A C# library for processing digital elevation models with 3D terrain generation, elevation queries, and intervisibility reports.
DEM.Net is a C# library for processing Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), enabling developers to query elevation data, generate 3D terrain models, and create intervisibility reports. It solves the problem of accessing and manipulating elevation data from various sources like SRTM and AW3D30 datasets. The library supports multiple output formats and integrates with imagery services for textured 3D exports.
Developers and researchers working with geospatial data, 3D terrain modeling, or elevation analysis in C# applications, such as GIS software, simulation tools, or mapping services.
Developers choose DEM.Net for its no-setup approach, automatic DEM file downloads, and optimized queries, making it a fast and accessible solution for elevation data processing without requiring complex infrastructure.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Automatically downloads DEM files from openTopography.org and other sources, reducing manual data handling as highlighted in the key features.
Supports input formats like GeoTIFF, HGT, and netCDF, and exports to glTF and STL, offering flexibility in data processing and 3D model creation.
Integrates with MapBox, OSM, and Stamen for textured 3D models and normal maps, enhancing realism in exports as noted in the README.
Prioritizes ease of use with a streamlined API and no complex setup, allowing quick integration into C# projects per the philosophy.
The SampleApp is described as 'messy and lacks documentation,' which can hinder learning and implementation for new users.
Restricted to personal use or small companies under $100,000 annually, requiring contact for commercial use, limiting scalability and adoption.
As a C# library, it's not cross-platform for other programming languages, which may limit integration in diverse tech stacks.
