load gltf model in cesium.js

Question

I am trying to load .gltf model file in cesium. I followed the instruction on http://cesiumjs.org/2014/03/03/Cesium-3D-Models-Tutorial/ to get this done. But it is not working. Am I missing anythis here? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Most likely, you're model is loading fine, but even at a scale of 200, it's too small to see from space, you can add the following block of code to the end of the file to zoom to the model once it's loaded.

model.readyToRender.addEventListener(function(){
    var center = Cesium.Matrix4.multiplyByPoint(model.modelMatrix, model.boundingSphere.center, new Cesium.Cartesian3());
    var transform = Cesium.Transforms.eastNorthUpToFixedFrame(center);
    var camera = scene.camera;
    camera.transform = transform;
    var controller = scene.screenSpaceCameraController;
    var r = 2.0 * Math.max(model.boundingSphere.radius, camera.frustum.near);
    controller.minimumZoomDistance = r * 0.5;
    camera.lookAt(new Cesium.Cartesian3(r, r, r), Cesium.Cartesian3.ZERO, Cesium.Cartesian3.UNIT_Z);
});
