Information that an 3D object is being loaded #236

Closed clementcolin closed 1 year ago

clementcolin commented 3 years ago

Currently, there is no feedback for the user that a tile is being loaded. That can be frustrating, especially when a heavy tile (with a lot of geometry or texture) is being loaded.

What can be done :

[ ] Add a billboard or a specific 3D object at the center of the extent that represents loading.

This feature may be of interest for Itowns, thus, may be implemented directly in it

itowns seems to have a way to detect when something is loaded since in their examples there is a kind of loading screen. related to #479

EDIT: see

itowns does not provide the API to know when a 3DTiles content is requested. Propose a PR to itowns to do so. The code should code there

Then implement in SideBarWidget this enhancement
