Quantized Mesh Terrain Tiles as Output format #59

Closed geospatialmapmashup closed 4 years ago

geospatialmapmashup commented 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to be able to have .terrain quantized mesh terrain tiles for use in CesiumJS and HarpGL in addition to gltf/glb export option.

Describe alternatives you've considered Cesium Terrain Builder

Additional context Very cool project we are building mobile app Earth Explorer 3D Map App http://earthexplorer.world that supports both gltf/glb, 3DTiles and quantized mesh terrain tiles offline and streaming from the web.

Hi! I’m trying to understand your needs. Why not using directly Cesium quantized meshes ? Or MapBox ? You want to superimpose elevation API models onto 3D tiles ? Is the resolution bad ?

geospatialmapmashup commented 4 years ago

Cesium costs $150/month minimum for Commercial use So it's not an option

So you want me to make a Cesium clone for free, for you, while you are selling your app $225 per user per year ? Is this a paid job offer ??

BTW the back end server for elevationapi.com costs me 80€/month, and the service is free. This is the option I chose.

I don't see an interest of doing exactly what others do quite well. Tiling is great and is something I will do for sure, but at my own pace. You're more than welcome to fork the repo and contribute, and (I know it's a lot to ask) you can be a Patron on my Patreon.

Cheers!

I already processed the world I have mbtiles of quantized mesh terrain tiles and area of interest tool dot net core tool Served via my tile server or in app tile provider Just giving users flexibility of other data sources

We use the data with cesium and harpgl/three js

Where are you getting $225 price ? I will have three tiers on iOS, Android and Windows

Basic/lite, standard and Pro

The highest tier Pro is only $125/one time purchase not year

It supports every ESRI and OGC service and 3Dtiles and the gltf 3D Models

And SOCRATA,.CKAN, CSW open data

I get the information from your site (didn't dive into other tiers) I don't see how DEMNet terrain model would be a better option if you already processed the planet. Sorry if I misunderstand your position. But I still not getting things straight here.

My skypeId is xfischer. Let's arrange a call tomorrow at 6PM paris Time

You know what @geospatialmapmashup, this idea kept me thinking. 🤔 💭 ... Then I saw that quantized meshes were similar to what I saw with RTINs from this article, and I definitely want to implement RTINs. So it's just a step before actually doing quantized meshes. Sorry for being rude, I better understand now that it's just an open standard and could be served as well from elevation api. So let's reopen this one! AB#38
