hierarchical-3dtiles-builder

Tool for building hierarchical 3D tiles

Core Features

• Converting multiple 3d models into one or more 3D tilesets
  • .obj format supported
• Supporting hierarchical LOD structure.
  • each level's content could be set in the same tileset, or be divided into different tilesets and connect each other by url field
  • settings for each level:
    • geometricError
    • externalChildSet : whether the next level's content should be stored in another tileset or not
• Supporting transformation
  • scale, rotatation, translation, and shearing could be set by a 4 x 4 matrix in settings

Setting options inherited from objTo3d-tiles

• model origin's position
  • latitude
  • longitude
  • height
• type of bounding volume
  • region
  • box
  • sphere

Input and Settings

Available settings options:

1. hierarchyFile : path to a json file describing hierarchy of models
2. transform: a transform matrix represented by one dimensional array
3. levels:
   • geometricError
   • externalChildSet

sample:

{
    "hierarchyFile": "./altizure_hierarchy.json",
    "transform": [
        1, 0, 0, 0,
        0, -1, 0, 0,
        0, 0, -1, 0,
        0, 0, 0, 1
    ],
    "levels": [
        {
            "level": 0,
            "geometricError": 8,
            "externalChildSet": false
        },
        {
            "level": 1,
            "geometricError": 4,
            "externalChildSet": false
        },
        {
            "level": 2,
            "geometricError": 2,
            "externalChildSet": true
        },
        {
            "level": 3,
            "geometricError": 1,
            "externalChildSet": false
        },
    ]
}

Keys in Hierarchy File

• models: models' tree
  • level
  • filename
  • children
• basePath: base path of model file

sample:

{
  "basePath": "/home/user/models",
  "models": [
    {
      "level": 0,
      "filename": "tile_0_0_0_tex.obj",
      "children": [
        {
          "level": 1,
          "filename": "tile_1_0_0_tex.obj",
          "children": [
            {
              "level": 2,
              "filename": "tile_2_0_0_tex.obj",
              "children": []
            },
            {
              "level": 2,

            }
          ]
        },
        {
          "level": 1,
          "filename": "tile_1_128_0_tex.obj",
          "children": [
