Distributive set
Full Unigine distributive set contains:
- Unigine library itself
- Full documentation pack
- MeshViewer
- NormalMapper
- Unigine data archiver
- 3DStudio mesh export/import plugin
- Maya mesh export/import plugin
- 3DStudio skinned mesh export plugin
- 3DStudio multimaterial export plugin
- Quake3 map converter into mesh
- Doom3 map converter into mesh
Unigine was created taking into consideration that there are a lot of programmers who are familiar with C/C++ and artists who work in 3DStudio or Maya.
So Unigine scripts have C/C++ like syntax and there is a set of plugins for 3DStudio and Maya to provide opportunity of work in accustomed enviroment to our customers.
We hope this will increase development speed of your Unigine-based application.
