Show HN: 2D Isometric Editor

That looks nice but without any instructions on how to install it or generate that sample—or even what format of data it wants for the elevation data—I'm not really sure what kind of useful comment I can make on the project itself.

I wonder whether the Dwarf Fortress user community would find that useful. Certainly the code could be repurposed..

That's really nice. And reminds me about this thing[0] I made when Firefox 3D view was available.

Wow, this is closely related to what I was thinking of doing.

Tracks in the racing simulator Assetto Corsa are simple 3D model files that have had a few hand modified additions using the editor distributed by the developers.

I wanted to take Elevation data and turn it into a big file of polygons, and then lay a road on top of that using freely available shapefiles that describe roadways, giving the user a smoother surface to drive on. I could either texture polygons using some land use data from the same shapefiles, or using satellite imagery.

Nice! Here's an interesting idea:

You could use a grayscale height map and apply textures based on relative or absolute height. Tallest point on the map? Must be a mountain. Cluster of points lower than the mean or median? Could be a lake or river.

Essentially, it would emulate real world feature distributions.

The foreshortening seems off. The taller mountain is much taller when at the back, but roughly the same height as the other when at the front.

Just a small concern; looks pretty cool!

Neat. Would be useful as a Unity plugin which might not be to hard to achieve as it’s already written in C#.

cocos2d-x mobile game engine (www.cocos2d-x.org) might benefit from developers being able to export to it.

Looks really cool, how can I run it?

What frameworks are you using? Having some trouble fitting VueSJ and ThreeJS together. COuld be curious to know your approach

Any way to run on OSX?
