MapLibre Terrain Rendering
Hillshade, color-relief, contours and 3D terrain
MapLibre · MIT
When
Drawing elevation once a raster-dem source works — hillshade methods, color-relief layer, the elevation expression, runtime contours via maplibre-contour, 3D terrain camera and sky.
The Catch
Skills MIT (LICENSE.md); MapLibre GL JS is BSD-3-Clause. Free, no account, no token — but MapLibre only renders: you bring the tiles (self-hosted PMTiles on static storage, or a third-party tile host with its own caps and pricing). Young repo; only verified skills are listed. You still need a DEM source (Terrarium/Mapbox-RGB tiles) — hosted DEM tiles carry their own limits.
