Google 3D Tiles in UE4.26.2?

[digtlpete]

I have an older VR project that I cannot migrate to 5.x. I cannot seem to get Cesium to connect to the Google 3D Tiles asset. Does this asset work with this version of the engine and plugin?

LogHttp: Warning: Could not perform game thread setup, processing HTTP request failed. Increase verbosity for additional information.
LogHttp: Warning: 000002466CB64800: request failed, libcurl error: 0 (No error)
LogCesium: Error: [2024-09-26 16:04:48.065] [error] [TilesetContentManager.cpp:780] An unexpected error occurs when loading tile: Connection failed.

Thanks,
Brian

Hi @digtlpete, welcome to the community!

I’m not sure why Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles wouldn’t work for UE 4.26. Could you share some more information so we can troubleshoot this issue? In particular:

• What version of Cesium for Unreal are you using?
• What region are you accessing the dataset from?
• Are you loading the data through Cesium ion? Or, are you using your own Google Map Tiles API key?
• It would also help to know if you have any better luck loading the data in UE 4.27 – perhaps in a separate project, if you don’t want to upgrade your current one.

Thank you!

See my response to your earlier post here:

Google 3D Tiles for UE 4.27?

Hi @digtlpete, I believe it’s possible to use Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles directly from Google in UE 4.26, but not from Cesium ion. You’ll also have to manually ensure you’re complying with Google’s terms of use regarding attributions, because those old versions won’t handle it for you automatically. Our ability to provide free support for very old versions is extremely limited, and the Cesium for Unreal plugin has improved greatly since v1.20.1 (the last that supported UE 4.26). So I’m not…

Support for Google Photorealistic Tiles loaded from Cesium ion was added in Cesium for Unreal v1.31.1. The latest version that was available for UE4 was 1.24.0.
