[mapserver-users] opensource software for 3d gis

[pcreso at pcreso.com]

Hi,

Try OpenDX, or the VTK libraries for full 3D & interactive/animated capabilities. GMT can draw nice 3D maps, but is not interactive, but scripted. GRASS has nviz, & there are other packages like viz5D.

Conventional raster images used with GIS are not 3D, so you need to drape them over a 3D object.

Cheers,
