Re: [OSM-talk] OSM 3D, featured image
Nice images, but I found no software for generating the data (I'd like to see another country in that way), so usability is somewhat limited. But it could be nice image of what can be done, so I think we should get one nice image from them to featured images. Maybe it'll inspire someone to produce similar tool, but an opensource one.

Hi there, as the website already says: all data, images and videos are cc-by-sa. The software was produced mainly in another project, so it can't be open source for now. The preprocessing and resultig structure of the data is very specialized for our service infrastructure, database and use case and would probably not be of that much value for others. Only if you would set up the whole service infrastructure, which is a little demanding... e.g. the processing of the Germany DEM alone (without buildings, POIs etc.) needed more than 1300 CPU hours processing time. Thereofre it was done on a computing-cluster... Images: you can generate your own screenshots, by using the XNavigator client, if you have a good bandwidth and a good computer with 3D graphics card, Sun Java 1.6 etc. Maybe you put the ones you like best in a Wiki-Space? There are some more scenic cities in Germany, like Freiburg (or smaller ones near the Alps) etc., we just had not time to make screenshots of every city in Germany ;-) but I put some more at this place (not yet on the website) http://www.geographie.uni-bonn.de/karto/osm-3d/Screenshots/tmp/osm3d-germany.w3ds.Freiburg.PNG http://www.geographie.uni-bonn.de/karto/osm-3d/Screenshots/tmp/osm3d-germany.w3ds.zaehringen.PNG but larger cities with lot of OSM data tend to be use more space and therfore are on flatter areas and the smaller towns close to mountains may have less rich data (at least with resepct to the tags we use so far for this first version), but you can see the alps from munich etc.. maybe check also the videos. The SRTM height data is not exaggerated at this time, so it may look a little flat, but that is what the srtm data says... we will have an option for visually exaggerating the DEM height values very soon, though. As the processing of the DEM with integrating the streetslanduse takes that long please be patient for updates. We are just starting to plan for that. But point-like layers (POIs), labels and buildings shall be updated ~weekly. This is just the very first test version and trial and of course we will try to improve the service and use more tags than now... we just wanted to get this first version running, than we can think about how to proceed. ps. I am away from my mail until March 08, so won't be able to answer... best whishes alexander zipf http://www.osm-3d.org/ http://www.geographie.uni-bonn.de/karto/ / Other than the terrain images most of the city views are pretty flat. // Maybe ask them to produce a render of somwhere with plenty of OSM data // and interesting terrain.

Martin Hi, I was inspired some time ago (http://igorbrejc.net/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-3d-short-video), but with all the other stuff I'm working on, I just haven't found the time to implement this properly.
