3D landscape visualisation is increasingly used in spatial sciences and planning. Currently available visualisation tools permit creating highly realistic representations of landscapes based on geodata, such as digital elevation models, aerial photographs, or remote-sensing data. However, in contrast to traditional 2D representations, photorealistic 3D landscape visualisations offer a higher degree of visual clarity, thus contributing to a better understanding of spatial structures and processes and promoting visual thinking. Photorealistic landscape visualisations can be generated with the aid of either pure landscape-rendering systems, which usually do not support interactivity, or real-time visualisation environments. This paper presents selected examples of 3D and 4D landscape visualisations and discusses the properties and applications of a 3D real-time visualisation environment developed at the Department of Physical Geography of Kiel CAU.
