Wow, Martini looks really interesting! I did some research about mesh simplification and had some success using https://github.com/zeux/meshoptimizer. Meshoptimizer is in c++ so I had to use the Rust wrapper https://github.com/gwihlidal/meshopt-rs and compile it to wasm. I actually opensourced this code at https://github.com/blaze33/dem2mesh, just have to use dem2mesh.png2mesh which given a png data, computes the heightmap, builds a mesh, simplifies it and return the data to javascript. (can be tricky though to deal with wasm)
In Show HN: Map33.js – a library to build 3D maps with Three.js
