This long awaited ‘holy grail’ feature in Second Life has now finally arrived! The subject of numerous false starts, April fool’s jokes, and much controversy – it is now possible to import 3D models directly into Second Life.

Video Tutorial: How to Import Revit into Unity3D

29Nov2010 11 Comments Categories:revit, unity3dTags: 3D, architecture, BIM, CAD, illustration, model, online, realtime, rendering, revit, tutorial, unity3d, video, visualization

This tutorial provides an overview of the process involved with importing architectural models into Unity3d. In this case, we’re using Revit Architecture 2009, but the process is relatively universal, and can be applied to just about any architectural CAD or BIM software. After importing your model, try out our Architectural Beginner’s Kit, which enables you [...]

I’m not a techie guy, but I know what ‘import proper 3D models’ means, and I know what a tremendous impact it will have on our industry and beyond. We’ve heard about emulator plug-ins that enable SL-like models (built within the same limitations) to be imported.. We’ve seen sculpties… But it still isn’t the fluid [...]
