![]() ![]() There are tons of models readily available at 3D Warehouse. Since October, Google replaces step by step hand-made models with 3d mesh tiles (of currently aweful quality) to make it a more complete (with trees) and seamless experience with consistent shading. They ended up with Collada packaged in kmz, and compressed and streamed with an unknown adaptive 3d streaming technology. ![]() I think Open3DMap goes into the right direction with linking real 3d files to osm points.Īt the beginning Google had tried to do buildings with kml linestrings polygons (like osm primitives), but it had similar challenges: no textures, striking colors and no shading, bad performance. Are there current efforts for a 3d model repository? is at the moment not under active development.Are photo-textured models in the scope of osm-3d, and what format is used/preferred?.As for my understanding the tries to model buildings with ways and relations are good for low-detail mass models, but does it scale up to highly detailed and highly-accurate models? Are these models currently traced by hand, or is there a 3d modeler that is suitable? Are there converters or exporter plugins for more common modeling softwares? OSM has rather a parametric and fact-centric approach.Since Openlayers 3 adds WebGL support, is there a roadmap to get 3d to the main page? However for 3d, the landscape appeared to me still early and fragmented. I discovered that there is a plenty of powerful APIs, libraries, tools that exposed very advanced technology. The viewer on the main page is very attractive, easy to find and use, and professional ( ).I would be interested to learn more about the current status and roadmap of osm-3d (I’ve read what is in the wiki). Now it’s up to us to re-build our community. ![]() We can of course not expect to find exactly all of that here, but I see it as critical to identify commonalities and motivating aspects before trying to persuade people to get habituated to something new/unknown. In addition to that, Google had professional community managers and generous modeling conferences on all continents. ![]() Our community was rather artistic (and cared less about the proprietary issues with Google), and it was a pleasure to see our work shown off to a wide audience (GE, 500mio installations). Though I’m enthusiastic about open source and open data, I’m myself new in openstreetmaps and have much to learn about it.Ī main aspect is motivation. A challenge could be that our community – though still passionate about 3d – isn’t very active anymore and disperses into finding new hobbys related to 3d or geo. I’m looking into ways to migrate the modelers community from SketchUp/3D Warehouse over to openstreetmaps, and find appropriate fields where we can contribute our skills. It hurts me to see what is lost, and at the same time how beneficial it could have been to osm-3d. There is not only a huge amount of technology and experience that dies with the end of the so-called “3d pipeline”, but also a huge modelers community that was hit at the hardest. While Google strives to make users contribute primarily to MapMaker (instead of OSM), they discontinued the croud-sourced modeling in October 2013, leaving osm-3d as the single and more open alternative. In the above related videos, you can learn how to export to Google Earth 3D objects built in CAD using 3D Lines (in this case a set of electric high voltage towers)Īs you can see in the following image, the KML/KMZ ‘Spatial Manager’ data provider parameters will allow you, not only to define graphic styles for the resulting elements, but also to choose the main Google Earth properties for these elements and to select from which data to take the altitude values and how to consider them (Relative to ground, Clamped to ground, Absolute, etc.As many of you know, Google had besides their croud-sourced 2d MapMaker project also croud-sourced 3d modeling for Google Earth. Related videos: AutoCAD / BricsCAD / ZWCAD The case study reviewed in this Blog entry illustrates a very common scenario CAD L2 (Medium) 3D Export Google Earth (KML)Īlthough you can find several examples in this Blog where you can see how to export 3D objects to Google Earth basing their altitudes on an attached data or on their constant Z elevation, you can also export native 3D objects (such as Polylines or Lines in CAD versions). ![]()
