## What it is
A JavaScript library that renders OGC 3D Tiles tilesets using Three.js, Babylon.js, or React Three Fiber. It supports most of the 3D Tiles specification, including b3dm and glTF content, with a plugin system and examples for Mars terrain and Google Photorealistic Tiles.

## Use cases
- render 3D Tiles tilesets in a three.js scene
- display Cesium Ion or Google Photorealistic 3D tiles in the browser
- visualize Mars rover terrain reconstructions in WebGL
- stream large b3dm/glTF tilesets with level-of-detail
- add 3D Tiles support to a Babylon.js application
- build a React Three Fiber geospatial 3D viewer
- render 3D tiles in VR

## When to choose
- you need 3D Tiles rendering inside Three.js, Babylon.js, or R3F rather than CesiumJS
- you want a lightweight, npm-installable tileset renderer with plugin support
- you're visualizing geospatial or planetary tilesets in a custom WebGL app

## When to avoid
- you need a full CesiumJS-style globe with terrain and imagery out of the box
- your project doesn't use Three.js, Babylon.js, or React Three Fiber
- you need 3D Tiles features explicitly listed as unimplemented in the milestone
