3 years ago We'd love to fix the sun, stars, and atmosphere in Metal. What's holding us back is that none of our clients or support customers need them.
Now we do things that aren't paid for occasionally, but there are a lot of projects in the queue ahead of those.
So if we had a support customer who wanted them, we'd get them working again.
Hi,
Thanks for creating such an amazing product, so far I had a blast getting it to work thanks to the step-by-step tutorials and most features I could think of I needed were already implemented, like clustering. Saved me a ton of time there, really appreciated. Now I'm trying to do the final polish of the map and I'm running into some issues getting features like atmosphere, sun and stars working. I did see some applications for iOS that use these features but if I look into some comments in the code they are still
TODO://for Metal, so I assume they're still on 2.x.So based upon what you know now, what would be the rough timeframe these features will be re-added to the iOS version? Should I stick to 3.0 or downgrade to 2.x if I (or "the product team") really needs them?. I'm not very eager to build my app upon a technology that has already been deprecated for 2 versions of course instead of the latest greatest and fastest but if it looks like the best option for now I will.
I tried to find something like a roadmap but I couldn't, apologies if I missed a blogpost where you did.
