Samples

UNIGINE provides various samples on working with content: you can check how to use built-in UNIGINE objects with different settings, set up LODs and materials, adjust rendering settings, or work with vegetation.

Samples are available via UNIGINE SDK Browser as a demo: go to Samples -> Demos and install the Samples demo. Then, you can run it for demonstration or copy as a project to modify the samples.

The Samples demo includes the following content samples:

• Built-in objects:
  • Billboards: settings, billboards generator usage, billboards-based airport lights.
  • Cloud Layer: cloud material settings, usage of a Field Weather.
  • Mesh Cluster: usage, settings.
  • Mesh Clutter: settings, masking, orienting along the relief, meshes scattered across a terrain, World Clutter settings.
  • Decals: use cases, decal material settings, decal types, decal-based terrain holes.
  • Grass: settings, masking, material settings, grass animation, orienting along the terrain, optimization, usage.
  • Lighting:
    • Omni Light and Projected Light settings; usage of Per-Light Lens Flares with World, Omni, and Proj light sources, application of various shapes and textures
    • Voxel Probes: examples of baking from various emissive objects, Cornell box, optimized placement and usage
    • Environment Probes: shapes of probes, types of reflections, reflection mask, clipping occluded reflections using the Cutout By Shadow option
    • Static and dynamic shadows, shadow masking, shadow penumbra
  • Particle Systems: composing, material settings, types of particles, types of emitters, additional forces and physicals influencing particles, rendering to a procedural texture used by the orthographic decal, use with the skinned mesh.
  • Volumetric Objects: types, usage.
  • Global Water: material settings, use of Field Shoreline; use of Field Height, Field Spacer, decals, and the particle system with objects on water.
  • World Spline Graph: usage and settings; creation of roads on the terrain surface, creation of chains, ropes, and cables.
• Impostors: usage, material settings.
• LOD system: LODs surfaces, performance.
• Materials: hierarchy and inheritance, usage of the mesh_base material, types of normal mapping, vertex color options, rendering of cross sections, refraction and reflection settings for transparent objects, such as glass and liquid, correct reflections on rough surfaces.
• Post sensor postprocess materials usage for meshes and decals.
• Render settings:
  • Environment settings
  • Depth of Field (DOF) settings
  • Screen Space Bevel (SSBevel) settings, usage
  • Screen Space Dirt (SSDirt) settings, usage
  • Screen Space Reflection (SSR) settings, usage
• Vegetation: forest example, types of leaves, vertex- and UV-based animation of leaves, branches, and trunks, tree composition.
