Hey folks,
I just submitted a pull request for the “imagery_layers” branch:
https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/pull/286
From the pull request:
Adds the ability to layer imagery from multiple sources and adjust the alpha of each independently. It also has a new architecture for rendering the surface of the globe that is a big step toward rendering terrain. For starters, check out the two new Sandcastle apps: “Imagery Layers” and “Map Projections”.
Most of the action happens (or at least starts) in CentralBodySurface.js. If you want to understand how it works, the (four line) update function is the place to start.
There is no shortage of additional things that could be done, but I think this is a significant improvement from master and is worthy of a review.
This branch represents 379 commits over 3 months. If you have some time to take a look at the code and provide us feedback, Scott and I would really appreciate it. Once everyone has had a chance to review and the code has been updated based on the feedback, we’ll merge the pull request and the imagery layers functionality will be available in master.
Thanks,
Kevin
