Topograph 2.0.10 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesTopograph draws the language of maps over your footage. Brightness in the image becomes elevation, and the plugin renders contour lines and shaded relief that ripple as the shot moves. A portrait can turn into a landscape of hills, and a city flyover gains the feel of a printed survey map. It works on a single frame for poster style designs and across time for animated map looks.

FAQs
What kind of footage works best?
Shots with clear light and shade give the strongest terrain feel, because brightness drives the elevation in the map.
Can I design a still image with it?
Yes. It gives interactive feedback on one frame, so poster and thumbnail designs are quick to explore.
Is it a real mapping tool?
No. It is a creative effect inspired by topography, not a source of real geographic data.
