This release includes support for Unreal Engine v5.0, v5.1, and v5.2 for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS. Please select the appropriate ZIP for your version.

Fixes 🔧

• Fixed a bug introduced in v1.28.0 that prevented point clouds from rendering with attenuation.
• Fixed a bug where Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles would sometimes not render in Movie Render Queue.
• Fixed a bug that caused UnrealLightmass to crash when attempting to build lighting containing static meshes created by a Cesium3DTileset.

In addition to the above, this release updates cesium-native from v0.25.1 to v0.26.0. See the changelog for a complete list of changes in cesium-native.

Cesium for Unreal v1.28.0

This release includes support for Unreal Engine v5.0, v5.1, and v5.2 for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS. Please select the appropriate ZIP for your version.

Breaking Changes 📣

• Removed the GetGeoreferencedToEllipsoidCenteredTransform and GetEllipsoidCenteredToGeoreferencedTransform methods from GeoTransforms. Because these were transformations between two right-handed coordinate systems, they are not of much use with Unreal's left-handed coordinate system.
• Deprecated the FlyToGranularityDegrees property for AGlobeAwareDefaultPawn. Flight interpolation is now computed per-frame, so this property is no longer needed. Any code that refers to FlyToGranularityDegrees should be removed or changed to FlyToGranularityDegrees_DEPRECATED to still compile.

Additions 🎉

• Added the ability to set the CesiumGeoreference Scale via Blueprints.
• Added ACesiumCameraManager::RemoveCamera. It is available via both Blueprints and C++. This complements the existing ACesiumCameraManager::AddCamera.

Fixes 🔧

• Added a workaround for an apparent bug in Unreal Engine 5.1 that prevented collisions from working with Cesium3DTilesets.
• Fixed a bug that could cause the AGlobeAwareDefaultPawn / DynamicPawn to suddenly move to a very high height for one render frame just as it arrives at its destination during a flight.

In addition to the above, this release updates cesium-native from v0.25.0 to v0.25.1. See the changelog for a complete list of changes in cesium-native.

Cesium for Unreal v1.27.1

This release includes support for Unreal Engine v5.0, v5.1, and v5.2 for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS. Please select the appropriate ZIP for your version.

Fixes 🔧

• Fixed a shader compilation error introduced in v1.27.0 that prevented projects from opening in Unreal Engine 5.1 and 5.2.
• Fixed a debug assertion !IsGarbageCollecting() that could occur within ACesiumCreditSystem when flying to different sublevels.

Cesium for Unreal v1.27.0

This release includes support for Unreal Engine v5.0, v5.1, and v5.2 for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS. Please select the appropriate ZIP for your version.

Additions 🎉

• Added support for Unreal Engine 5.2.
• Added support for running Cesium for Unreal in the Unreal Editor in Linux under UE 5.2. Previous versions supported Linux only as a packaging target.
• Added point cloud shading options to Cesium3DTileset, which allow point cloud tilesets to be rendered with attenuation based on geometric error.
• ACesium3DTileset now emits a warning if the "Enable World Bounds Checks" option is enabled. That option can make the camera fly toward the origin unexpectedly.
• Added new settings to the Cesium section of the Project Settings, allowing users to control how many requests to handle before pruning and also how many elements to keep in the cache after pruning.

Fixes 🔧

• Fixed a bug introduced in v1.26.0 that caused an error when attempting to save a sub-level containing Cesium objects.
• Removed degenerate triangles from the collision mesh created for 3D Tiles. This will avoid warnings and runtime pauses with some tilesets.
• Fixed a bug in CesiumGlTFFunction that caused the glTF and 3D Tiles "Ambient Occlusion" value to be 0.0 (instead of the expected 1.0) when the model does not specify an explicit occlusion texture. This could cause some extremely dark shadows.
• Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when using Cesium Actors with World Partitioning.

In addition to the above, this release updates cesium-native from v0.24.0 to v0.25.0. See the changelog for a complete list of changes in cesium-native.

• Tileset and raster overlay credits are now shown in Editor viewports.

Fixes 🔧

• Fixed a bug in ACesiumCartographicPolygon where the standard base class BeginPlay implementation was not called.

Cesium for Unreal v1.25.1

Fixes 🔧

• On-screen credits now only show on the screen, and not in the Data Attribution panel. Additionally, the Data Attribution panel no longer appears if there are no credits to display in it.

In addition to the above, this release updates cesium-native from v0.23.0 to v0.24.0. See the changelog for a complete list of changes in cesium-native.

Additions 🎉

• The FlyToAltitudeProfileCurve, FlyToProgressCurve, FlyToMaximumAltitudeCurve, FlyToDuration, and FlyToGranularityDegrees properties of GlobeAwareDefaultPawn / DynamicPawn may now be read and written from Blueprints.
• Added an option on Cesium3DTileset to ignore the KHR_materials_unlit extension entirely and use normal lighting and shadows.
• Added CreateNavCollision property to Cesium3DTileset. When enabled, CreateNavCollision is called on the static meshes created for tiles.

Fixes 🔧

• Fixed unexpected reflection on tilesets with KHR_materials_unlit extension when the sun is close to the horizon.

In addition to the above, this release updates cesium-native from v0.22.0 to v0.23.0. See the changelog for a complete list of changes in cesium-native.
