When importing a large Solidworks STEP file into Unity, there’s a lot of things to consider to make sure your project runs smoothly. Unity has a specific way of calculating and rendering frames which depend on a project’s LOD’s, face count, materials, and many more....
3D files can be large and complex, sometimes containing millions of assets. To put things in perspective, a relatively simple 3D CAD design of a manufacturing assembly line will contain more than 100,000 meshes and nodes after its converted to a polygonal mesh file....
Keeping up with real-time requirements is no easy task for 3D teams working on visualization projects. With augmented reality (AR), this problem is only intensified because not only do AR creators have to work within the constraints of real-time technology, but they...
If you’re a 3D developer, you know all about the challenges of preparing CAD files for real-time applications. Having a seamless conversion and optimization process is what all 3D teams dream of. However, currently tedious and manual file optimization is a major...
SIGGRAPH, one of the biggest computer graphics conferences in the world was set to come back this year in Washington DC. But, with the ongoing global pandemic it had to quickly change into a virtual conference. And while some had their reservations on how such a...
Unreal Engine is a powerful 3D creation platform for developing photorealistic games and immersive experiences. But with a wide range of tools and settings, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when figuring out which of UE4’s features can help your project. In...
Many 3D teams face similar requests from clients or teammates: can we make our 3D visualization as realistic as possible? For 3D teams like us, that means finding the balance between accuracy and performance. How much details included in the visualization directly...
With more and more people working remotely, we’ve been getting a lot of questions regarding what the ideal PC is for VR development. VR development pipelines can be complex as developers need to work with multiple software such as 3DS Max, Maya, Blender, Unity and...
The Oculus Quest is an all-in-one gaming system for VR. Being a wireless headset makes it very attractive for different VR applications as it provides the user with a fully immersive experience. However, because it’s not tethered to a PC, it has limitations in...
For many 3D modelers that are experienced in modeling, rendering, and animation, 3D optimization can be a daunting process – especially if you’re optimizing a 3D model for real-time application! A quick Google search of “how to optimize 3D files” will bring up a...
