Shadow Analysis Using Mapbox, Unity and OpenStreetMap
sur James Fee GIS Blog

We’ve been pushing along with our latest release of Smart World Professional, and we’ve got some elegant tools coming online that will showcase why we went the route we did. One of the biggest requests from the AEC industry is Shadow/Solar analysis. There are tons of tools that do this, but they can be expensive, hard to use and even hard to get data for. That’s why I really like the Mapbox Unity SDK and its 3D buildings.

You can, of course, load your own buildings into Smart World Professional but this is a great way to see how your projects will impact the surrounding city out of the box with our tools. The Unity SDK really shines with this kind of work.

It is estimated that 88% of the world's population lives north of the equator. One reason for this fact could be that there is more landmass north of the equator and more water south of the equator.
