cesiumjs-models-particles

cesiumjs-models-particles is a skill for Claude Code from CesiumGS/cesiumjs-skills. It costs 87 tokens per session (3,916 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A reference for working with 3D models and particle effects in CesiumJS, a JavaScript library for interactive 3D globes and maps. It covers glTF and GLB files, which are formats for 3D assets, plus animations, model parts, and effects such as fire or rain.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to load compressed or CAD-style models, control model nodes and animations, render edges, and create particle systems with different emitters.
Why use it?
It helps developers choose the right CesiumJS objects and methods for loading, displaying, animating, styling, and positioning these visuals.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cesiumjs-models-particles scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CesiumJS Models, glTF & Particle Effects

Version baseline: CesiumJS v1.143.

Quick Reference

Class Purpose
Model Low-level glTF/GLB primitive; positioned via modelMatrix
ModelAnimation Active animation instance on a model
ModelAnimationCollection Collection at model.activeAnimations
ModelNode Named node with modifiable transform
ModelFeature Per-feature styling/picking for feature-ID models
EdgeDisplayMode Controls draft glTF edge-visibility rendering on Model/Cesium3DTileset
ParticleSystem Billboard-based particle manager (fire, smoke, rain)
Particle Single particle with position, velocity, life
ParticleBurst Scheduled burst of particles
BoxEmitter / CircleEmitter Emit within box volume / flat disk
ConeEmitter / SphereEmitter Emit from cone tip / within sphere

The Entity API exposes models through ModelGraphics (see cesiumjs-entities). The Primitive API uses Model.fromGltfAsync for full control over modelMatrix, animations, and node transforms.


Loading a glTF/GLB Model

Always use the async factory -- never call the constructor directly.

import { Model, Cartesian3, Transforms, HeadingPitchRoll, Math as CesiumMath } from "cesium";

const model = await Model.fromGltfAsync({ url: "path/to/model.glb" });
viewer.scene.primitives.add(model);

CesiumJS 1.143 decodes KHR_meshopt_compression automatically, including the v1 attribute codec and COLOR filter. Do not import a decoder or private loader helper. When loading compressed glTF, CAD-style lines/points/edges, or constant-LOD textures, read REFERENCE.md for the complete support and authoring matrix. The same loader behavior applies to glTF content inside 3D Tiles.

Positioned Model with Heading

const position = Cartesian3.fromDegrees(-123.074, 44.050, 5000);
const hpr = new HeadingPitchRoll(CesiumMath.toRadians(135), 0, 0);

const model = await Model.fromGltfAsync({
  url: "CesiumAir.glb",
  modelMatrix: Transforms.headingPitchRollToFixedFrame(position, hpr),
  minimumPixelSize: 128,  // never smaller than 128 px on screen
  maximumScale: 20000,    // cap for minimumPixelSize enlargement
  scale: 2.0,             // uniform scale multiplier
});
viewer.scene.primitives.add(model);

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
