I can't get the vector basemap to render in QGIS properly with any other projection. I love using EPSG:3301 for Europe, etc.. but loads of strange things happen. Even 4326 is an issue.
I got set for my son after noticing he loves stacking Jenga blocks and generic Kapla gets 10x more usage than Lego.
Can it be that the moment Lego moved from mostly bricks to custom single use shapes for every kit the joy of combining them died? My kids build car, Dino, Harry Potter set once and then gather dust. Bridges, castles, towers and roads from Kapla get rebuild every day.
When I was young there were fewer types of shapes but a lot of new sets contained a lot of such specialized shapes. I rather played with the lego i found in the attic.
My kid builds the specialized sets, and also makes houses and other structures out of basic brick pieces. But he rarely combines the two like I remember doing.
I remember having an airplane and an airport. I built them once, played with them for a while, and then broke them down to add to the pool of bricks which I built into other things.
Can't wait to see how charts are going to look like here on the project we have developed for Maintel https://variable.io/maintel-digital-landscape/. It shows availability across multiple services as a landscape. Expecting to see a lot of spikes tomorrow.
Filement is full blown renderer (with shadows, advanced materials, effects like transparency, postprocessing) with platform abstractions. IGL has only the platform abstractions and the rest is left as an exercise for the reader.
If you are on Mac then there is one called Muse (https://museapp.com/) by the authors of the site in this thread and it's as smooth as you would expect.
