HI Mathieu
Regarding on-screen navigation, it'd be good to think of an
implementation that would work for both 2D as well as 3D map
canvases when conceptualizing the way ahead (I'm not
suggesting you implement this as part of this GSoC plan, just
seeding the idea as it might shape way you move forward).
It'd be useful in a few places across QGIS to have some ultra
basic zooming and panning controls attached to a qgsmapcanvas.
Hmm, yeah, I will think about it in the design. I agree, if it
can be used on other part, it will be better for sure.
Hi Nyall,
Great proposal Ismail -- all these features would be lovely
to see!
Reading over the billboard proposal, I'd strongly suggest
that you
re-use QGIS marker symbology here to render the actual billboard
content. Amongst other benefits, this would allow re-use of
identical
symbols between 2d and 3d maps.
Best of luck with the coding!
As Martin said, it's a good point. I will be happy to re-use
existing code, I think it's a win-win solution.
Thanks, Nyall
Hi Andreas
Hi Ismail,
Looks nice - thanks for the proposal. Hopefully it will be
accepted!
I'd love to see all of these improvements, esp. the billboard
ones - because currently there is no way to properly label
something in 3d.
I added a suggestion for the billboards: Allow leader lines
between the original point feature and the billboard location
above the point feature, with a configurable vertical offset
(best also data-defined). It would help better locate the
position of the actual feature that is labeled.
-------------------------
There are two other ideas regarding QGIS 3D:
* allow highlighting of objects in 3D when using the
Identify tool. Currently one can pick an object in 3d and
query the attributes, but there is no visual feedback
what object was actually selected. perhaps with the new
line rendering that Martin is currently working on, this
could be used to draw a red 3d outline of the object picked?
* allow a per layer (or per category) wireframe mode for 3d
polygons and terrain (in order to be able to look through
the terrain or 3d objects).
I understand that this would be too much for the GSOC
proposal, but nevertheless I would like to mention those
here, as I think they are important. I totally understand, of
course, that they are too much for the GSOC proposal.
Thanks and good luck,
Andreas
Yeah, regarding the billboard, that's one of the common use cases
that Martin and I discussed. So it's under my radar to have
something like that in the implementation. Btw, thanks for your
comments in the Google Doc.
Those two ideas are interesting and should be implemented somehow
in the future. But as you said, perhaps it's too much for the
GSoC proposal :). I can't promise, but who knows what will happen
in the future :)
I can only add that I am also happy that Ismail would like to
participate in GSoC and I hope this proposal will get
accepted because
the proposal looks great.
Thanks for your help and guidance, Martin :)
Best regards

I am studying in Germany for my master degree. Since I am now
a student, I want to participate in this year Google Summer
of Code for QGIS. I am interested to contribute and work on
the 3D improvement. It's still young and I think that I can
help with making it more complete.

That's a good point!
