Olivia GuyotJust discovered https://giro3d.org/, looks awesome and really reminds me of a discussion several years ago with @erilem 🙃
autra@oguyot_c2c part of Giro3d design is clearly inspired from discussions I had with @erilem too! He initially helped us integrate the openlayers sources, which allows us to support standard services without too much effort.
@autra Yes, I had a look and integration with OL is great IMO. Well done! How far are you guys in terms of rendering actual shapes instead of images for vector data?
@oguyot_c2c We already have support for a subset of the 3dtiles spec (pnts and b3dm). You can find pnts demo on giro3d website. b3dm, the best I have is this video: https://vimeo.com/335095397. I plan on adding demos on the website soon.
And I'm currently working on support for meshes from WFS sources, including extrusion. Teaser, currently it looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/J13jlDY.jpg . This should land soon I think.

@autra thanks, improssive work! I'm really curious on how meshes from WFS are adjusted to the elevation model 🧐 are they positioned vertically according to their center and then extruded downwards and upwards?
@oguyot_c2c they could be, but here, it's simpler : the IGN wfs servers gives us 3d coordinates already, and a height property, so we "just" have to generate a roof and triangulate everything.
@autra sweet! 👍
@oguyot_c2c Don't hesitate to contribute! Although it's mainly developed by Oslandia dev for now, we want it to be community-driven.
@autra I'd like to go back to doing 3D but I'm currently quite busy with good old 2D vector tiles in OL 😓 but yes, very interesting project, I4ll keep it in mind!
@oguyot_c2c as you could see, your 2D work is very useful for us, 3D folks! (we use openlayers sources for supporting standard protocol, avoiding us to code everything *again*)
