Regression caused rendering issue for cubemaps (but not multires) when CSS
fallback render was used. The regression was introduced as an optimization in
5eab5366f6.
Spherical harmonic transform (SHT) previews are display instead of a solid
background color before the base multires tiles are loaded. If a thumbnail is
provided, it will be displayed instead of the SHT preview. If the thumbnail is
provided as a Base64-encoded string, the SHT preview may be briefly displayed,
since image loading is asynchronous, while the SHT preview is loaded
synchronously.
I'm using an 3rd party tool to produce the tiles for the faces - it offers 4 patterns for file and folder hirarchy/naming but all start at level 0.
This is an easy fix that may come handy for others as well.
* Use typed arrays where possible to reduce heap usage by more than half,
which greatly reduces number of frames dropped due to garbage collection.
* Synchronize texture loading to rendering, which avoids dropped frames caused
by texture loading happening just before rendering event was going to fire.
* Reduce number of WebGL calls by eliminating unneeded binding and by not
rendering tiles that are completely obscured by higher resolution tiles.
For some reason, Chrome returns incorrect element sizes when the
`fullscreenchange` fires after leaving full screen when using the Video.js
plugin. It seems the event fires before the element is properly sized. Using a
ResizeObserver on the container element fixes this issue.
Multiple people have now opened issues in other languages, so I guess I need
to be explicit. I thought it was obvious that English should be used given
that all the documentation is written in English, but apparently it isn't.
* pannellum.js | possible improvement
startAutoRotate = function(speed, pitch, hfov)
Use case:
1. by using "getPitch()" and "getHfov()" as parameter you can just rotate your panorama with the current view.
2. if origHfov is set to a small value (eg. to start with a highlight inside a big panorama) you still can use startAutoRotate with a wider view
* Update pannellum.js
