GRASS pre-processing

 # C/O  Markus Neteler
# modified by Dylan Beaudette for UTM projections

#GRASS procedures:

# Note that elevation and overlay must be the same size (dx, dy)

# set the region:
g.region res=4

# dem export cubic-resample from 10m to 4m resolution:
r.resamp.interp method=cubic in=elev_meters out=elev.4m

# reset resolution to match resampled DEM
# this might be required if your DEM does not extend beyond the extent of the resampling step
# r.resamp.interp will automatically extend the region when performing resampling, if the raster is large enough
# g.region rast=elev.4m
r.out.pov map=elev.4m tga=elev.4m.tga

# overlay export
r.out.png in=ikonos.rgb out=ikonos.4m.png

# Render with POVRAY:
povray +Ipinn.pov +Opinn.png +D +P +W800 +H800 +A
