fantastic! anyone have sources for USA lidar point clouds?

In related projects, this script takes a GeoTIFF (which usually comes from a lidar pass) Digital Elevation Model, and renders it inside minetest (opensource voxel game). https://github.com/Gael-de-Sailly/geo-mapgen#readme

The National Map! https://viewer.nationalmap.gov/basic/

Kinda hard to use, though. You can find the raw data by state here: ftp://rockyftp.cr.usgs.gov/vdelivery/Datasets/Staged/NED/LPC/projects/
