Excellent video!

Nice work. Thank you from Liverpool 🌸

Awesome. Thank you.

OOOOOO that looks LIT 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I think I might have to take a look at Unreal Engine again. A lot of projects we deal with are in fairly rural locations though so possibly wont get the full benefit as the city examples you've used but could be useful to a degree?

you know your api key showed on the console when you hitted enter right? I would deactivate that key... if you didn't already...

Can you save the landscape like a mesh and edit it / paint over it or something? Or is it just streaming the data whenever the level is loaded?

Very cool! Congratulations on the high-value content with detailed explanation. Can you tell if it would be possible to take buildings from some parts of the map and use them in other parts of the map? My idea is to take a few buildings from a city and Copy them to a vegetation zone and animate them popping up from the ground in that area.

Great video. Does this work in any other render software? Like D5. Thanks

Hi I loved the video a lot I was just wondering if this could be used to create a simulation using unreal engine to test certain things. Basically can you place an object on the ground in the world or would it just fly off the map.

cool video thanks! is it possible to take a place in the scene and exporting it as a 3D Stl. file to 3D Print ?

I thought that the main use of Cesium would be to save real landscapes. Can you extract the topographic data from this? And save as landscape templates.

Hi thanks for the tutorial, can I remove or mask a section or a building and put my own building in there. It would be nice to have an environment from real location where I am making new plans for an old building

How would you make a google api mini map in a ui window for when you're traversing? Similar to the map view in google maps, that would be fantastic!

What’s the different between loading the api google maps key from url and log in with cesium website directly (with big logo on left button) ? Looks the same to me. Thanks ! Great video

I've been going through this process for hours. I get to 3:02 "create a new level" my screen doesn't go blank and then The URL replacement is not working and I don't get the rendering.

The thing with renderdoc or any similar plugin is, it is impossible to capture detailed geometry when it has a lot of uneven elevation (even at max minus zoom and closeup). I tried stitching Positano bay, it was a nightmare. When captured in a large scale the geometry looks fine with textures but when you zoom in to remodel, its mostly distorted triangles. Maybe this works fine with cities on even surface and high rises.

Does that work on any city? There are some cities in google earth that doesn't have the 3d view

Does this only work on areas that have 3d maps available? Im desperately trying to find good maps of saudi arabia

Cesium doesn't appear to be working with the current version of Unreal Engine anymore. Any other options?

Well, can we take a section from here and make a scene or landscapes?

Why not put a player in and walk around like some guy did in Unity?

The URL is not in the documentation. DO you have any idea where to get it?

any chance getting this work without API ?

So i was wondering if it would be possible to make an open world game using this method. Something like Flight simulator. Does someone know if it is possible?

whenever, i enter LAT, LON, the screen turns black in unreal engine 5.3. any suggestions

When I try this I get a 404 error. Any thoughts??

I tried to go the Great Pyramids and it didn't work.

I Cesium 2 you don't need the api key and therefore no need for credit card info

Maps tile is free?

Only works online. There's no offline version of this

Can we put the entire moon into UE5?

Are you saying we can create a real globe earth with real scale model?

My question is: Since UE5 & Cesium is a modeling engine for renderug an environment in gaming (primarily) and available for commercial products such as using it for the open world environment of a game, shouldn't it be possible to package all this shit up and release it as an explorable world with all of the functionality you're presenting here, possibly even being marketed and sold as such that's optimized for a given platform, like Playstation 5 or Xbox 360 or whatever? PC / Windows 11 or possibly even Debian? Obviously it would require a sick fuckin internet connection, but given that's not an issue, wouldn't this be able to be packaged and written to Blu-ray as a "game" or just simply an explorable environment that's a 1:1 representation of the actual planet earth? Is that feasible? Would it be buggy af and therefore not worth it at the end of the day, or would it be possible to work out all the kinks eventually and have it as an executable game on a disc that could be inserted into a platform with a decent internet connection and have it render on any Playstation its inserted and loaded into? Just wondering if this will eventually be sold and someone like myself who has no idea how to do all this sorcery so that I can put it into the drive of a PS4 or PS5 and have all of the exploration abilities and ease of use built into its functionality? Is it something that could even be sold? I assume since it's using a commercial engine for rendering and using Google APIs and such those companies would expect their slice of the revenue, but that's an assumption on my part since I don't actually have any idea and merely attempting to anticipate potential snags that would prevent this dream (for me, at least) executable environment be commercially available for purchase so that I can fly around the world like I already do with Google Earth Pro except the environment is turbocharged and roided out like this demonstration.. Please tell me it's coming to market soon.. Google Earth Pro is my favorite all time app and time killer for me, just never gets old flying around Machu Picchu & Venice, Italy, etc.. So, all bullshit aside, having this available for me to plug & play is wet dream material, seriously.. Shutupandtakemymoney.jpg
