Loading a globe as an object in existing code

[jrjdavidson]

I would like to use an itowns globe to replace a current static landscape image draped over a mesh. I had a go at creating a globe with the itowns source and trying to combine it with existing code, but wasn't sure how to access the canvas or renderer objects created by itowns. I was also getting errors such as 'threejs loading twice'.

Is there a simple way to create and add a globe mesh with associated imagery ( e.g. WMTS ortho imagery) as an object into an existing project? I guess I'm thinking of the way code is added as examples in other threejs projects. Should I create two overlapping canvases, one for the objects I already created, and another for the itowns? Any suggestions on how to proceed would be appreciated!

three is exported in itowns.js bundle. May be you add the three.js bundle?

it's not possible for the moment (see #1829)
but it's possible to add you three.js project to Viewer.scene and instance and customize your renderer.
there are frame requester to add your process in itowns main loop

#1829 is exactly was i was thinking of! Is there an issue that I can follow?

I tried to access three object exported from itowns but it appeared to be incomplete and missed some required functions (I can't quite remember what it was), so I decided to try and import it again, almost certainly the reason for the duplication error.
