Not quite the same thing, but over the weekend I hacked google maps 3d tiles (mesh) together with a gaussian splat and the effect is pretty similar and effective:

Probably rate limited api calls given the hug of Twitter and HN. Capped at 1k per day see https://github.com/3DStreet/aframe-loader-3dtiles-component

Code is available via glitch url

Are you on Bluesky?

Would love to follow. But not, you know, over there.

That looks great! I‘ve been playing around with Aframe and OSM building footprints, but this looks so much better. Will have a look at aframe-loader-3dtiles-component.

twitter only shows the first tweet if you're not logged in, can you post the repo here

Could you provide a link here to your code repo for those of us not on xitter?
