products, Mackenzie - One of the more challenging
simulation jobs Spatial Mapping Ltd has undertaken was one including
several views overlooking W.A.C. Bennett Dam. We were required by
Slocan to produce views reflecting all of the proposed logging activity
included in their five-year development plan.
