Perhaps both. The thought of users being able to make their own renderings is
very intruiging. Not that we'd necessarily let just any visitor do it, but at
least those who are contributing or otherwise interested could make customized
views.
I envision a overhead map of Datsville with gridlines. A user picks x,z
coordinates from the map and types in the desired height (or chooses from a
cross-section) for camera and lookat positions, then sets the thing cranking.
The image is then converted to .jpg, and made available on a web page for the
user and others to view/download.
Then of course there's always VRML.
