Custom Models in UNREAL 5 and GOOGLE MAPS using Cesium ( Revit, Rhino, Sketchup)

I am going to show you how to bring your architectural models into a 3D google earth map within Unreal Engine 5. You will be able to take any model from revit, rhino or sketchup and insert it anywhere in the world within a google earth tileset. The advantages of this as you can see is that you have satelilate accurate massing at your disposal and can very quickly drop in your design within this context and have the full power of urneal engine behind this.

In addition you can create animations, assets, materials, data overalys and even first person chatacters to walk around if you wish.
This is all now possible through the plugin Cesium within unreal. Cesium is a Platform for 3D Geospatial which lets you work with geosptail data including 3d tile datasets for both web and gaming engines. This now includes The google earth dataset which was released quite recently.

Sr. You deserves a medal. By far THE best Cesium/Unreal/Google Tiles tutorial. You just earned a new subscriber. Looking forward to more tuts!

[justinedomingo]

Goddam, I never expected unreal would be this powerful! DEFINITELY WILL USE THIS FOR MY THESIS PRESENTATION IN YEAR TO COME!!

[metafuel]

Excellently explained. Thanks. Subscribed.

Thank you very much, please more videos on Cesium

Is it possible to remove a 3d building with this? I'm trying here, but cannot get rid of the 3d in the tileset.

[cathychoi]

Thanks so much for you very detailed content! wondering can I export the clipped map + my Arch model out as fbx or any other 3D format ? I notice when I closed the project open again, I need to to reset the map? thanks advanced !

[integvis]

Such a great tutorial, thanks ever so much. Is high-res screenshot the only way to create a reasonable still? Been tinkering with Rendering through the Movie Render Queue, but with NO success at all. Am I missing some point? Is Google-Data through Cesium non-renderable?

[MarcGKiwi]

This is great content!! If the revit models are already georeferenced is there a workflow for automatically placing it in the correct location?

[Vaibhavnagare-xsvy]

can i make FBX file with that Polygon plane because i need to use in blender as FBX, help ASAP sir

[maxxmangione]

Really nice tutorial, thank you ! . As for the content, if i understand it correctly by reading the legal facts of google , we cant use any material generated from google maps in any comercial way . Does cesium avoid this inconvenience by being a paid service associated to google or we have the same limitations ? thank you

[bwdhcfu]

Subscribed. 😍Thank you. We need the animation of this please

[GrekkoGaming]

When I try to package to PC, many errors ! Is it possible to export to PC target or Cesium works only in Unreal editor to get cinematic ? thanks...

Can you save the mesh and modify it without extra map loads? Download once and play with the map/mesh?

[djohnworthy]

Are you a Legend or What! KING. Hey, man, one more thing I would like to see is to add reflections. For example, I got the ` the gherkin` location from the UK. It looks eh tbh. How can I make it more realistic? I love your content.

[smaliwil]

Hello there! Great tutorial! I'd like to know if we can bring to UE5 a small area not the entire world? Is that possible?

[Ramronv]

When I move around the scene, I see several tiles that disappear and appear alternately, as if the level does not load to 100%. Do you know how I can improve this?

[philhighfield]

thanks for sharing your knowledge! Is there any way to 'flatten' the terrain in a particular area to make space for our new plot?

[captainofthewhitetower]

When I add the fog left side is all white like infested with FOG and other parts are normal. Why is that>?

[gtasadino]

the google maps models dont seem to cast shadows how can we fix this? thank you for the tutorials btw!

[dimaferox]

Great and very helpful tutorial mate, the documentation is poor and you like a magic arm 😊
