al3dtiles

High-performance 3D Tiles v1.0/v1.1 reader, parser and converter (Cython + C++).

Features (v0.1)

• Zero-copy GLB/B3DM container parsing (C++ mmap)
• One-line GLB chunk0 JSON extraction
• Meshopt + KTX2 decompression to Blender-readable GLB (via almeshopt + alktx2)
• 3D Tiles tileset traversal (v1.0/v1.1, 3DTILES_content_gltf)
• C++ multi-threaded tileset JSON prefetch (std::thread pool + simdjson) with thin Python wrappers
• Multi-threaded batch helpers

Quick start

import al3dtiles as t

t.extract_glb_json("content/1.glb", "out/1.json")
t.decompress_glb("content/1.glb", "out/1_blender.glb")

import al3dtiles as t

ds = t.TilesetDataset.open(r"Z:\...\tileset.json")

# 惰性解析：构造时不扫树，首次访问时才加载（C++ 线程池并行预取 JSON）
root = ds.tree(show_progress=True)          # 需要 transform / 树结构时
items = ds.contents()     # 扁平 content 列表（同一 C++ 并行引擎）

# 导出（默认：套用级联 transform，ECEF 真实位置，接近 Cesium）
ds.export_common_glb("4293.glb", r"E:\out\4293_world.glb")

# keep_enu=True：仅 decompress，保持 tile 局部坐标（原逻辑）
ds.export_common_glb("4293.glb", r"E:\out\4293_local.glb", keep_enu=True)

import al3dtiles as t

# 质检单体元数据（QC3DMETA v1）：遍历叶子节点 → 每单体 bbox + footprint + 网格桶
# 输出与 tileset.json 同级的 tileset.quality-meta.bin.zst（zstd level 3）
result = t.create_alcheck_metadata(r"D:\Data\...\tileset.json")
print(result.feature_count, result.elapsed_ms)
