tangram not rendering tiles

[mkandulavm]

Hi

I have downloaded mvt format tiles as mbtiles for a region using https://github.com/tilezen/tilepacks

I have this offline mbtiles rendering in tangram.

However the generated mbtiles using tilemaker are not rendering and there are no errors.

I think I need to modify scene.yaml in tangram, but I am not getting any clear instructions on how to do this. Can you please help ?

Two parts are to consider:

• the way to build vector tiles with tilemaker (config.json and process.lua)
• the way to interpret built vector tiles with tangram (scene.yaml).

Unfortunatly, we miss a full success story from making tiles with tilemaker to render them with any solution (openlayer, leaflet, mapbox, tangram and so on...).

Yes, a ready-to-go config (aka "success story") is the subject of #139, but that will almost certainly use Mapbox GL. Tangram is a bit of a minority taste these days I'm afraid, and I think it would need a specialist developer to come up with a solution for that.

Note that tangram is a Linux Foundation project. So, we can hope we won't be accused of copying the data structure they use from nextzen. Whereas mapbox does not accept we reproduce their tile vector structure. We should take that seriously into account, even if mapbox is "popular".

OK thks.Good to know. I'll have a try with OpenMapTiles and convenient renderers.
