Overall Satisfaction with Unity

I currently use unity for architectural visualization and virtual production. One of the best use cases for us is to be able to utilize our existing 3d renderings and create a 1 to 1 environment that you can walk through in virtual reality. This has given both the designers and owners a better perspective on what is being built. This has also been utilized in pre-construction meetings to determine any underlying design issues and catch them before there are issues in the field. This has saved thousands of dollars and a tone of time in our schedule not having to deal with change orders.
  • 3D Rendering
  • 3D walk through in Virtual Reality
  • Interactive menus and UI within the environments
  • A larger marketplace
  • More Assets added to the base software
  • Better instructional videos
  • Rendering
  • VR capability
  • AR Capability
  • Multi Platform distribution
  • Saving money on construction design costs
  • Saved money on finding issues before they arise
  • Created a platform to per-cue future investments
We love utilizing unreal engines but we seem to have a better use case for the architectural visualization side of things. This has given us the ability to find better more photo-realistic assets from not only the marketplace but 3rd party sites that have a unity bases file to work off of.

Some great situation in which unity is good is the ability to visualize environments in real-time. This gives us the ability to work on detailed environments quicker and not have any rendering downtimes. Something I would not recommend using in unity is its native shaders and lightmapping. I will usually utilize 3rd party adds ons for these types of needs.
