Using 3D tiles looks like a great ways to distribute models to cesium for our larger infrastructure datasets. Are there any tools(command line or gui) that can convert our existing 3d datasets (fbx, collada, obj or similar) to 3D tiles?

Hi Kristian,
If you are able to convert your models to binary glTF then creating basic b3dm tiles is very easy, and we will have a tool in 3d-tiles-tools soon to do that. Also check out the converters listed on this page: http://cesiumjs.org/convertmodel.html. If you want to add per-feature metadata you will need to create a batch table and assign BATCH_IDs in the glTF model. Check out the b3dm spec for more details. Finally to define the tree structure of your tileset you will need to build this yourself for now.
Thank you for your quick response!
In my head I have an approach now, however as an technical artist I’ll probably save me alot frustrating just waiting for the toolset to mature a bit. If I have progress I’ll share my results.
Best Regards,
Kristian
