Yes, that's one of the "obligatory" features of 3D scenery renderers. What I will probably do is to first publish a prototype standalone application for 3D OSM maps and include some kind of XML configuration where you'll be able to specify relief exaggeration (among other things). Then I'll merge this into the main Kosmos.GUI and provide a GUI for setting these things.On Thu, Jul 17, 2008 at 09:19:02PM +0200, Igor Brejc wrote:I've started playing around using DirectX in combination with SRTM data to draw 3D relief OSM maps. The plan is to add this feature to Kosmos. Please visit http://igorbrejc.net/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-in-3d if you want to see some initial results.Wow - that's amazing. One feature request from a hilly, but not mountainous part of the world - can you include an option to exaggerate the relief? On the wall at work is a physical relief map of Oxford in plastic made by the Ordnance Survey in the 1970s. I recall from the small print that the scale of the vertical axis is three times that of the horizontal plane - and that gives a map where the hills look like they feel as I cycle up them!s I'll also invest some time in trying out Axiom engine mentioned before (or some other library) to make 3D rendering more portable, but I cannot promise more than that.
