Elliot Padfield shares a reproducible workflow for building 3D animations of real locations with Claude Code and free map data:
- AWS Terrain Tiles: provides the shape of the land
- Overture Maps: provides buildings, roads and parks
Feed Claude Code the links plus a prompt like: "build a 3D scene of [place] using this data. I want to [animate a route / highlight a location / make a flyover]. Fetch the area we need and help me animate it in three.js." Use cases include animating a running route, showcasing a property's neighborhood, or making a location intro for videos.
