Three constructors turn satellite imagery into a 3D city, each on its default settings, under one sun.

  • GLSurfaces finds the water and the parks under the imagery from the map’s own tiles, moves the harbour and grows 3D trees in the imagery’s colours.
  • Buildings3D raises the base map’s footprints with walls and roofs of their own, as satellite has no 3D buildings to take colours from.
  • Landmarks3D adds the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House.
  • The view.light knobs of StylingFoundationsModule place one sun for all three, ahead of the camera, so the near water glints.
