Cesium World Terrain as raster elevation

Hello is there an option or plan to get the raster data used for generating World Terrain meshes as raster tiles for client-side triangulation?

thanks

Hannes,

I’m sorry for the delayed reply here. There are no plans to provide raster tiles of terrain assets at this time. Raster tiles are inherently sub-optimal for terrain because of their uniform grid spacing. The longer term plan is to eventually provide Cesium World Terrain and other terrain assets as 3D Tiles across the board.

Is there a specific use case that requires you to use raster tiles?

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt,

Our company is building a metaverse on top of the 3D maps mobile app and we would have a bunch of topics to discuss with you and your team.

Is there a chance to set up a meeting to discuss things further?

Thanks,
Milan
