Zooming out to view the ceiling from above however will likely reveal that your material is in fact rendering, but only when viewed from one side. If the normals are not in the correct alignment, your ceiling will appear to be transparent. Let’s say you export a ceiling object (an extruded rectangle) for import into Unity. In the context of this experiment, think of normals as the plane(s) of an object that get rendered in Unity. If you want to be able to control aspects of the model separately in Unity, be sure to export them as separate. It simply requires a little thought before exporting. obj you can’t turn individual parts of the mesh on and off in Unity. obj export treats several Vectorworks objects as one combined mesh. fbx into Unity it preserves each individual object as it was in Vectorworks, so a group of objects will preserve their individual child objects. And a model this large can cause issues in Unity with lighting, cameras, canvas etc. obj models in general (regardless of scale) import into Unity 100x times larger than an. obj model is at export, it will be the same size once in Unity. fbx will both be the same size when imported into Unity. So for example, a 1:1 model and a 1:1200 model exported as.

The scale of your model in Vectorworks doesn’t matter! It will import into Unity at the same size. It’s an extra step, but certainly not a dealbreaker. obj models import on their side, requiring you to rotate -90 on the X axis.

fbx file imports into Unity without needing to be rotated. You can do all your setup and grey-boxing, then very quickly export things to digital content creation tools (DCC), such as 3ds Max, Maya or Maya LT, have the artists finalize the content, and safely merge your changes back into those Assets to continue your work in Unity.An. By doing this, it enables you to round trip very easily and save loads of time. The Exporter enables Autodesk tools to be aware of your Unity project and the location of your Assets folder. The FBX Exporter package makes it smooth and easy to send geometry and animation from Unity 2017.3 or later, to any application that supports FBX, and back again with minimal effort.

The Unity FBX Exporter is available in Preview via the Package Manager from versions 2018.3 and up.

The built-in Unity FBX Importer provides support for:Īnimation and animated custom properties (when present in the FBX file)
