Create 3D models from OpenStreetMap data

OSM2World

I started to (re-) learn #Java because it is used by #OSM2World and Urban Eye... , #JOSM (and TVBrowser.org). I liked the origin of Java: Running code form a DVD on any Player-CPU. And I dislike Java because you need a Runtime. #WASM seems to be the better solution now.

But there is #Codlin! Like TypeScript, it is "the better..." - and more!: It can be compiled to many targets, including WASM, all smartphones and desktops. In theory, I will see how it turns out.

The idea was to transcode OSM2World and Urban Eye to Kodlin, may be even have a common library used by both tools.

But my starting playground will be something very different: A #gravity #simulation #game.

What means roof:direction=E ? Really East? #OSM2World "snaps" to the next wall angle. (pic 2) #F4map produces a bit of a disaster (pic1)

We should try to make an own rendere, "like F4" but better. And we try. (pic3/4) A lot to code, a lot to analyse and describe, how to make #OpenStreetMap tagging to a 3D view.

Would you like to help? Just Testing? Documentation?
Do you code #Bevy #BevyEngine? Do you know #GPU coding? UI design? #wasm ?

Over the past few months, I played around with OpenStreetMap a lot so as to learn some Blender basics. As there was a lack of a comprehensive guide out there on the Internet, I published something for the first time in ages.
