# 3d-tiles-renderer
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/3d-tiles-renderer)
[](https://github.com/NASA-AMMOS/3DTilesRendererJS/actions)
JavaScript renderer implementation for the [3D Tiles format](https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/3d-tiles/blob/master/specification/) with support for both **Three.js** and **Babylon.js**. The renderer supports most of the 3D Tiles spec features with a few exceptions. For a list of available data sets and generation tools see the [3d Tiles resources](https://github.com/CesiumGS/3d-tiles/blob/main/RESOURCES.md) list.
If a tileset or geometry does not load or render properly please make an issue! Example data is needed for adding and testing features. See the [Feature Complete Milestone](https://github.com/NASA-AMMOS/3DTilesRendererJS/milestone/1) for information on which features are not yet implemented.
