# vectiler
|Platform|Build Status|

|Windows|[](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/karimnaaji/vectiler/branch/master)|
A wavefront obj vector tile builder and exporter based on [mapzen](https://mapzen.com) [vector tiles](https://mapzen.com/projects/vector-tiles).
- build and export mesh in obj files based on tile coordinates (find your tiles of interest [here](http://www.maptiler.org/google-maps-coordinates-tile-bounds-projection/))
**export example**
- [sketchfab.com/e7ee1c](https://sketchfab.com/models/e7ee1c0047ce4b5dbc768adcf7a7264e)
- [sketchfab.com/693df3](https://sketchfab.com/models/693df3f9180942fba3f865e0d5ddc0ce)
**fetch submodules**
First initialize submodules by running:
```sh
$ git submodule update --init --recursive
```
**install dependencies (OS X)**
```sh
$ brew install cmake
```
**install dependencies (Linux)**
To build vectiler you will need a compiler that supports `c++11`, for example with `g++-4.9` on an ubuntu machine:
```
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install g++-4.9 cmake libcurl4-openssl-dev
```
**build (OS X/Linux)**
To build with cmake in a `build/` directory run the following:
```shell
cmake . -Bbuild
cmake --build build
```
**build (Windows)**
First install CMake for Windows and then run the following commands in a command line tool like MinGW:
```sh
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64"
$ cmake --build .
```
**usage**
```
