Integrating Vortex Studio with Unity

This is an updated version of Vortex Studio Unity Integration. Our new integration provides a full Unity workflow, allowing you to create and manage your simulations entirely within Unity. The new integration also brings expanded support for distributed simulation. With features like cable systems, earthworks, and two-way communication between Vortex and Unity via VHL interfaces, you can now create complex and synchronized simulations across multiple machines.

While introducing this new integration, we want to emphasize that our previous integrations are still available and supported. For distributed simulation, com.cmlabs.vortex.integration is designed to leverage Unity's rendering capabilities while running Vortex simulations on a distributed simulator. It remains a viable option for specific use cases. Similarly, the standalone integration com.cmlabs.vortex.integration.standalone for Unity remains valuable for integrating existing simulation content into Unity within a single process, offering flexibility for single-process simulations, VR projects, and the implementation of advanced logic in Unity.

We highly recommend that users consider upgrading to the new integration to take advantage of the comprehensive benefits it offers. With full Unity integration, two-way communication, and enhanced distributed simulation capabilities, it provides the most efficient and powerful solution for creating immersive and realistic simulations.
