Terrain service as Cesium 3D-tiles?

[Xavier W.]

Dear all,

Since I didn't get any traction in my GitHub issue, let me post it here:

Currently you are providing a terrain service with a Cesium quantized mesh implementation.

You are also providing Cesium 3D-tiles for swissbuildings, swisstlm and vegetation. None of them include the terrain.

Is there any chance you can also provide the terrain as 3D-tiles? Quantized mesh is confirmed here by Sean Lilley, Cesium 3D team lead, to be a predecessor of the 3D tiles. I know that swisstopo is very high tech, so I think this would be aligned with your vision to use state of the art technology :)

Bonus point: It would be so awesome if the terrain could be textured with swissimage!

Thank you very much for considering.

Hey Xavier,

Thanks for your question

For what we have seen, Quantized Mesh is still what we use in Cesium Visualizing 3D Terrain – Cesium. There is no example of 3D-Tiles for a terrain. Do you have any examples ? 

Thank you in advance for your answer and happy Easter
