I was involved in building the interactive story map using deck.gl that you can view at https://3dtiles.carto.com It’s really cool to have access to all this amazing data! Shout out to Google for working with us to bring support

Impressive performance, I remember trying this technique a while back a the number of steps required made the frame rate drop. Is the code public? By the way, you might like https://felixpalmer.github.io/volcanoes-of-japan&#

Great work, runs very smoothly! Where do you do the shadow calculation? Do you have precomputed tilesets or do you do it on the client?

Nice writeup, I always like it when the shaders are highlighted like this. I got started in a similar way 7 years ago and have been making 3D terrains with THREE.js & WebGL since. The real fun begins when you need to implement some sort

Great thanks - perhaps obvious, but worth running the PNGs through something like pngcrush. I'm thinking about it the other way also, that is could your approach be used to reduce the size of DEMs encoded as PNGs. While I can see brotl

Great visualization and approach with compressing the tile data. Do you have a comparison of how much smaller the payload ends up being compared to simply sending PNG files? I use PNGs to encode elevation data in my 3D mapping library ( htt

I wrote the underlying 3D library, but React isn't my specialty, so I don't know if this is deemed best practice. Seems to work though and is nice and extensible, allowing the API to be proxied if and when the component changes

Really nice, any plans on showing this on integrating 3D maps? You might be interested in my project, Procedural GL JS: a mobile-first 3D mapping engine with emphasis on user experience. Live demo here: https://felixpalmer.github

Well, I made the engine - so the answer is both :) Glad you like it. I still feel the pinch zoom could be improved though so that the focal point was at the center of the touch points, but otherwise it is pretty close to the native controls
