Hi, I’m new to Cesium and am currently evaluating it for a project. Is it possible to create custom map tiles in [MapTiles.com](http://MapTiles.com) and use them as Vector tiles in Cesium? Or can Cesium only use Raster tiles? Thanks!

Welcome to the Cesium community!

Currently, Cesium only support raster and 3D Tiles. Adding a vector format to 3D Tiles is on our roadmap.

What kind of data are you trying to represent?

@dzung I’m looking to use these tiles I’ve generated using MapTiles configurator: [https://cloud.maptiler.com/maps/69ec05c0-d016-4925-835b-96fc07fc6caf/mapbox-gl-js](https://cloud.maptiler.com/maps/69ec05c0-d016-4925-835b-96fc07fc6caf/mapbox-gl-js)

The link I posted shows the Vector style implementation in MapBox GL (link to vector JSON of the tiles [https://api.maptiler.com/maps/69ec05c0-d016-4925-835b-96fc07fc6caf/style.json?key=8hXQbYRZsyBQfz7H6lwc](https://api.maptiler.com/maps/69ec05c0-d016-4925-835b-96fc07fc6caf/style.json?key=8hXQbYRZsyBQfz7H6lwc)). There is also the option to generate Raster tiles but only with the paid plan.
