What it does
Procedural GL JS is a library for creating 3D map experiences on the web, written in JavaScript and WebGL. It is built on top of THREE.js . It provides an easy-to-use, but powerful framework to allow beautiful landscapes of the outdoors to be embedded into web pages. It loads super-fast and is optimized for mobile devices. To actually load data using a library you will need to connect to a source of data. The quickest way to get setup is to register for a free account with MapTiler and then use the API key as shown above. If this library is useful to you, please consider sponsoring the project. Procedural GL JS is licensed under the Mozilla Public License Version 2.0from procedural.eu
