OGC has three standards (two of them are yet only proposed) that could be used in the context of 3dmodells. * WFS - Request the raw data of 3D models in any format derived from GML3 (with app schema plugin) * (W3DS) - A 3d scenegraph is returned to the user to be visualized (for the moment I think only VRML och X3D is supported) * (WPVS / WTS) - Generates an image from a three dimensional scene which is sent to the client.
KML+Collada is the way of Google, X3D is the successor of VRML. >From the features point of view I guess requesting models over WFS would be >best but I don't think you could pass Collada that way. I for one thinks that an integration with worldwind + geoserver + 3d would be great. Have you looked at Glob3, http://glob3.sourceforge.net/features.html as I understand they started out with world wind and extended it with a lot of GIS features. One of the coolest being the ability to view a 3d point cloud of several millions points which are generalized in real time to get performance. The closer you get the more accurate the visualization is. /Lukas Johansson -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: tis...@eleceng.adelaide.edu.au [mailto:tis...@eleceng.adelaide.edu.au] Skickat: den 6 april 2011 01:14 Till: geoserver-users@lists.sourceforge.net Ämne: Re: [Geoserver-users] question about 3d visualition Hi, I have been maintaining the NASA WorldWind - http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/java/ format modules in community space and this lets you publish imagery and terrain to worldwind from Geoserver - http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/community/dds/index.html . I am aiming to provide greater access to worldwind by adding a 3D layer preview tool alongside openlayers as part of this year's GSOC - http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/WorldWind+Integration . Worldwind will serve as your 3D viewing client with Geoserver acting as the data backend. If there is sufficient interest I am also considering serving 3D assets (collada models) , but I am not yet aware of a standard for doing this, even Google 3D warehouse does not have an API. Deegree serves VRML format models, VRML is frankly quite dated.
