Draping Imagery over 3D Tiles in CesiumJS 

With the release of CesiumJS 1.130, users can drape imagery layers on 3D Tiles, allowing developers more freedom to combine geospatial data from different sources. Reality meshes, CAD/BIM data, and point clouds can be uploaded to Cesium ion and converted into 3D Tiles for efficient streaming and visualization. Now, imagery data like Bing Maps imagery or OpenStreetMap imagery can be layered on top, creating more powerful 3D geospatial applications. This addition addresses a long-standing community request and supports a wide range of use cases.
