World Wind 1.4.1 Notes

From World Wind Wiki

Projects for 1.4.1 World Wind Code

What_Nick:

• dstile GUI
• better models
• more ingrained time support
• QTS-T
  • ie quadtilesets with time stamp

stepman (stephan mantler):

• download management (substantial changes)
  • already in progress, but terrain support is causing major headaches
• more flexible rendering (experimental)
  • extended shader support
  • separation of texture & terrain data
    • allow rendering of higher-res textures with lower res terrain data and vice versa (also see download management *sigh* )
    • addresses various rendering artefacts
  • will probably be through a separate entity ("QuadTile2"), switchable at startup time? (ie. loader allocates layer definitions as either QuadTileSet or QuadTile2Set)

withak

• File -> Load... gui
• reorganize menus?
• gui option to bump renderables up or down in the layer list
  • maybe make the reordering permanent
