i am new to unity 3d. I am very impressed of the applications which I see here.
I am fewer interested in games, my interest applies in the visualisation for showrooms or trade fair interativitves.
also i have a few questions:
is there a way to create unity appllications in custom resolutions something like 1280 to 200 pixel? It would be nice to get two applications parallel on the screen. (director/flash for interface design and Unity for 3D Visualisation). could this be done? the keyboard focus should be on the controll application.
Also i am looking for seriell RS 232 input, has someone done this for PC?
Welcome to the Unity forums. Unity, and especially the upcoming 2.0 version, is a perfect use for visualizations of showrooms, architecture, tradeshow booths, etc. Look at the stunning interactive architectural walkthroughs created by Alejandro Gonzalez of Zerofractal Studio for inspiration.
Ron and I are also actually using it to allow engineers and clients to walk through and interact with fully detailed models of various projects our firm works on. We are also going to be doing things like mine tours with it.
Yes, custom resolutions are no problem. You set it up in the projects preferences and simply turn off the ability of the user to select anything else.
If you buy your copy now, the 2.0 update coming later this summer is free. Welcome!
