[Carto] 3D Views in MRI XML File

[Landon Blake]

I don't know if it is a good idea to start capturing 3d views in our MRI file. At least not yet. I think that would considerably rachet up the complexity. (I do like the idea of including 3D views on a map, just not sure if we are ready to tackle this problem yet.)

Bobb might be interested in Pov-Ray, which includes a file format and rendering engine for 3D scenes. It is open source.

If you think the 3D piece is approapriate, then a Point of View, or POV vector should also probably be added.  I'm working on some 3D printing experiments right now actually, that could play into things here, but it's getting away from the "Carto" topic, per se. 

My deal here, is not to limit the process, as in what would be the appropriate "Carto" topics as they relate to 3D representation, (or even 2-1/2D). 

These little (non-carto) pieces seem to be coming back into the discussion, and this is where my interest is mainly focused as well.

+1 looking good.  Some good suggestions too in your PDF.  Thinking about
your "level" comment, I wonder if providing a 3D bounding box would be
worthwhile, acting similar to the "section box" I've seen in some design
software.
