I use wgpu (based on WebGPU) and generating the vertices myself based on the polylines data I get from OSM so I can pretty much do what I want! I added a miter join and already much better thanks

Meanwhile the roads in my OpenStreetMap renderer are just rectangles pieced together!
I wonder what the best next improvement is that I could make, these rectangles were the easiest thing I could think of but of course very ugly

The frontend now knows what I picked in the backend! Not a lot of info to show though but that's fine

It works! I can select individual features 😀
Now let's integrate this with some nice UI on the web, thanks to WASM

Trying to add GPU-based object picking this evening to my map data renderer. The idea is to render each building with their unique ID and then read the pixel value under the mouse to know which object it belonged to (in theory 😀)

From last June! Sadly I didn’t have to go so just took a picture

Added some profiling to my map renderer so I can see what needs optimizing 👀⚡ A lot!

Added most land types! This means water/parks/roads/sand etc. 🌳
Next: a sky!
Also need to do some performance improvements since all tiles stay rendered and in-memory right now.

Continued working on the OpenStreetMap renderer!
Added building heights + some nicer shading using a gradient. Next is water and roads! Maybe a sky?

Outlined rendering style I played around with a while ago, aiming for high fidelity where every line is intentional, no noise

Skiing under the northern lights. Core memory unlocked. Nature is amazing.

Great sky shader, I wonder how performant it is, looks realtime

Not much for now! Just technically interesting to me. I did this a while ago in Unity but now I'm building the renderer from scratch.

New side project! A 3D renderer based on OpenStreetMap data.
data gets streamed in tile-by-tile as I move around and together with some triangulation the buildings are generated
Next: occlusion culling, correct building heights, roads, bodies of water
Also runs in the browser through WASM

Norway and Sweden will be added soon ❄️
This map is basically just a radius around where I live 😄

Congratulations! It can get hectic! I've been using these tags in Discord to keep track of what still needs my attention and what is fixed. So nice that Discord kan be used for free for this.

Ah you worked on the Berlin Apartment, gorgeous game, congratulations on release!!
The 'another texture' do you just sample that texture directly? What's the resolution? Is it a single big texture for the whole game or per-model? I did some experiments with SDFs stored in smaller textures

Playing around with the idea of 'edge detection LODS' by adding more line detail the closer you are.

Testing my realtime outline shader on a quick 3D recreation of the original art by @mellific.bsky.social
Lots of details of the original scene are missing, but happy to see this come together so quickly! Will refine later :)
