Blender is the workbench where terrain meshes become explorable landscapes. The Python scripts automate the import pipeline: mesh loading, camera setup, landmark annotation, elevation banding, and viewport configuration. What the Scripts Do Script Purpose blender_5_import.py Minimal: import peak mesh, set viewport blender_5_annotated.py Full: import + labeled empties + 3D text + vertex colours blender_5_expanded.py Import expanded valley mesh (larger scene) blender_setup.py Post-import configuration (after manual import) kullu/kullu_blender.py Kullu district with 16 annotated landmarks Landmark Annotations Empties (point objects) mark key features: ...

A digital elevation model is a grid of numbers. A mesh is geometry that can be rotated, lit, textured, and explored. This stage transforms SRTM grids into OBJ meshes with UV-mapped satellite textures — ready for import into Blender or any 3D application.
