SDKs#
To start working, you should have an SDK installed. In the SDKs tab, you can install a new SDK version or add an already installed one.
- To install a new SDK:
- Specify the SDK type in the Edition field (Entertainment, Engineering, or Sim) in the SDKs tab.
- Specify the SDK version in the Version field.
- Click Install. The installation progress will be shown under the menu on the left. The installed SDK will appear in the SDKs list.
- To add an already installed SDK:
- Click Add Installed in the SDKs tab.
- Specify the path to the root folder of the required SDK. It will appear in the Projects list.
NoticeOnly SDKs containing the manifest file (present from the 04/23/2015) are available for adding.
Once the SDK is installed, you can:
- Create a new project in the Projects tab.
- Create a project with installed add-ons in the Projects tab.
- Run built-in demos or samples (UnigineScript, C++ API, C# API, 3rd party).
Projects#
A project is an independent entity that contains all data on your application content organized in a set of directories.
There are several ways of working with projects:
- Create a new project (you should have an SDK installed).
- Create a project with add-ons (you should have an SDK and add-ons installed).
- Add an existing project from your local drive (after that, it will be easily accessible from here for editing, upgrade, or other actions).
Add-Ons#
Add-On is the plugged functionality extension that can be presented as any engine addition: plugin, library, material, etc.
See how to create a project with an add-on here.
The full list of add-ons and their usage is available here.
Samples#
The following samples can be found in the Samples tab:
- Demos — a set of UNIGINE demos and benchmarks that can be converted to a project in order to be modified
- UnigineScript — a set of UnigineScript demos
- C++ API — a set of C++ API demos
- C# API — a set of C# demos
