Hey Yuri and Janko, thank you for your interest! About your questions:

I doubt WMF will implement much > functionality for the OMS-specific goals at this stage. I personally believe that both repositories can cooperate, despite having different goals. For instance, if you made a model of the Eiffel Tower, you could submit it to both repositories, to provide an interactive 3D representation of the building in Wikipedia, and for displaying it on a map in OSM. Models from the Wikimedia site, with the correct licenses, could also be imported to 3DMR and vice-versa. > There are several reasons for referencing them, one is if you render the > Eiffel tower, you don't have to render the Eiffel tower way underneath. So if > you see the tag 3dmr=4, you ignore the way and just render the 3d model. Indeed, it's currently working the way you're describing, the way underneath is ignored when we render the model, in that case. You can consult more information on the 3dmr=* tag in https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Tordanik/Proposed_features/3D_model_repository_links. > Also, the 3d model can show the metadata taken from the way when clicked. That could be a feature of a 3D visualizer, yes. In fact, I believe OSM go already implements this. Try going to http://osmgo.org/go.html?lat=41.69230008&lon=-8.82631887&ele=1.50&dir=351&view=-7&con=2&opt=0&name=beton and clicking on the 3D model of the bench! Or do you mean something else by 'metadata'? > I'll be making models, thanks for this! Thank you! Have anything to model in mind? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
