I added the nightAlpha option to the ImageryLayer class. It lets show and blend textures only on the shade side of the globe. This only takes effect whenenableLightingistrue.The main reason to do this was to have day and night Earth textures depending on the lighting as an example below.
If nightAlpha = 0.0 (default value), it doesn't take any effect.If nightAlpha > 0.0, the layer is only blended on shade side and has an alpha channel equal to nightAlphaAlso, I created the showcase of it called Night textures on the shade side in the Sandcastle.
