Cesium Version 1.22 Released

We are happy to announce the release of Cesium 1.22. This is the fiftieth public release of Cesium, which began with version b5, released in May 2012.

This release includes some major visual quality improvements such as:

  • Shadows, including self-shadows and soft-shadows for terrain, 3D models, and geometries, based on the sun position.
  • Improved atmosphere, with day/night fade and hue/saturation/brightness color adjustment.
  • 3D models can now be used in 2D maps.

For more details and the full list of changes, see the change log.
