It would be great if GroundPrimitive supported the use of a material with a texture from an image, and that this image/texture could be updated fast (for example, updating the texture with frames from a video, at least 30 frames per second)
A request that keeps coming up for us is the addition of a scale control. The ability to add a scale that indicates distance for the current zoom level and the ability to specify the unit of measure would be great.
Hi,
At first, thanks to this awesome project, I learn many skills from that. I’m very looking forward to the vector tiles, and now I do a little on that, but looks terrible… I want to know when the work on vector tiles will be finished?
first, I have to admit, that your software is really awesome. I recently joined a project in my company, that uses cesium and I must say, that I am pretty impressed. What I would really like to see is webvr support for devices like the HTC Vive. I know that webvr is at an early stage, but I figured that if you have already partly implemented WebVR for the use with cardboard, wouldn't it be relatively easy to remove the restrictions to other devices?
No one expects perfect results, but seeing the world through a Vive or Rift would be pretty impressive.
I'd love to see a focus on repairing Cesium's bread & butter map functionality. Labels and 2D shapes seem to be particularly neglected areas. For example, the label Sandcastle should be able to use smaller Google Maps-sized fonts instead of the giant font currently used. Unfortunately, in Cesium's current state, decreasing the font size exposes rendering bugs and readability issues.
Additionally, no Sandcastles demonstrate the ability to create filled 2D areas with labels, again because this is buggy, often exhibiting z-fighting. To me, labeling a drawn area seems like an incredibly common use case, and it's disappointing to see that Cesium doesn't handle it well.
Otherwise you can build this functionality into your own app like the open source TerriaJS does, which is built on CesiumJS, example: https://nsw.digitaltwin.terria.io/
