Unity for architectural design collaboration?

News & General Discussion

Hi everyone,

I’m an architect-turned-architectural technologist with some experience in computational design generally, but not anything related to game development. My team and I are thinking about taking some of our computational design work and making it more accessible to architects generally, but we want to do some due-diligence before diving into anything in particular.

I have a few primary questions:

  1. Can Unity be used to build drawing/modeling tools that allow a lot of good user interactivity onto the model(s) in the scene?
  2. Would Unity support concurrent drawing/modeling of multiple users, preferably in a web/HTML5 environment?
  3. What does the deployment process look like for going from a standalone Unity application to a web application? Is it a simple packaging process, or is there a lot of extra heavy lifting to get it on the web?

Thanks for your time, I’m looking forward to learning more!

Yes. Yes and Yes. Need a hand tooling up…hire me. :slight_smile:

For pretty much anything that needs real time 3D visualization, Unity is one of the best tools on the market.
