ArcGIS Maps SDK For Unity Demo

Using the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unity and Unreal engine, you can integrate your 3D application or game with various 3D Maps using real world GIS mapping.
This demonstration is a personal project, I have no affiliation with Esri, ArcGIS or Unity.
All tools shown in this video are currently free to download. This demo uses Unity's Universal Render Pipeline (URP). This SDK also provides a High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) prefab for better graphics, not shown here.
Free sign up for beta developers of the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unity and Unreal engine.

This is reeeeally cool. Thank you for posting this

Just recently got this package off the ArcGIS website, but it didn't seem to come with a prefab scene or things like weather effects. I followed the tutorial and got a basic New York map set up with buildings, but layers like population density don't seem to be showing up properly. Any tips?

Great video!

wow amazing

[@user-lg2gn6gy9t]

how to get co-ordinates GPS location, and rotation i.e. latitude, longitude, altitude, heading and other on game window screen. can you please shear

[@yuguojiang9408]

I wonder what you use to make your lightning effect? A plug-in?

[@waytop4916]

one question: the data stream is using 3dtile format? tks

[@woblewoble]

I'm trying to figure out how to have the buildings generated in the samples also come with textures, is that something that map data provides via OSM or other services?

Hi!, It's amazing your video using with the SDK for Unity. I'm trying to use the SDK, but I can't to add a Mesh Collider to relief (min 3:29). I started the project, I copied a part of relief, I stopped the project, and I pasted them in an empty GameObject... but when I add the mesh collider I don't have your same result. ¿Can you help me please?

[@dickespargel1365]

I'd also like to know how to bake and extract the MeshCollider data

[@treesandcode8259]

Hi, I did make another video about extracting the mesh data on this channel using a tool called FBX exporter. Check that out for some info, however since then the new SDK has built in mesh colliders now natively.

[@DEFEND_backup]

Very awesome video - thanks! Do you consult?

[@kartikaeyakumar770]

Can we get textures on the buildings? Love the ending BTW!😂😂

[@treesandcode8259]

Hi, yes textures are supported but you have to look around at what maps are available. I'm not sure if some require a paid subscription or not. You can also join the beta and ask around there. Here are a few for example: 3d buildings with textures in San Diego: runtime.maps.arcgis.com/home/webscene/viewer.html?webscene=ccb12286f303493291609e5dc8881e38 other maps and map servers: tiles.arcgis.com/tiles/P3ePLMYs2RVChkJx/arcgis/rest/services runtime.maps.arcgis.com/home/gallery.html?focus=scenes&view=grid&sortOrder=desc&sortField=relevance services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services

[@kartikaeyakumar770]

@@treesandcode8259 Hey thanks for replying. While ArcGIS does a very good job at displaying 3d data of mountains and other geographical entities, its not that good when it comes to city scapes. I've tried importing the free 3d maps available on arcgis(like the ones you provided above) in the arcgis unity sdk but the models imported are not much photorealistic. I was wondering if there was a way to import high quality 3d map models into unity(something like google earth) I've searched for it a lot but I can't seem to find a way to do this. Google earth doesn't have any kind of API to do this, bing maps SDK for unity has a limit on its geographical size, google maps sdk for unity only provides untextured building models etc etc. Please let me know if there is a way to do this! Thanks

[@treesandcode8259]

You can try HDRP if you haven't already, but you are probably correct that the building materials/textures just may not be high quality yet. That would explain why they chose to use a city with no material in the demo.

[@kartikaeyakumar770]

Yeah maybe. Well I'm building to a mobile device so I can't use HDRP. Anyways thanks for your help!

[@toddbw11]

Can you explain how you setup the water shader for the project?

[@treesandcode8259]

Sorry for the long delay, the water shader is super simple. Just grab any water shader, like the free ones showcased in the Unity standard assets. simply put that water shader (flat plane object) at low altitude (zero-ish) with a location component and the water hovers over sea-level on the map above by 1 pixel. Quick easy way to do it. if you wanted to carve out the actual water on the map for see through water that would be different. What I did was basically hide the ocean images with a water plane

Any chance you want to share your project?

[@jasperalblas1580]

Looks amazing btw!

[@haroldkrivell2524]

Terrain extraction. How can it be done so a terrain, texture and collision is saved to a project?

[@treesandcode8259]

you an use FBXexporter to grab and export the mesh, also the new arcGIS sdk has built in mesh colliders now

[@orhankrc1106]

can you share your project ?
