The SDK updated in the 1.0 release, it sounds like @trees and code is looking to post an updated video

Hi, I believe STL is not natively supported directly in unity, if that's still true, you would first convert your STL model to obj or fbx in blender, which is free. Or perhaps this tool (which i have not tried) www.greentoken.de/onlineconv/ After that, there are tools to edit mesh's in unity like probuilder or other free 3rd party components, but generally unity is not meant for editing the models. I would import the STL to blender, do all your editing and bring the separated components to unity via .obj or .fbx blender is generally how i edit the models, then unity just does the cool stuff with the pieces

thanks!!! I was going to post an updated video soon. The new SDK has mesh colliders built in to it now. While the extraction information on my video can still be useful, you no longer need to overlay a separate mesh with collider on the live SDK anymore. Extraction is still good for offline use or many other reasons though.

@@treesandcode8259 waiting bro

@@treesandcode8259 Please post another video how to use the new SDK with mesh colliders. Thanks!

Looks amazing btw!

Sorry for the long delay, the water shader is super simple. Just grab any water shader, like the free ones showcased in the Unity standard assets. simply put that water shader (flat plane object) at low altitude (zero-ish) with a location component and the water hovers over sea-level on the map above by 1 pixel. Quick easy way to do it. if you wanted to carve out the actual water on the map for see through water that would be different. What I did was basically hide the ocean images with a water plane

you an use FBXexporter to grab and export the mesh, also the new arcGIS sdk has built in mesh colliders now

I'd also like to know how to bake and extract the MeshCollider data

Hi, I did make another video about extracting the mesh data on this channel using a tool called FBX exporter. Check that out for some info, however since then the new SDK has built in mesh colliders now natively.

Hi, yes textures are supported but you have to look around at what maps are available. I'm not sure if some require a paid subscription or not. You can also join the beta and ask around there. Here are a few for example: 3d buildings with textures in San Diego: runtime.maps.arcgis.com/home/webscene/viewer.html?webscene=ccb12286f303493291609e5dc8881e38 other maps and map servers: tiles.arcgis.com/tiles/P3ePLMYs2RVChkJx/arcgis/rest/services runtime.maps.arcgis.com/home/gallery.html?focus=scenes&view=grid&sortOrder=desc&sortField=relevance services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services

@@treesandcode8259 Hey thanks for replying. While ArcGIS does a very good job at displaying 3d data of mountains and other geographical entities, its not that good when it comes to city scapes. I've tried importing the free 3d maps available on arcgis(like the ones you provided above) in the arcgis unity sdk but the models imported are not much photorealistic. I was wondering if there was a way to import high quality 3d map models into unity(something like google earth) I've searched for it a lot but I can't seem to find a way to do this. Google earth doesn't have any kind of API to do this, bing maps SDK for unity has a limit on its geographical size, google maps sdk for unity only provides untextured building models etc etc. Please let me know if there is a way to do this! Thanks

You can try HDRP if you haven't already, but you are probably correct that the building materials/textures just may not be high quality yet. That would explain why they chose to use a city with no material in the demo.

Yeah maybe. Well I'm building to a mobile device so I can't use HDRP. Anyways thanks for your help!
