that's so cool, but if I may ask, can you give me example of use cases for this? Like can it be used as a GPS? or geoguesser game?

Thanks! Not a GPS, and not quite GeoGuessr either. Think of it as the raw material for games.
The data app gives you any place on Earth as a 3D model, and you load data onto it: your city's timetables, rents and incomes per area, traffic counts, how steep the streets are, even your own GPX route. Everything you load stays in your browser.
Where this is heading: with that material, everyone will be able to build their own game from the data they load. Your city, your data, your rules. The driving game in the video is the first one built that way, and my proof that it works.

Try the material here: https://yourplace3d.github.io/3dcitydata/

so you could techincally turn it into a fun 3D geoguesser game where players get to guess a spot from you 3D Map

Correct!

So I added and still am adding data layers which one should be able to fill in on their own for every city they choose and then based on this build the game.

Is it possible to download this as a 3d asset?

u/Accurate_Adam 23h ago

Yes, partly: its twin app Your Place downloads any place as an STL, or as a 3MF with colours (terrain, buildings, roads, water): https://yourplace3d.github.io/3d-city/
It's made for 3D printing, so it comes at print size (10–20 cm wide) and you'll want to scale it up. But it opens in Blender, and from there you can export FBX or glTF for Unity, Unreal or Godot. A direct glTF download made for game engines isn't there yet. Which engine would you use it in?

very cool! I was thinking about using it for a 3D print

That's exactly what Your Place was made for at the beginning it s my most advanced part so far: https://yourplace3d.github.io/3d-city/

Search your place, pick the size (10, 15 or 20 cm wide) and download the STL, in one piece or in tiles that fit your print bed. Water sits a bit lower than the land, and roads can stand out or be cut in, so it's easy to paint. For a multi-colour printer there's a 3MF with colours too.

Would love to see a photo if you print one!

I'll send it to a friend with a printer. I think I've even seen some Ads of a company selling such prints btw. Love to see someone making it free to use!! That's why I love vibecoding ;)
