OpenStreetMap
Over the last few weeks I have been looking at 3D rendering of OpenStreetMap data. Much of the focus has been on the old town of Dunkeld in Perthshire, Scotland.
I learn iteratively combining trial and error with reading documentation. Different rendering options like demo-f4map.com and Kendriz3D plugin in JOSM provide my informational feedback loop. The former is easier to use but the Kendriz3D plugin is quicker to see the updates I make.

Do post some links!
I did a few oddly-shaped buildings in my area a few months ago, if you’re looking for examples.

I think OSM2World can be used to get quicker local rendering of 3D features (at least, so I learnt recently from this video by @b-unicycling ).

Quick comment for people reading this post and wanting to use
kendzi3d:At the time of writing, the Kendzi3d plugin works on Java 8 only (and not at all on Mac). There is a version which works on Java 9+ (and Mac) called
kendzi3d-dev. If you installkendzi3d-dev, please be aware that it is intended to be short term workaround (I was hoping to get it merged intokendzi3ditself last week, but there are a few niggling issues). Whenkendzi3d-devis removed from the JOSM plugin list, you will not be automatically migrated tokendzi3d. I may be able to add an informational dialog indicating that users should switch tokendzi3d, but you should not count on it.Comment from JamJar II on 5 April 2022 at 20:31
Thanks for the comments. Those example buildings will help!
Regarding java on the Mac (Monterrey), I am getting ok results invoking via Terminal and using
java -jar OSM2World.jar
or
java -jar –add-modules ALL-SYSTEM josm-tested.jar
Java version:
