About this technology
Overview
3D Tiles is an emerging standard for describing and storing large 3D models as a series of tiles at various levels of detail. These tiles are broken up according to a space partitioning graph. This enables rendering clients to download only the tiles needed to saturate the resolution of a client devices display. This gives the illusion of downloading and rendering the entire 3D model but only requires a small portion of it be downloaded and displayed by the client device at any given time.
