Excited to launch a project we've been working on at @CartoDB for the last few weeks. @GMapsPlatform just announced worldwide 3D tile data and we used it to build an interactive story map using #deckgl #webgl #javascript github.com/CartoDB/tiles3…

@RealIvanSanchez @zakjan @bdon @TimSalabim3 @maplibre I do have a depth buffer and support object priority via an accessor: github.com/visgl/deck.gl/… Completely agree it isn't without issues, but that is often the way with realtime solutions :)

@RealIvanSanchez @zakjan @bdon @TimSalabim3 @maplibre At the moment it is in the fragment shader, but coherent lookup across the whole object, so could move to the vertex shader. I have considered an intermediate framebuffer to better support fading. Also, I'm not aiming to implement a full labeling solution.

@RealIvanSanchez @zakjan @bdon @TimSalabim3 @maplibre My approach is indeed doing a point-in-polygon test, which can be used to get good results for regular shapes, but not for arbitrary shapes when pixel-perfect collisions are needed. A curved label can however be approximated by circles: docs.mapbox.com/help/troublesh…

At @CARTO we’re looking for a senior @reactjs dev. I’ve been working here for a little over a year - and I’d like to share a bit on how it’s been. RT appreciated 😊 carto.com/careers/

@tmcw @placemarkio Great news. Get in touch if you want to discuss - I'm also looking at adding labeling now. GeoJsonLayer supports a mode which is zero-copy via a binary format (loaders.gl/modules/gis/do…).

After 16 months of work I'm ready to share slowroads.io, my project to procedurally generate scenic landscapes, packaged as a chill driving game. Built with @threejs to run in your browser - no logins, no installs, just roads... #threejs #procedural #webgl

@tmcw geojson.xyz seems to be down, is this expected?

@HuynhNguyens That API is no longer available, use the elevation data from Maptiler instead github.com/felixpalmer/pr…

After 7 years of closed-source, I've changed direction and just launched: Procedural GL JS github.com/felixpalmer/pr…, an #opensource #webgl #javascript #threejs #dataviz library, for rendering 3D terrains.

The new version of @Mapbox GL JS introduces non-Mercator map projections, reimagined for the interactive maps era in a way you've never seen before. This is a big deal. Thread:
