3D Tiles was created to stream massive 3D datasets over the web. As an open specification, it is intended to serve as the de facto standard for visualizing and analyzing large 3D data across many different runtime engines. Today, many engines, including CesiumJS, AGI’s STK, and Uber’s loaders.gl, support 3D Tiles for streaming massive 3D geospatial datasets.

We are excited to announce the release of 3D Tiles Overview, an easy-to-follow guide for learning the main concepts of 3D Tiles, designed to help integrate 3D Tiles support into runtime engines for visualizing and analyzing large heterogeneous 3D geospatial content.

The cover page of the 3D Tiles Overview highlights all the concepts covered.

This guide complements the detailed and comprehensive 3D Tiles specification with concise coverage of key concepts to help developers get started with 3D Tiles quickly.

We are thrilled to have collaborated with Marco Hutter, a long-time contributor to glTF and the creator of the glTF reference card that inspired this work.

We would love to learn how the 3D Tiles Overview helps developers work with 3D Tiles and whether there are any suggestions for improvement. If you’re looking for a place to learn 3D Tiles, head to Cesium ion to curate your own 3D Tilesets, or upload your own data for tiling, hosting, and streaming as 3D Tiles.
