RealityCapture has joined the growing list of projects that directly support Cesium ion, alongside nearly a dozen platforms including Safe FME, Blender, and 3ds Max, which have all recently added Cesium ion integration (https://cesium.com/integrations/). With its curated global datasets, secure cloud hosting, and powerful 3D tiling pipelines, ion is the hub connecting data providers and developers with users.

The latest version of RealityCapture (https://www.capturingreality.com/realitycapture-supports-upload-to-cesium) includes integration with Cesium ion, allowing users to share their 3D models on the web with a single click.

It works by uploading the model to your Cesium ion account, where it is converted into 3D Tiles. This allows users to embed photogrammetry models for visualization on the web or on mobile devices, even if they contain millions of triangles, because higher levels of detail are streamed in as you navigate the scene.

We are thrilled about this integration because it creates an end-to-end workflow from drone photos to web-based visualization in a geospatial context. The fact that original detail is preserved makes it ideal for visualization, as users can email a link to all parties involved and be confident that the model they see is based on the highest fidelity of the captured data.

If you have RealityCapture files, this tutorial will guide you on how to try this feature with your own models.

Check out our integration guide to learn how to connect your tools with Cesium ion, providing your users with a simple way to share their large 3D models or LiDAR data, or display them in a geospatial context.

With Cesium, you can share photogrammetry models on the web without simplifying them: users can even see the signs on the doors of the Norwich Castle model!

Comment: Various platforms are racing to add support for Cesium. 3D Tiles is a remarkable model format.
