Custom GL layers?

[mfazekas]

I assume you're asking https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/custom-style-layer/

I don't think the android or ios native sdk supports it. Android seems to have a CustomLayer labelled with do not use. There seems to be an example with cpp.

I havent found anything like that for ios docs there is an undocumened MGLOpenGLStyleLayer - see LimeGreenStyleLayer example

I guess limited usecases could be implemented, but full support doesn't seems to be possible. (Or at least would be very very hard to implement)

Hmm ok, thanks! we'll need to think of a different solution then

[mfazekas]

@jliebrand what is the usecase?

[jliebrand]

We use it to animate a wind layer:

This (syncing a native GL context with the map) requires changes in the core library I believe. It should be requested upstream. Closing for now.

[mfazekas]

Most of RN native callbacks is currently async. This would require sync commands, also this would require C++ on android. Might be easier once Fabric in RN is implemented.

@jliebrand @mfazekas can you help me in this wind animation, i'm searching from last 2 weeks for solution. Any link or sample , please

Does anyone know if there is a way in the newest version to add a 3d model to the map at a point? It seems somewhat convoluted to do on iOS and is unclear on android based on this example using SceneKit, at least compared to on the web with libraries like threebox. Wondering if there's any way to somehow use expo-three.
