Description

Hi,

I recently noticed Terrain Tiles are hosted on S3, by Mapzen: https://aws.amazon.com/public-datasets/terrain/. I'm trying to add support for this, using the Terrarium format.

I gave it a go at https://github.com/YousefED/cesium/commits/mapzen-tiles-terrarium, but getting stuck with the following result:

Probably missing something obvious for you guys, I'm new to the internals of Cesium / 3d engines.

Thanks,

Research direction

Start with the linked YousefED/cesium mapzen-tiles-terrarium commit, then read the AWS Terrain Tiles page and the Terrarium-format context in the issue. Done means Cesium can load the Mapzen Terrain Tiles dataset in Terrarium format without the reported result; no source file or test is named.
