Not a question about the mesh generator, but if I want to create a (leaflet or mapbox) map that uses raster images as textures in vector maps, where do I start?

Similar to the Middle earth style map, but for the web: https://adventuresinmapping.com/2018/09/10/middle-earth-map-...

Just open https://studio.mapbox.com and have a go! It's a really powerful tool with a ton of customization options, including ones related to textures & patterns. Also check out one of the recent tutorials for a textured map: https://blog.mapbox.com/designing-the-treasure-map-style-431... We also have a cool guide for map design: https://www.mapbox.com/map-design/

Awesome, thanks a lot!

Did you leverage this approach to optimize terrain rendering/add detail on devices where hardware tessellation is not supported? Lovely algorithm in any case. [Edit: Just remembered the limitation is with WebGL itself, doh.]

Firefox looks a bit wacky: https://i.imgur.com/ivLwxyG.png

Wow, what OS / device is this on? Looks fine on Firefox 68 / OS X for me.

I'm seeing similar results on FF68.0.2 Win10 with a GTX 1060.

Firefox 68.0, OS X 10.14.6

Really weird! No idea what could be the culprit. Some GPU bug maybe?

On android firefox doesnt seem to work at all. Nor does ff preview. Chrome works.

This is awesome. I wrote a Terrain-RGB to greyscale PNG converter and would love to play around with this in a demo map for a 3D preview or something. How are you rendering the mesh in your notebook? Threejs?

All the code is there — browse to the bottom and click on the left side of ThreeJS sections to expand them.

Duh! Thanks!

great work! a little simpler minus the triangle conversion, have you seen the openFrameworks chapter for generating mesh from color saturation values? https://openframeworks.cc/ofBook/chapters/generativemesh.htm...

Haven't seen this, thanks for sharing!

Super neat! I will definitely be checking this lib out.
