Content Migration

You can upgrade content of your project to UNIGINE 2.8 in the automatic or manual mode.

Automatic Upgrade#

Automatic upgrade of the project's content can be performed via UNIGINE SDK Browser.

Notice
By default, the automatic mode is used to upgrade only binary executable files and content stored in the project's data folder. If you have content stored outside the data folder or in the additional data folders, you will have to upgrade it manually.

In the result, the binary executable and configuration files, meshes, terrains, worlds, nodes, splines, materials, properties, tracks, settings files will be upgraded to new formats (if any). The <unigine_project>/migration.log.html log file will be opened in the web browser. However, you can uncheck Migrate Content during automatic upgrading and perform content upgrading manually. In this case, only binary executable files will be upgraded.

Notice
The migration results depend on the version of UNIGINE SDK, from which you are going to migrate.

Manual Upgrade#

This mode should be used to upgrade content stored outside the project's data folder:

To upgrade the project's content in the manual mode, do the following:

  1. Put the binary executable <UnigineSDK>/bin/usc_x64.exe (or <UnigineSDK>/bin/usc_x86.exe) to the <UnigineSDK>/utils/upgrade folder that contains the upgrade script.
  2. In the command prompt, run the upgrade.usc with the required options:
    Shell commands
    usc_x64.exe upgrade.usc path/to/the/additional_content_1 path/to/the/additional_content_2 ...
    If you have unchecked Migrate Content during automatic upgrading, add the path to the project's data folder to the list of arguments passed to the upgrade script. For example:
    Shell commands
    usc_x64.exe upgrade.usc <unigine_project>/data path/to/the/additional_content_1 path/to/the/additional_content_2 ...
    Here:
    • path/to/the/additional_content_* - paths to folders with content stored outside the data folder.
As a result, you will get your meshes, terrains, worlds, nodes, splines, materials, properties, tracks, configuration and settings files upgraded.

Notice
The migration results depend on the version of UNIGINE SDK, from which you are going to migrate.

Lights Migration#

As light source modes have changed, the following conversion shall be performed while migrating your project:

  • Realtime light source -> Dynamic light source;
  • Mixed Omni and Projected light source -> Dynamic light source;
  • Mixed World light source -> Static light source with the Dynamic Shadow Cascade Mode;
  • Baked light source -> Static light source with the Static shadow mode enabled and the Lens Flares disabled. The light source node shall be disabled.
