:earth_americas: Where Does the 3D Content Come From?


CesiumJS can stream 3D content such as terrain, imagery, and 3D Tiles from the commercial Cesium ion
platform and other content sources. You are free to use any combination of content sources with CesiumJS that you please.
Using Cesium ion helps support CesiumJS development. :heart:
