The "3d-tiles" renderer is slowly becoming "any tiled data" renderer - newly added support for WMTS tiled images brings a whole new world of mapping data to #threejs. Including the massive catalogue of data from NASA GIBS!

Looks like CesiumJS just released a new Martian data set on Cesium Ion! Controls and rendering work out-of-the-box with 3d-tiles-renderer, as well. Mars rover integration coming... someday? 🤖

I was at @NASAJPL to watch Curiosity send back that first image. It's the last time I applauded at a press conference, then filed my copy, and got wankered at 2am with other journos.

The landing seemed impossible but NASA nailed it. Happy solar orbit day to the rover that could.
