A comment on 3D OpenStreetMap.

I'm wondering where it is getting the data for the high-resolution buildings?

For example, Big Ben at the Houses of Parliament in London has a detailed model, and so too does nearby Westminster Abbey, and several famous structures nearby.

It looks like there is a JSON[1] mapping OSM (id's?) to textures[2] and a .bis file which I believe is a 3D model format.

This is super impressive. I've been working on shademap.app for the past few years and they've implemented it's main functionality as an afterthought.
