Cinematic Lighting with Google Earth and Unreal 5

Having access to google maps tiles within unreals allows you to completely customize your environment and lighting which is not possible on a simple google earth maps. Lighting your urban scene and creating an environment is crucial for illustrating any of your designs or selling a story. In this video I will go through how to easily light your streamed city tiles to customize any part of the world as you like.

More cesium tutorials would be awesome! Showing us how to have floating text above locations with their name visible would be awesome. Particularly being able to click the names and seeing more data!

Thanks for the ideas, will soon start moving more into working with data in unreal so will add to the list!

When I raise my camera to take a in the clouds and the city appears, I get an error... the cloud cuts... do you know how to fix it?

like flying among the clouds

check the fog height/ densities parameters to see if they are too strong (or turn it off to see if changes anything). Then for volumetric clouds try adjusting other parameters such the layer height.
