Stream 3D graphics

Hey there!

Our company is using the special software for review huge 3d-models of plants. That software support a stream loading the models which are detailing little by little. It makes possible to review the models through the Internet and and to work on a weak old computers.

Example of stream 3D graphics

I wonder, has the Unity 3D got a feature which is implemented stream loading the 3D models? The AssetBundle and Resources isn’t convinient for me because I have to specify what I need to load.

Thanks for advice.

Hi, welcome to the forum!

There isn’t an online importer for model files built into Unity, but one of our users Eric5h5, sells a .obj importer script. This is mentioned at the bottom of this thread.

That streaming seems to have some LOD stuff going on, so just loading files over the web would only get you partway there. It’s possible, but it would take some engineering.

The video is hard to interpret correctly because all geometry I see can be just as well be parametrically generated (CAD) and if that is the case, then thats very much possible in Unity through an own mesh generator and text assets or even streaming through a WWW data stream (through the data are that little that you can load them in instantanous more or less)
