We have the same approach of the use of multitexturing, and we also have plans to incorporate multi-pass rendering :) I think the path is similar! :) > > > Adding and removing sources dynamically is not something we've tried yet, > though I believe the architecture will readily support it. It's on the list. We are doing a major refactor to support a LayerManager class for our Terrains, so we can for example share layers between different terrains, or the whole LayerManager. Of course all our requirements are from the gvSIG project and the fact to support their data model.
