Using DEFRA LiDAR in 3dsMax

In this short tutorial I outline how to use the LiDAR provided by the UK’s DEFRA (only available for the UK) and use it to create a mesh terrain in 3dsMax which is useful for architectural visualisation and landscape visualisation.

This tutorial is Part 1 of a 2 part series – look out for the next tutorial that will cover the next steps of using Blender to create a terrain as well as satellite imagery.
