Infrawork to VR Engine

paulobelesa — Wed, 03 Jan 2018 21:23:44 GMT

Hi, I wonder if Infraworks could export the model to Unreal Engine or to Unity, due to the fact that AD is discontinuing Stingray (bad idea).

Also the rival from Esri is doing it, AD must keep up with VR trand.

Also model texture should be exported as PNG or JPG.

Thanks

This is the idea station. This should be posted in the InfraWorks forum.

And yes, you can export the model to Unreal or Unity using the FBX export option.

Also, ESRI is no longer a rival of Autodesk. See article below...

Though stingray is going away, have you tried 3ds Max Interactive? Check out these helpful links.

That is fine Tony as long as there is a well written workflow for taking Infraworks models over to 3ds Interactive to "bake" the model so that it is ready for a VR experience, just as that in Stingray.

The one workflow I use for using Stingray with Infraworks came from AU 2017 and is attached

It's the exact thing as Stingray.

Thanks Todd.

It is good to know that Stingray has simply been renamed and/or re-packaged.
