Description

The environment map syntax has been bothering me for a while now. The current method of a single attribute on the Model Element pointing to a URL has a few issues:

  • It's not future proof it doesn't allow for supporting multiple formats
  • It doesn't support dark mode/light mode
  • It doesn't allow for changing the intensity or the rotation
  • It doesn't allow for multiple maps used together
  • It only allows for equirectangular maps

/facetoface Something more expressive for environment maps would be useful

Research direction

Start by reviewing the current Model Element environment-map attribute and the limitations listed in the issue. Done would require an agreed syntax and design that supports multiple formats, light and dark modes, intensity, rotation, multiple maps, and non-equirectangular maps.
