Unity inside a window

Hi all.

Please move if needed.

I’m looking to make a simulation package in unity and would like to build a UI around the simulation similar to unity’s ide or say cad programs

Is this possible? Or any recommendations of over engines that would be more suitable

Even if you were using some of the best software libraries for the job (Qt, MFC, etc), it’s very difficult to make a full consistently working IDE.

Yes, it’s possible. But you’re going to need an experienced UI programmer at minimum.

can also embed unity inside WPF, can find topics like:

That’s promising. Does this mean I would have to build the simulation then put it inside the wpf. Or could I co develop them together

anything should be possible…

unity could be just for displaying the 3d viewer,
or it could contain simulation code too (that you control from wpf UI)
or any other combination…

wpf might have easier access to better nuget packages for simulations or advanced math…
python could be used in background too, since its often used for simulations.

Any ideas on making wpf a viewer ?

test embedding unity build there first
