Yes, I followed the tutorial you mentioned and got the Melbourne Photogrammetry 3D story, I also did the New York City 3D Buildings and AGI_HQ story.I don’t know if you can access my CESIUM ios panel to see it. Then try to create other stories with 3D photogrammetry but fail.
From the CESIUM panel, how do I create a story with 3D photogrammetry of a certain area?
Is it possible to create stories with 3D geometry with a kml file obtained from a project created at earth.google.com/web?
Did you get an error? Can you post a screenshot and describe what issue what you’re running into? If you have a KML file with some data you should be able to upload that to your Cesium ion account. If that’s giving you an error please post the asset ID here and we can take a look.
My interest is in knowing the steps to follow to obtain stories in CESIUM ios with a 3D photogrammetry or similar to that of Google Earth or like the Melbourne in the tutorial.
The Google Earth photogrammetry is not available as an open dataset/in a standard that can be used in other viewers, so you won’t be able to use it in Cesium Stories. The Melbourne photogrammetry data was made available by the city of Melbourne: https://data.melbourne.vic.gov.au/.
We’re always working on curating more open datasets to make available on Cesium ion. Since the platform is built on open standards, if you find any datasets that are openly available, or capture your own, you can upload them to Cesium ion.
From what I’ve seen so far, only the aerial maps from Bing are used, correct? Not Bing’s 500 or so 3d cities they have that you’ll see in the Window’s Maps app, the third party Earth View app or Unity via the Bing 3d Maps SDK in Unity?
Welcome to the community! Bing Maps Aerial, Bing Maps Arial with Labels, and Bing Maps Road all come standard with Cesium ion. You can find them in either the “My Assets” or “Asset Depot” section on Cesium ion. Cesium World Terrain, which contains data from the U.S. Geological Survey, is also available. Check out the “My Assets” and “Asset Depot” to see what other assets are available. The majority of assets have an “Attribution” section, providing relevant information that might be of interest to you.
Thanks Sam - yes, I have indeed seen Melbourne in the Unreal sample project, imported Boston from the Depot, plus imported some Google Earth to Cesium in UE via My Assets.
It was specifically Bing’s 3d cities which I was wondering if Cesium had an arrangement with Microsoft for (not being accessible via the public Bing Maps Interactive SDK it looks like Cesium hooks into). I’ve tried their 3d city SDK in Unity and in UWP and they’re the most impressive I’ve seen for a substantial library. But Unreal Engine doesn’t support UWP and I can’t see any other way to hook into them for Unreal Engine.
Good city coverage too - from the city center of Philadelphia, I could travel for about 20m west before the photogrammetry coverage stopped - or 30-35 miles north due to other maps then taking over.
