3D Interactive World Map

I've been working for the past months on this world map 3D version.

https://brodgar.io/map/

It has data for last three worlds, missing some tiles for World 14 tho. I will be adding some features to it in the near future, but its challenging because of some limitations.

Limitations
Not working on mobile browsers.
Map data will be downloaded and cached while flying around. There are 3 different zoom levels, with the closest one being around 500MB. It may take some time to download, and the game could potentially freeze for a few seconds.
Worlds are big, and with a 2GB memory limit in the browser, it's advisable to wait for the map to update before moving too quickly, as doing otherwise could lead to memory errors and crashes.

Special thanks to
Delamore for his huge help with the mesh creation.
And everyone that shared his map with me, with a special mention to Alvar for his huge exploration.

If you change the world while it's still loading, it'll keep loading the old one, and then the new one on top of it.

Cool stuff anyway

Thanks! Had a hard time with those streaming assets and currently it requires to be patient for the map to finish updating or it could easily crash because out of memory, as I get it to a more stable version I will try to unlock more zoom levels and better loading

I'm speechless; this is such an amazing tool. It's like watching the game from a whole new perspective. I was able to find my homes, and it feels incredible to see all the surroundings like never before.

This is an amazing project—I hope you continue developing it and wish you the best with those "new features." I don't have the past worlds' data myself, but would you be able to add old maps if someone still has the data on their PC?

Added a message that shows map data download progress and included the camera coordinates in the URL, so now you can share links to exact places in the world

Look at this beautifull mountain valley

Or this random boring island i just found from World 13

Cool project, You don't have plans to make a version to run locally on PC?

i expect this data is already given to the client, just comes down to saving it all.
