Is it possible to output CESIUM Terrain files from GeoTiff

I am trying to generate CESIUM terrain files to be able to serve files locally offline. I am currently testing with data from maps Canadas HRDEM (https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/957782bf-847c-4644-a757-e383c0057995) they provide a index file and directory of GeoTiff files. I need to convert this to CESIUM terrain tiles. Can FME do this or does it only do visualization for things "on" the terrain such as buildings etc.

Hi @georgeschweizer​ ,

 

It's currently not possible to write Cesiume terrain files. I'd recommend upvoting this idea if you haven't already. (Internal reference: FMEENGINE-57112).

 

One possible workaround would be to take the GeoTIFF, produce a DEM from the raster and then write the DEM as a regular 3D object Cesium tileset.

 

Hope this helps!

Andrea
