So I got this project at work that I have never even think about before. The television station that I am working for wants me to create a volcano in 3D. This is a volcano that dose exist so it needs to be kind of accurate to the real one. My local university has data about the volcano but I have no idea how to use them in Maya. I thought about using a displacement map but I need to be able to orbit around it and also cut it in half to see what is happening inside of it. I live in Iceland by the way and we have a lot of active volcanos.
The geologist sent me list of files that he can export. Most of these files I have not even heard of. If any of you have done something like this before it would be a great help if you cold tell me the process.
