Integrated with Cesium.ion, but should work with other data sources

Users can stream data into applications based on the Omniverse Kit SDK, including both proprietary tools and Nvidia’s own applications like USD Composer, previously known as Omniverse Create. The latest integration, Cesium for Omniverse – also still a preview – adds support for Omniverse, Nvidia’s real-time 3D design and collaboration platform. The Unity plugin is currently still a preview, and is capable of deploying projects to Windows, macOS, Android, and for Meta’s VR headsets, with more platforms to follow. To that, Cesium has added Cesium for Unity, which supports Unity‘s Game Objects, Components and Character Controllers. Again, it integrates with key features of O3DE, including visual scripting system Script Canvas. It integrates with standard Unreal Engine features, including Actors, Components and Blueprints.Ĭesium for O3DE followed in February 2022, providing support for open-source game engine. The first such plugin was Cesium for Unreal, released in 2021. Suggested use cases include open-world games, architectural visualisations and military training apps.Īvailable for Unreal Engine, O3DE and as a preview for Unity The resulting digital replica of the Earth conforms to the WGS84 standard used by GPS systems. The plugins enable developers to use high-resolution 3D geospatial data, such as that captured by aerial photogrammetry and LIDAR scans, to reproduce the real world inside popular game engines.Ī runtime 3D Tiles engine makes it possible to stream massive 3D geospatial datasets into the host engine in real time, and provides level of detail and caching functionality.

There are now plugins available for Unreal Engine, O3DE, Unity and – as of last week – Omniverse.Įach one can generate a full-scale digital replica of the Earth based on the WGS84 standard, recreating real terrain inside the game engine with the accuracy needed for architectural visualisations and military sims.Ĭreate interactive real-time versions of the Earth inside game engines Geospatial software firm Cesium has released a set of open-source plugins that make it possible to stream high-resolution geospatial data into popular game engines.
