Andrew Harvey has created an impressive demonstration overlaying a 3D model on transcend of a Mapbox GL map. His Add a 3D Model to a Mapbox GL JS Map places a 3D model of a radio telescope on transcend of an interactive map.
Adding a 3D model to a Mapbox GL map allows the user to thought the model from lots of dissimilar angles. If you lot right-click on the map you lot tin dismiss rotate closed to the model too conform the angle of view. While Andrew hasn't done it alongside his demo, you lot could likewise purpose the Flyto method inward Mapbox GL to animate closed to or zoom inward too out on the model on the map.
The 3D model inward Andrew's map uses the glTF file format for 3D scenes too models. This is a good used format too in that location are enough of freely available glTF files of 3D models on the internet. If you lot desire to experiment alongside adding other 3D models to Mapbox GL too therefore you lot are spoiled for alternative of gear upwards made 3D objects (for illustration assay Sketchfab).
You tin dismiss likewise purpose glTF 3D models alongside the Cesium WebGL 3d footing engine. To dice started you lot should cheque out the Cesium 3D Models tutorial. Or, if you lot desire to outflow guide to a working 3D footing alongside 3D model, convey a await at the 3D models sandcastle.
For the 3D models tutorial Cesium created a release of 3D models, including a plane, a milktruck too a hot-air balloon. If you lot wanted you lot could assay overlaying these on a Mapbox GL interactive map.
