Chapter 7
3d web scenes! This was a super interesting chapter. I’ve already done some 3d GIS stuff both last year in 291 and also in Remote Sensing this year with Drone2Map. We also learned about the differences between digital elevation models, digital surface models, and digital terrain models in Remote Sensing. The use of feature layers to create 3d objects is a weird way of going about 3d modelling and placement but I suppose this isn’t meant to be an animation software. The different scene types are very interesting. The different use cases for integrated meshes vs point clouds etc. are very interesting.
App Idea
3d web scene of my home neighborhood in Newton MA. Nobody from around here has ever been to my home area so it could be fun to show people.
