     Notice

     Only Products containing the manifest file (present from the 04/23/2015) are available for adding.

Once the Product is installed, you can:

• Create a new project in the My Projects tab.
• Create a project with installed add-ons in the My Projects tab.
• Run built-in demos or samples (UnigineScript, C++ API, C# API, 3rd party).

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-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.

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
• 3rd party — a set of demos demonstrating UNIGINE integration with applications based on 3rd party technologies.

To download any Demo, click Install under a project in the Demos section of the Samples tab.
