The tile content in a 3D Tiles tileset represents the renderable content of a tile. It is referred to with the content.uri of the tile JSON.
The primary tile format in 3D Tiles 1.1 is the glTF Tile Format. It is built on glTF 2.0 and allows modeling many different use cases and different forms of renderable content in 3D Tiles.
The following tile formats have been part of 3D Tiles 1.0, and have been superseded by the glTF Tile Format.
| Legacy Format | Uses |
|---|---|
Heterogeneous 3D models |
|
3D model instances |
|
Massive number of points |
|
Concatenate tiles of different formats into one tile |
See the migration guide for further information about how these use cases can be modeled based on the glTF tile format.
