Adds scripts/gen_entries_stress.py to produce a large synthetic
dataset for performance testing, and notes the texture lazy-loading
plan in the README.
Replace eager texture generation with a reference-counted pool
that loads only the visible window and evicts unused pages, and
swap front/back mesh pairs for single meshes using a two-sided
material to halve draw calls. The timeline now drives its texture
window from the camera's visible world range each frame, and the
binder tracks a current-page window. Flip animations also finalize
immediately so rapid flips chain smoothly.
- Show a spinner overlay that fades out once Cesium globe
data is ready, with a 1s minimum and 8s timeout
- Expose a ready promise on CesiumGlobe resolved after country
and city data load
- Remove temporary inspect script
The globe container now uses a `visible` class instead of
`display`, allowing the Cesium viewer to be pre-created on page
load while remaining hidden until the geographic view is selected.
Add a generator script that produces the entries dataset, dedupe
entries sharing coordinates, and ship world city and country
GeoJSON assets for the globe view.
Make the timeline card spacing derive from entry count, move the
view switcher into the bottom bar, and align card and label fonts
with the timeline titles.
- Clamp binder/timeline zoom ranges and disable OrbitControls zoom,
using custom smooth zoom instead
- Disable middle/right mouse buttons; reduce rotate speed
- Fly camera to picked marker on globe click
- Rebuild leather surfaces with a regular grid for smooth curvature
- Refine suede and kraft paper textures, punch real page holes
- Reposition axis, time labels, and detail card; speed up iris fade
Disable copy, cut, and context menu site-wide, and limit Cesium
camera input to left-drag rotation and wheel zoom only. Also speed
up page flip animation from 1.3s to 0.6s with an ease-out curve for
a snappier feel.
Migrate the globe view to a Cesium viewer with Esri satellite
imagery and terrain, dropping the custom blue-marble texture and
dot-bead rendering. Add vite-plugin-cesium and a container element
for the viewer.
Also rework the binder leather and suede materials with dedicated
normal maps, and refine timeline labels and page hole sizing.
A Three.js site presenting 20 world history milestones as
double-sided loose-leaf pages, with three views: a leather
binder with page-flip animation, a golden timeline, and a
dotted globe with great-circle arcs.
All textures (paper, leather, registration cards, and 18
hand-drawn sketches) are generated procedurally via Canvas
2D, so no external image assets are needed beyond the Earth
map. Includes dev helper scripts for screenshots, ASCII
previews, and headless verification.
