Let’s jump right in to three.js plane buffer geometry. Three.js offers a buffer geometry object which is a simple array of height maps, much like our binary file we used from the SRTM data. Compared to the normally used plane geometry, buffer geometry uses much less overhead and is significantly faster if the object does […]
1 arc second SRTM Data was made [publicly available] (http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/srtm/) by NASA a few months ago. SRTM Data is collected by the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission.
