How can I add a 3d object as a marker on Google Maps like Uber does
I want to add a 3d marker for showing cars on map with rotation like Uber does but I can't find any information on adding 3d objects on Google Maps SDK for iOS.
Would appreciate any help.
Apparently no one is seeing what OP and I are seeing so here's a video of a Uber car turning 90 degrees. Play it frame by frame and you'll notice that it's not a simple image rotation. Either Uber went through the trouble of doing ~360 angles of each vehicles, or it really is a 3D model. Doing 360 images of every car seems foolish to me.
Uber just released a blog post documenting this.
It looks like the vehicles were modeled in 3D software and then image assets depicting different angles were exported for the app. Depending on where the vehicle is on the map and its heading then a different asset is used.
