3D OSM Model 0.3.0 - Critical viewer fix, measurement, screenshots &
resilient download.
- Fixed a critical bug that left the web viewer stuck on an endless
loading spinner: a stray quote inside the Turkish interface strings
raised a syntax error that crashed the entire 3D module before it
could start. The viewer now boots reliably.
- The viewer now ships with a small bundled sample city, so it opens
as a populated 3D scene before you run any export (great for a first
look and for offline demos).
- New distance measurement tool: pick two points on the ground to read
the distance, with a live dashed preview and stackable segments.
- New one-click screenshot button saves a clean PNG of the current
view (UI hidden).
- New in-app Help & shortcuts overlay listing the mouse and keyboard
controls (bilingual).
- Added the required OpenStreetMap attribution credit ("©
OpenStreetMap contributors").
- More resilient OSM download: Overpass requests now fall back across
mirror servers automatically when the main endpoint is rate-limited or
slow.
- The plugin dialog remembers your last study-area source and maximum
area, and adds an "open viewer automatically after export" toggle.
- Fixed 2D overlay labels that never appeared because the label layer
was created but never drawn each frame.
3D OSM Model 0.2.0 - Unified salmon identity, golden hour & richer
dialog.
- One cohesive salmon-tinted grey theme now spans the QGIS dialog, the
web toolbar/panels and the 3D scene; the viewer chrome was previously
teal.
- Restored the Scene & Sun controls behind their own toolbar button:
time of day with quick presets, weather, light/dark theme, bloom and
shadow quality, camera bookmarks, plus a Life & traffic section
(traffic speed, car and pedestrian density).
- Leaner, OSM-focused interface: the Layer and Style docks now list
only what OpenStreetMap produces; removed the unused Mobility, Street
furniture, Fences, Analysis and Narrative panels and fixed the toolbar
button spacing.
- The scene opens at golden hour for warm, flattering massing.
- Redesigned the plugin dialog: header banner, grouped cards, a live
study-area estimate, a collapsible Advanced (DEM) section, and a
last-run summary with Open viewer and Open data folder buttons.
3D OSM Model 0.1.2 - Independent, decluttered interface.
- Rebranded the viewer as "3D OSM Model" with its own salmon-tinted
grey theme, separate from PlanX 3D City.
- Trimmed the toolbar to the essentials: Layers, Style, Model Studio,
Walk mode and Advanced; kept the minimap. Removed Scene, Mobility,
Street furniture, Fences, Analysis, Narrative, Slingshot and
Camera/recording controls.
3D OSM Model 0.1.1 - Lively scene defaults.
- Realistic trees, animated pedestrians and mixed traffic are now on
by default.
- Added a procedural vehicle factory with cars, vans, buses and trucks
(wheels, windows, head/brake lights); buses and trucks move a little
slower.
3D OSM Model 0.1.0 - Initial release.
- One-button workflow: select an area, download OSM, and open an
interactive 3D city viewer.
- Largest inscribed circle of the selection becomes the study boundary
with a solid base; extent capped at ~300 ha.
- Procedural roofs and facades (extra detail off by default),
procedural road traces, default 3 floors when level data is missing,
optional external DEM, salmon-tinted grey theme.
