Hi there, I am running some experiments to use Cesium in the creation of an online multiplayer stage where we will host concerts and lots of people can come watch world class artists and socialise so we can raise funds for The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration Ecosystem restoration implimentation partners, partying to save our planet!
The stage is like a big UFO that flies high above the ecosystems that we are partying to raise funds to restore.
I am working on a demo for one of the original directors of Fortnite who has created an amaZing new multiplayer hosting platform for unreal that allows for thousands of multiplayer users in the same virtual space.
I really need help to get our little demo stage + cesium we have built in Unreal hosted for multiplayer for some MASSIVE green multinationals who also want a demo and love the concept.
Please let me know if anyone would like to join our team and get this little pirate ship legal and flying.

Hi Everyone, I am Mohammad Taiyab from Bangalore, India. I am a fresher and new to Cesium. I am working on developing a 3D Web GIS application with the help of Cesium, Geoserver, and Angular/Typescript in the offline environment. I have tried a Cesium code in my offline system with every configuration but still, the code is not accessing the WMS layer(basically a world map tif file) from Geoserver. As it is not connected to the internet Bing Maps is also not showing and I have to click on the Natural Earth option for a 3D globe display. But I want my Geoserver layer instead of Bing map when I run the application. Can anyone help me with this issue or does anyone have some reference for this type of application? I am working alone on my project for my company and as a fresher, I need some guidance and help to complete my first project. If anyone has links or references to sort out my issues, please forward them here.
My name is Anh Nguyen, a retired Performance Software Engineer, a newbie in Cesium.
As a hobby for now I’m interested in developing Metaverses hoping to provide some applications to my community, whether it be social or commerce or anything in between
I am experimenting with Unreal Engine and very recently with CesiumJS.
I’m very excited to have smoothly gone through Cesium tutorials, where I learned a great deal about 3D geospatial. Many thanks to the very well documented tutorial.
My biggest question and concern is about copyrights when it comes to the modification to real life properties, whether they are public or private. I’m hoping the community could help enlightening me on this, and thanks in advance
Hello Cesium World,
I’m David Richard, and I live in Lausanne, Switzerland.
I’m interested in Cesium ion, JS and Unreal Engine as part of my work as a 3D modeler in the urban planning department.
I’m not a code specialist, so I’ll often go to the forum to find solutions and help. I use Blender for modeling.
I’m currently working on learning how to insert projects into Cesium ion and Unreal in order to be able to present and communicate future urban projects.
If I had to ask my very first question in the Forum, I’d ask you! How can I change the geolocation settings in Ion? In fact, using Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles, I noticed that the altimetry wasn’t right. When I take the “point” tool and point to a location, the altitude is wrong. If you can help me figure out how to change this, I’d be super happy.
Hello! I’m working on an existing project where we already have a globe based on osgearth (I know). In practical terms, I’m a newbie to 3D and geospatial data. The globe in my existing project was a legacy piece, so I just accepted it as-is and worked on other parts of the project. We just received approval yesterday (!) to finally ditch the old globe and begin a migration to Cesium.
I have used GIS software extensively for more than 20 years from the early days of Arc/INFO AML languages and command prompts. I have developed many mapping solutions using many GIS and related tools. In late 1990s, I started to deal with VRML because when I saw what it was doing, I fell in love with it. Sadly it has gone due to many reasons.
Unfortunately, while dealing deeply with 2-3 GIS tools and related products, I have missed some advances related with my expertise. For example, I do not have any knowledge of Javascript. I do not know neither phyton nor geopandas which may be useful for my future applications.
Lately, a very small mapping company (owner is a friend) asked me if I could build a process them. Basically what they are looking for is a data conversion system. They have their LIDAR and drone data. And they manage to get an OBJ file after processing it with Context Capture. What they want is to publish this data to WEB using their server. After doing research for some time, I see that Cesium might be a solution. But I do not have any clue how Cesium works. I have no JS knowledge. I now have a Cesium Ion account but I do not know how to use it effectively. Cesium Learning Center also makes me feel like I am on another planet too. I can upload my data as assets. I know how to do it. And I can see my data there. But I am stuck with so many questions.
Can you please guide me how to start? How to learn Cesium? Or what prerequisites should I have? Or should I say to my friend that I am not a fit for this project?
Sorry for my whining behavior. I am glad to be here. I hope I can find answers to my questions. Have a great weekend!
@ercios Hello there.
That question is very broad, and it’s not unlikely that it will get “buried” here. If you can describe more specific requirements and questions (probably in a new thread), people might be able to give more specific hints.
So just a short pointer:
They have their LIDAR and drone data. And they manage to get an OBJ file after processing it with Context Capture. What they want is to publish this data to WEB using their server.
This sounds like what is described in 3D Tiling – Cesium , in the Photogrammetry – Cesium subsection. You probably don’t need to configure (or even understand) many options there. Uploading a test model with default settings should be enough to get started.
