referencing 3D Tiles on local machine...

[keince]

I'm trying to load a set of 3D Tiles on my local machine.

I'm using osgEarth Version: 3.7.3 build 178 on Windows.

I have the following in my earth file...

<CesiumIon3DTiles name="Konor Alaska data">
        <url>../../../Alaska-Elmendorf/refined_buildings/tileset.json</url>
</CesiumIon3DTiles>

I've also tried the following...

<CesiumIon3DTiles name="Konor Alaska data">
        <url>D:/Alaska-Elmendorf/refined_buildings/tileset.json</url>
</CesiumIon3DTiles>

In both cases, I get the following warning...

[osgearth warning] [EarthSerializer2] class osgEarth::CesiumIon3DTilesLayer "Konor Alaska data" : Resource unavailable: Error loading tileset:

Can someone tell me if I'm using the correct syntax or if it's not possible to load 3D Tiles on the local machine?

The CesiumIon3DTiles layer is only used for accessing 3d tiles via Cesium Ion. If you want to use the built in 3d tiles driver with a local dataset you can use the ThreeDTiles layer like this:

<ThreeDTiles name="Konor Alaska data">
        <url>../../../Alaska-Elmendorf/refined_buildings/tileset.json</url>
</ThreeDTiles >

You also can build against cesium native and use the that driver which should be better supported

<CesiumNative3DTiles name="Konor Alaska data">
	<url>../../../Alaska-Elmendorf/refined_buildings/tileset.json</url>
</CesiumNative3DTiles>

When I use

<CesiumNative3DTiles name="Konor Alaska data">
	<url>../../../Alaska-Elmendorf/refined_buildings/tileset.json</url>
</CesiumNative3DTiles>

I get the following error

[osgearth info] [EarthSerializer2] Failed to find an extension for "cesiumnative3dtiles_"

When I use

<ThreeDTiles name="Konor Alaska data">
        <url>../../../Alaska-Elmendorf/refined_buildings/tileset.json</url>
</ThreeDTiles>

I get the warning

[osgearth warning] [EarthSerializer2] class osgEarth::Contrib::ThreeDTilesLayer "Konor Alaska data" : Resource unavailable: Error loading tileset:

Try specifying the full path to the file instead of a relative path.

I found the problem. Once I added the line...

<libraries>osgEarthCesium</libraries>

in my earth file, it all started working.

Ah great, I forgot about that. Glad you figured it out!
