[OSGeo-Discuss] Open Source Viewer for 3D Maps

[Landon Blake]

I'm curious if anyone knows of a decent open source viewer for 3D maps.
Does such a viewer exist? How widespread is its adoption?

 

I know that Adobe PDF has become a fairly common way to share 2D maps
digitally, but I didn't see a lot on the web about a PDF solution for 3D
maps. If you build 3D maps and models as part of your work, how do you
share them with your clients and the wider public?

 

Thank you for your thoughts.

P.S. - Here are a couple of links I ran across for what appear to be
open file formats for 3D models. I'm not sure how applicable they would
be to 3D maps:
