Example of 3D tiles


Data Sources
============

Currently, QGIS supports two formats of 3D tiles:

* `Cesium 3D tiles <https://cesium.com/why-cesium/3d-tiles/>`_,
used primarily for complex 3D models of buildings or whole cities.
Such datasets can be provided by cloud-based platforms such as Cesium Ion
or Google (*Photorealistic 3D Tiles*).
* `Quantized Mesh tiles <https://github.com/CesiumGS/quantized-mesh>`_,
used for terrain elevation data.

See :ref:`3d_tiles` for instructions on how to add these data sources to QGIS.

Using data from Cesium ion
--------------------------

*Cesium ion* is a cloud-based platform for managing and streaming 3D geospatial
data. It simplifies data management, visualisation and sharing. To add 3D tiles
from Cesium ion, you need to first sign up to their service
here: https://ion.cesium.com.

You can also use Cesium ion plugin from the QGIS repository
to add the data to QGIS.

Using Google 3D data
--------------------

To use Google Photorealistic 3D tiles in QGIS, get an API key for 3D tiles.
Once you have the key, simply add Google tiles using the same
connection process.
