MapsSDK-Unity VS sprite-glow

https://github.com/microsoft/MapsSDK-Unity is the one for unity and it is MIT licensed along with https://github.com/microsoft/MapsSDK-Native for android and ios. This would make it a lot easier to do many things and its already open source so licensing/copyright shouldn't be an issue. The unity one is in C# but I haven't done much of that so I don't know how easy it would be to port even if you needed the mono version to use it.

The addon works but its fundamentally flawed since the data it gets is from google maps with LOD, so anything that isn't directly next to the camera is very bad quality. The only way I can see to get around it is to make a custom application that doesn't use the LOD system and only gets the high quality models and textures but I haven't been able to find any that does that. It isn't impossible to create and the code is probably written in javascript so definitely can be done though likely time consuming. The blender gis addon does have osm buildings but they aren't the right shape and many are missing and they don't have textures. I found something that should be nearly identical to Microsoft flight simulator https://github.com/microsoft/MapsSDK-Unity but it doesn't seem like it exports 3d models easily.

https://github.com/Elringus/SpriteGlow is what we used. It requires post-processing to be enabled. Not really a true lighting effect, more like glow outline.

I glad you like it! This is a combination of 2-3 effects. First I highly recommend this package from github: https://github.com/Elringus/SpriteGlow It is a good source for creating sprite glow. The other effects are mostly post-processing effects like bloom and chromatic aberration. Last but not least I have made screen shake.
