1. A concise explanation of the problem you're experiencing.

I have KML files with high resolution generated images of a city. I can place these over google earth but when I started putting multiple KML files, Google earth crashes due to large size of GeoTiff images in KML files.  
Is there a solution in cesium where I can use some kind for tiling to use all the KML overlays

Also I have corresponding Obj files generated using AGIsoft photoscan , how can I convert them to tile to overlay in cesium

2. A minimal code example. If you've found a bug, this helps us reproduce and repair it.

3. Context. Why do you need to do this? We might know a better way to accomplish your goal.

4. The Cesium version you're using, your operating system and browser.

Displaying huge imagery is exactly why Cesium ion exists! Check out [cesium.com/ion](http://cesium.com/ion).

Tiling for 3D models is coming soon! There’s an issue open for it with more information on the ion community repo: [https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium-ion-community/issues/2](https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium-ion-community/issues/2)

Thanks for the reply but I am looking for local solution not a cloud based solution

We do offer an on-premises version of our commercial tiling tools. Feel free to reach out to [tim@cesium.com](mailto:tim@cesium.com) if you’re interested!

I’m not aware of any open source implementations but if you end up finding one let us know!
