Maps like 3D prints - II

 Part I  used  Ice Mountain Hillshade , & author John Nelson showed ArcGIS Desktop new  Blend Mode  to achieve much of the same out-of-the-box. He used Esri multi-resolution Terrain and Imagery, but a  tweet  had me try even better DEFRA  2 m. DTM  I shown  here .

Update: following on another John Nelson post, see the 2.5D Map psoter at the bottom.

That tweet photo showed a perspective view, so that led me to try various options displayed in this poster: note that these are screen shots from ArcGIS Pro desktop. And that the holes denote the incomplete coverage of DEFRA data, also seen in maps below.

This was also posted as web scenes, where Blend Mode isn't honoured yet, so here are the Esri World Imagery with DEFRA 2m. DTM at 75% transparency: Go ahead and fly around!

Blend mode was shown in maps for Part I, so this poster shows variations, again from desktop screenshots:

Here it is as a 2D web map, where the 2 m. resolution DTM show the detailed topography "through" the imagery in blend mode. And here I combined Ice Hillshade and DEFRA DTM in dual blend modes to achieve an even better rendering effect. Zoom and pan around!

Note that there is minor cloud cover, and 'faded' topography denotes the incomplete coverage of DEFRA data in 2019, with complete coverage planned for next year.

Here's an update from John Nelson's How to make this 2.5D Map  video  or  text  on  Coastal DEM 2.1  free tier data for the surrounding area of Cumbria:
