I [mentioned](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/cesium-dev/gpu%2420pro%24204/cesium-dev/Aajyq-prfqs/6WByNSypf9MJ) a while back that Dan and I were writing a Cesium-related chapter for GPU Pro 4. There is a [short post](http://gpupro.blogspot.com/2012/11/gpu-pro-4-webgl-globe-rendering-pipeline.html) on our chapter, A WebGL Globe Rendering Pipeline, on the GPU Pro 4 blog. Sounds like the book is on schedule to be released in March. Although I haven’t seen the table of contents, the initial call for authors said that the book would emphasize browser-based rendering techniques so there should be a lot of good stuff in it.

Regards,

Patrick

Just an update that GPU Pro 4 is now available with a [chapter](http://gpupro.blogspot.com/2012/11/gpu-pro-4-webgl-globe-rendering-pipeline.html) on some early rendering techniques in Cesium. Congrats to Dan on his first publication.

If you haven’t already seen, we maintain a list of [presentations and publications](http://cesium.agi.com/publications.html) on the Cesium website.

Hi Wilson,

I don’t have much time to look over your code, but here is our fragment shader:
