CesiumJS 1.81 is now available with various bug fixes. Highlights of the release include: 

  • Fixed an issue where Camera.flyTo would not work properly with a non-WGS84 Ellipsoid. 
  • Fixed an issue where setting the ViewportQuad rectangle after creating the viewport had no effect.
  • Fixed an issue where TypeScript was not picking up type defintions for ArcGISTiledElevationTerrainProvider.

See the changelog for a full list of updates and links to the discussion & code on each one. You can also subscribe to the CesiumJS release thread on our community forum to get notifications about our monthly releases.

We’re all about open standards and interoperability so you can get the 3D data you need when and where you need it.

This month we’ve got our eye on integrations that make that easier. Looking for high res photogrammetry? Whether you’re creating your own reality meshes with Bentley’s ContextCapture or using city-size models captured by Aerometrex, through Cesium ion you can stream the data you need into CesiumJS or Cesium for Unreal.
