We will be running a workshop at FOSS4G 2022 Firenze, where you can learn more about making beautiful hillshades in QGIS: QGIS & MapTiler Workshop.Īs one of the sponsors of FOSS4G we also have a stand there. Master QGIS Hillshading Techniques at FOSS4G 2022 Use the same drop-down menu on the styling panel as you did with hillshading to change the rendering. You can use it for contours as well using the contour renderer. Terrain RGB does not provide only great hillshading. Not only do these layers look better than ever, you can modify the hillshading element to boost the effect or make it more subtle depending on how you want your map to look. The Outdoor and Winter layers available in the Plugin also benefit from the new hillshading. Early resampling: tick - ensures the effect doesn’t pixelate as you zoom in.Brightness and Contrast: Adjust them up to suit your layers.Blending mode: Multiply - to add light and shadows without hiding the other layers.Multidirectional: tick - to make a much more realistic hillshade.I recommend using the following settings to make the landforms stand out: Hillshading can be found in the styling panel for terrain layers, just use the dropdown menu to change from the default Singleband to Hillshading. The data has a 30m resolution, and with the early resampling now available from MapTiler’s collaboration with Lutra Consulting you can now zoom in without the pixelation that occurred in earlier versions of QGIS.Īdd the Terrain RGB layer to any map in QGIS and use the Hillshading renderer to make the landscape appear on your map. Hillshades made with the plugin look great for whole mountain ranges but are detailed enough to pick out gorges and volcanic craters.
