Editor: Cesium Tutorial

Cesium is a geospatial and satellite imagery plugin that enables realistic satellite imagery to be appended to the Earth model within Editor. This is a custom plugin and is handled by Cesium Ion. Additionally, the WGS84 Earth terrain model is implemented when using the Cesium earth, producing terrain and height maps that can be useful for accurate RADAR modelling. This tutorial will show how to create an account and implement the Cesium Earth model within Nominal Editor.
