Hi, I want to use cesium to represent moving objects, similar to how military entities are represented in 00:30 of the following video:

[![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cesium/original/3X/0/7/0790920afdd914fb416ab93446c140bea9b4c60e.jpeg "Project Anywhere | Unreal Engine") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZXTZphgyps&t=29)

I’m wondering:  
(1) Where can I find the sample project/level shown in 00:30 in the video above? I looked into Project Anywhere XR ([Project Anywhere XR | Unreal Engine 4.27 Documentation](https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/Resources/Showcases/ProjectAnywhereXR/)) but was not able to find the same scene.  
(2) Is there a tutorial that I can follow to reproduce what’s shown at 00:30 in the video?

Thanks!

Edit:  
I think what I ask for is similar to Entities in CesiumJS ([Creating Entities – Cesium](https://cesium.com/learn/cesiumjs-learn/cesiumjs-creating-entities/)). Just wondering if this is implemented in Cesium Unreal?

Hi @megamo486 ,

Cesium for Unreal does not have an “Entity API” like CesiumJS, but does have a tutorial for placing objects in the world.

> **[Placing Objects on the Globe](https://cesium.com/learn/unreal/unreal-placing-objects/)**
>
> This tutorial demonstrates how Cesium for Unreal integrates with Unreal Engine and explains how to add simple Unreal Engine objects to a level.

In theory, Cesium could be used for the rendering the world, and you would create the app logic for the “moving objects” (Unreal actors with Billboard components?).

I see! I will try to implement it in UE. I just figured that I’d better ask and make sure that such functionality is not already implemented, so I won’t be reinventing the wheel.

Thank you!
