Martin Thanks for the clarification. We look forward to seeing better 3D support more integrated into Qgis. Without good 3D support people here keep moving back to commercial software. Unfortunately as far as i can see PostGIS supports 3D vector and 3D point clouds 2D raster but not 3D rast

Hi Syd The idea is to have support for proper 3D meshes/volumes, not just 2.5D geometries. The initial work should introduce interface for 3D renderers (somehow similar to 2D renderers we have now) allowing generation of arbitrary meshes and associated materials from input data (which could be 2D
