It includes visualisation of the tile data in both 3D and 2D map views (feature footprints). This fulfills a critical need for QGIS users, permitting access to 3d data provided by their respective government agencies to work alongside all their other standard geospatial layers (vector, raster, point clouds). By making 3D Tiles a first class citizen in QGIS we help strengthen the case that those agencies should be providing their data in the Cesium format (as opposed to any proprietary alternatives). +This development was funded by the [Cesium Ecosystem Grant](https://cesium.com/cesium-ecosystem-grants/grant-directory/) and is a collaborative project between [North Road Consulting](https://north-road.com) (AUS) and [Lutra Consulting](https://www.lutraconsulting.co.uk/) (UK). +Check North Road's [blog](https://north-road.com/2023/06/01/cesium-ecosystem-grant-win-for-qgis-3d-tiles/) for background information. + ## Title **Time:** 25 August 2023 [09h00](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?year=2023&month=08&day=25&hour=09&min=00&sec=0&msg=QGISOpenDay-session1 "click this link to find out the time in your local time zone"). @@ -42,7 +58,6 @@ Name **Description:** Text - # Adding more events You can do this too! We really encourage others to follow our initiative, using the wiki page link below to organise your plans (just add a section below the last one). You can host virtual meetups in the Jitsi room, plan your next steps to take QGIS further down the road to world domination and much much more. We encourage language and region-specific huddles, documentation improvement sessions, bug fixing, making beautiful maps, and working together to do amazing things with QGIS.
