Discover the future of geological modeling with this new QGIS plugin! This video showcases the current version of the plugin and it's future. ✅Support the project here : bit.ly/implicitmodeller
Your work is amazing! I'm curious how you managed to visualize 3D geological model in QGIS? Do you use Python libraries like Pyvista, Matplotlib or Mayavi? Looking forward to hearing from you. Have a nice day!
Thank you for your kind word ! the plugin is not just visalizing them you can build them in Qgis from scratch ! and I m using all the libraries you mentioned and more !
hello!!! great work. I've got some questions. First of all if you' know when the plugin will be available in plugins manager and if there will be some kind of ad at the moment of the release. Then if will be available an option to calculate the volumes of different geological units. thx and have a nice day
The plugin will be available if it gets enough support ( there is not enough support so far), you can the roadmap on the website to check the progress , and yes you will be able to calculate volumes for sure
I think you must to talk with Oslandia to see how this project can have financial support. And many geological surveys use to give grants to proyects like this. Oslandia have a good connection with the French GS (BGRM)
when it is fully funded and the development is finished!

Impressive. Congratulations and much encouragement on the work that remains. Lots of questions from the video you shared. What type of interpolation does the add-in use? Will it be possible to modify it? (Kriging, IDW, TIN, other ways?) What kind of export will the generated models allow (Tif, IFC, DXF, etc)? There was another geological modeling attempt some time ago that seems to have fallen by the wayside: Albion (From Oslandia). Did you know about this project; it might be interesting to see why it did not conclude. (Etc.)
Thank you for your comment, @César. Your questions are quite insightful, and I'll do my best to provide detailed answers: Our add-in currently utilizes a Radial Basis Function (RBF) for generating implicit surfaces. Although we are exploring the possibility of adding more options to control the RBF, we may not incorporate more than one algorithm for building surfaces. This is to ensure the plugin remains user-friendly for non-specialists. However, various interpolation methods, including Ordinary Kriging (OK), Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW), and Nearest Neighbors (NN), will be implemented for grade estimation. Being an open-source project, the flexibility to modify or enhance the source code will always be accessible to all users. As for the export formats, the plugin will support common image extensions (JPG, PNG, TIF, etc.) for 2D data like section images. For 3D data, we are committed to providing support for both DXF and OBJ formats. The DXF will cater to 2.5D surfaces and 3D meshes, while OBJ will be ideal for 3D manifold solids. The ubiquity of these formats in both mining and non-mining packages ensures users can easily import the exported 3D files/drawings into different software. In terms of the Albion project from Oslandia, I'm aware of its existence, but I can't provide a comprehensive reason for the halt in its development. Based on my understanding (though I can't verify this entirely), Albion was fully integrated with QGIS, meaning that the QGIS 3D viewers and 2D canvas were used for digitization and interpretation. Albion, to the best of my knowledge, used digitized information in sections to create triangulated surfaces, functioning more like an explicit tool. However, these observations are based solely on my limited familiarity with the software and may not be completely accurate. Our Implicit Modeller, in contrast, operates more like an external software, executing all computations and manipulations through external scripts, including 3D visualization. Even though it exists as a plugin within QGIS, it interacts directly with QGIS inputs, such as layers and databases. I hope this clarifies your queries and I am open to more discussions regarding the plugin.

@@MiningGeologist Thank you very much for the work and for the answer. I will be very interested in the progress you are showing.
@@MiningGeologist Has anybody in your group seen ABOS (Approximation Based On Smoothing)? (search: Interpolation Methods For Construction Of Surfaces by Miroslav Dressler)
Great work as always! Any chance we could get an option to add screening intervals for groundwater monitoring wells? I know this has specifically been designed for mining, but I've found the current qgis plugin to be very helpful for simple aquifer visualizations.
Hey MG is there an option to export to a gltf model from the plugin to import for example in three.js? or do you see an option to do this with the qgis2threejs plugin with the implicit modeler model??
from the Implicit modeller you will be able to export any wireframe to the OBJ format which can be converted easily to any format you want since it is supported almost by all 3D softwares.
Hey Hey hope there is some motion to get this going! I don't wanna miss the release !__! Do you have maybe a somewhat realistic geuss on duration for release by now (based on the reactions and support you got maybe?)@@MiningGeologist Ty
@@axolotlradio3663 As highlighted in the video, the release date and pace of this project hinge entirely on community support. Unfortunately, we've received limited backing so far, with contributions totaling just xxx$.
@@MiningGeologist I have not really a good idea of how expensive something like this would cost, I would guess that the creation of the code would be the most costly. That seemed to be in a great state already, as seen in ur vid. Any way, that is unfortunate to hear. Good look, keep it up
Thanks for the video ! What version of Qgis do I need to use this plugin? And how to install the plugin? I can't find it in the extensions... Thank you for your reply
@@user-xg9ug1xt9e Mathilde, le plugin est open source, mais il est toujours en cours de développement. La campagne de financement participatif décidera s'il sera bientôt disponible publiquement ou pas du tout. Ce projet dépend fortement du soutien de la communauté. Tout le monde peut contribuer avec le montant qu'il peut se permettre. Les fonds recueillis seront utilisés pour poursuivre le développement du projet. Vous pouvez faire un don en suivant le lien ci-dessous. qgismining.com/project-landing/
@@MiningGeologist Idk if i understood. For example, you bring 1 borehole that has: Sand 0 to 1m clay 1 to 2m Silt 2 to 3m I guess you commented that you bring a simpler data. But it would be nice seeing the model wich the data is complexer and feasible like: Sand 0 to 1m clay 1 to 2m sand 2 to 3 Silt 3 to 4m
@@FernandoSapotec I got it now yes in the future this should be possible, but just a quick note that even the best commercial packages out there still struggle a bit with such data
@@charlyona3364 it is not out yet this is a proof of concept, you can support the work to make this tool available as soon as possible here : qgismining.com/project-landing/#donate
