Alternatives to cesium-terrain-builder?

Open mrgloom opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

Are there any alternatives to cesium-terrain-builder that can tile dem.tif to .tif tiles and then use them directly as tiles for terrain in cesium?

@mrgloom : I've seen a couple other Cesium terrain conversion utilities out there at some point. Is there a problem with cesium-terrain-builder that doesn't fit your use case?

I have issue with large DEM .tif files, so I'm not directly generating .terrain tiles but use .tif tiles as intermediate representation followed by gdalbuildvrt. So I want to use .tif tiles directly if it's possible.

Cesium only supports its heightmap and quantized-mesh file formats for loading terrain. You can't use TIFF files (or DTED, or anything else) directly. You have to convert those files into heightmap or quantized-mesh.
