Hi,
I just followed your tutorial carefully but it isn’t’ showing me a landscape
Cesium for Unreal: Photorealistic 3D Tiles from Google Maps Platform – Cesium
did a trouble shoot on the token
The ion troubleshooting panel won’t help much because the data’s coming through Google, not Cesium ion.
Can you make sure that you configured your Google Maps API key to use the Map Tiles API, and that your tileset URL is correct?
Hi - I’m having the same issue.
OK - My mistake. I actually did have the wrong maps API enabled. I fixed that and I can now see some horizon lines and in the google console I can see the API requests hitting, but my tiles don’t generate.
Please check that “Extend default luminance range in Auto Exposure settings” is enabled in your project settings. I just realized we didn’t mention that step in the Google tutorial, but you can find it at step 3.7 in the Quickstart:
Hard to say what might be causing all that without seeing all the details of your project. Do you have the same problem with the Cesium for Unreal Samples project?
I compiled the cesium unreal samples as you requested,added a blank 3d tileset, updated the URL and ran the project.
Here’s part of UE log file… i’ve crosssed out the google api details…

Can you confirm that you’ve removed Cesium World Terrain from your scene, and that the only (terrain) tileset in the level is Photorealistic Tiles? If so, can you supply longitude / latitude / height coordinates so we can try to reproduce the view on our end?
Hi. I deleted the cesium world terrain and the screen went totally black. Putting the terrain back in again… I’m flying over London at the moment expecting to see something
I hadn’t DELETED the normal tiles from the project, but i have now and hence the black screen
what i do get is THIS 
which appears on the original project i think
And i got the latest cesium update installed
That’s really strange. At the very least, the CesiumSunSky should still be rendering as a sky-like gradient in the viewport.
I’m not able to reproduce this bug, unfortunately. Like you, I opened the first sample level, deleted Cesium World Terrain, and added Photorealistic 3D Tiles. Can you see if the tiles render in our provided sample level? It’s called 12_CesiumGoogleMapsTiles.
Hi Janine, as you suggested the sample file you publish works ok so I don’t know what the difference is…
Thanks anyway, the 3d data doesn’t cover my area of interest anyway but nice integration.
Hang on… you’re trying to look at the Google Photorealistic Tiles, right? So to do that, you need to open a new level in the Samples project, CesiumSamples/Maps/12/12_CesiumGoogleMapsTiles.umap. You’re just looking at the first level, which is Cesium World Terrain plus Bing Maps. It’s has a global terrain model, but does not include any buildings.
That example works for me, but I cannot get it to work with my own API key. Is it ok to use the API key in the sample project for general use?
Many thanks!
No, you need to use your own API key in your own project. Double check that the key you’ve created has the correct API enabled (Photogrammetry), and that you’ve copied it into the URL of the Cesium3DTileset correctly.
That did the trick - thx
