By default, Leapfrog Geo’s isotropic interpolant is a powerful tool for visualising broad trends, but it can also produce spherical surfaces that don't reflect the true nature of your deposit. In the real world, geology has direction. Ensuring your model honours trends and anisotropies present in the geology is the key to transforming a generic shape into a geologically representative interpretation.
This session will provide a deep dive into the topic of structural trends in Leapfrog Geo. We will move beyond the basics of global trends to explore how you can use locally variable trends to gain granular control over your models. Learn to harness the full potential of your structural data to define continuity and build more robust, data-driven implicit models with confidence.
In this session, you will learn how to:
👉🏼 Move beyond isotropic models: Learn why applying anisotropic trends is crucial for creating realistic geological surfaces that honour your underlying structural fabric.
👉🏼 Master key trend types: Discover when to use non-decaying, strongest along inputs, and blending trends to model everything from regional continuity to complex structures.
👉🏼 Control trend strength and shape: Master key parameters like strength, range, and ellipsoid ratios to precisely define the shape and influence of your trends.
👉🏼 Leverage new improvements from Leapfrog 2025.3: Apply refined clustering settings to downstream models for greater transparency and control.
👉🏼 Apply trends to diverse geometries: Learn techniques for applying structural trends to a variety of geometries.
