Cesium Win Epic MegaGrant
<div><p>Cesium, the makers of <a href="https://cesium.com/cesium-ion/">Cesium Ion</a> and the open source <a href="https://cesium.com/cesiumjs/">CesiumJS</a> open world data technologies have just announced they received an <a href="https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/megagrants">Epic Megagrant</a>. This will enable them to create Cesium for Unreal Engine, a free and open source add-on for Unreal Engine that will enable developers to use their 3D Tile world data in games and applications developed directly in UE.</p>
<p>Details of the MegaGrant win on the <a href="https://cesium.com/blog/2020/06/04/cesium-for-unreal-engine/">Cesium blog</a>:</p>
<blockquote readability="19">
<p>I can’t think of anything that better exemplifies Cesium’s belief in combining geospatial and 3D computer graphics than the support of Epic Games and the Epic MegaGrants program to build Cesium for Unreal Engine.</p>
<p>This marks the first time a full-scale, high-precision 3D globe is plugged into a leading game engine, opening a world of possibilities for Unreal’s users. Together we will advance training & simulation, architecture, games, AR/VR, autonomous driving, and other industries by enabling 3D Tiles to be streamed into Unreal for accurate visualization of real-world locations captured by satellites and drones—using the same 3D geospatial knowledge that has gone into CesiumJS for nearly a decade.</p>
