Terrain DB format for offline usage

Hi,

are there any documentation of the terrain.db format available ?

We use the output of the terrain-tiler, but have a customer, who ask about

Are there any tools available, that can produce this format ? - i think also cesium ion selfhosted - is this right ?

The terraindb format is structurally similar to MBTiles 1.1, with the binary data formats being extended to include quantized mesh. But it is not publicly or officially specified. It is not intended to be read or produced by third-party applications.

Hi Marco,

Thank you for the answer, but i don‘t understand your Remark !!!

We paid to use Terrain-Tiler to Convert our data in cesium formats and then
you comment, the Format is Not intended to be read by third-Party
Applications!!!

There are different parts of the Cesium infrastructure that can read and write terraindb files. For example, the 3D Buildings Tiler can generate terraindb files.The asset server can serve terraindb files. In some cases, there is also the alternative of 3dtiles (with a proposal for a specification of that format).

For the case that there are more specific questions about workflows or usage patterns, I’ll ping the @cesium-ion team here, maybe they can provide additional details (be it details about the terraindb format, or recommendations for supporting your desired workflows).

Hi Mario,

I think you mean the Terrain-Tiler Not the Building Tiler. I know this
Software.

The ion-Team would be a Suggestion. Here is one question - could i Generate
terraindb- files with the „Tiling-Pipeline“ of Self-hosted?
