Love this just ordered my laser and totally going to make this for my daughter of Richmond she did grad school at VCU. Charlottesville person here

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this video! Thank you so much for such great information!

Hey, Garrett+ Kim, here In the UK, thank you so much for this excellent turorial that i think covers all. I use a diffrent process for creating maps, however your aproach to the Ilistrator tutorial etc helped me so much. Thank you

I'm so excited to try making the laser cut map! Can't wait to see how it turns out! 😊

That is so cool! Would make a awesome gift.

Love this, I didn't realize I was so close to you guys. I will have to check you out at a local market or pop up when you do one.

Very interesting idea, thank you for sharing!

If you’re using Inkscape you can modify the water vectors so they cut around land and roads, rather than through. You basically divide the vector and run it parallel to the road rather than through it.

If your using light burn or xtool software just use the shape the square and make a square around it for the cut.

Good tutorial! I was happily following along, but unfortunately it seems like Snazzy Maps no longer allows you to download images for some reason. Not in their FAQ either, which was strange. I ended up just taking a screen shot of my map though, and I was able to vectorize that in Ai.

I was so excited when I first saw this as I've been wanting to do this. But I quickly got lost as I don't have or know Adobe illustrator. Maybe if I watch again on a larger screen I can understand what you're doing. Do you know of any other software that you could do this with? Would ImagR work? Really nicely done!

How did you get the islands in the river in place? Did you eyeball it? I noticed painters tape on the map - was that holding them in place? I made a copy of the islands and pasted them in place on the backer board to be engraved so I know where to place them. I think it should work.

When you are selecting all the one 5:25 color how do you select all the one color and then hide it? Like how do you group them all together (I was selecting each one at a time but didn’t know what to do after that) & then hide it? I wish it was a step by step of it for someone just learning adobe. If I can just get past that part I’d be set! 😩

while nice, this is a wrong representation, not talking about scale or anything like that, but you should have higher layers for houses with the cut to show the streets above it and then, the very lowest point the river cause it is even lower than the streets/land level. Please do try it, it will make a much more interesting model

I dont want to pay for illustrator. I am a beginner but i download seperate maps from snazzy for each layer by turning off geometry as appropriate - then trace in lightburn

$15/hr labor??? $15/hr for laser time??? That's way too low. These should start at $120-150 for the smaller ones.

Doing it regularly, in batches with a reasonably powered laser so the cutting goes quick. The time consuming part is creating the art/setting up the file for cutting, but the good part about that is you only have to set it up the first time- eventually you have a collection of files/projects and don't have to spend as much time on that part. I wouldn't pay what People do for these either, but People do though.
