MVT to OBJ Conversion
What are MVT files?
MVT (Mapbox Vector Tile) is a compact binary file that contains one square piece of a map, a tile, as vector data instead of a picture. A web map is built from many such tiles, and each of them holds the roads, rivers, buildings, borders, and labels that fall into its square, as points, lines, and polygons with a few attributes such as a name or a road class. Because the data are vectors, the map stays sharp at any zoom level, can be restyled or rotated in the browser, and downloads quickly. The format was created by Mapbox and has become a standard way to serve maps on the web, and the specification recommends the .mvt extension, although such tiles are often saved as .pbf.
What are OBJ files?
OBJ is a 3D model format created by Wavefront Technologies for its Advanced Visualizer software and now supported by almost every 3D application, which makes it one of the most common formats for exchanging models. A file of this type is plain text that describes the shape of an object: the coordinates of its vertices, the texture coordinates used for UV mapping, the surface normals, and the faces that join them into polygons. Named groups divide a model into separate parts. Colors and materials are not stored in the file itself but in a separate .mtl file that it refers to, with the texture images kept alongside. The format holds a static model only, with no animation, bones, or lights.
