Data from a Tygron Session visualized in Unity.
Depending on use-cases or the intended audiences for the results of calculations in the Tygron Platform, it may be desirable to have external tooling or applications read data from a running Session for visualization. One environment which forms a powerful framework for a variety of use-cases is Unity. Using the Cesium plugin for Unity, it is possible to directly connect to a Session and obtain visualization data from it, so that it can be viewed as a complete 3D world in Unity.
How to set up Cesium components to read data from a Tygron Session:
- Ensure you have a 3D Unity Project with a Universal Rendering Pipeline (URP), or HDRP.
- Add the Unity registry to the Unity Project's package manager.[1]
- From the Unty registry, install Cesium for Unity.[1]
- Add a GameObject "Cesium Georeference". Name it "Cesium Georeference".
- As child of the "Cesium Georeference", add a GameObject. Name it "Tygron 3D Tileset".
- To the "Tygron 3D Tileset" add a "Cesium 3D Tileset" component. For that component:
Set the Tileset Source to "From Url".
Set the URL to the 3D Tiles endpoint of the intended running Session. - As child of the "Cesium Georeference", add a GameObject. Name it "Tygron WMS".
- To the "Tygron WMS" add a "Cesium 3D Tileset" component. For that component:
Set the Tileset Source to "From Cesium Ion".
Set the Ion Asset ID to "1".[2]
Set the Ion Access Token to a valid Cesium Ion account token. (See references for a valid token to the Cesium example assets)[2] - To the "Tygron WMS" add a "Cesium Web Map Service Raster Overlay" component. For that component:
Set the Base URL to the WMS endpoint of the intended running Session.
Notes
- After creating the Scene, additional GameObjects and functionality can be added to the Scene, such as an interactive camera.[3]
