Intentionally or unintentionally – the partnership between Unity Technologies and PiXYZ Software was announced on the same day as the beta release of Unreal Studios (Epic Games). Just like its brother, the software is intended to simplify familiar tasks for processing and preparing CAD data.
The PiXYZ plug-in offers a menu option in the Unity Editor for importing CAD data in all common formats. Added to this are the familiar options for scaling, orientation, tessellation, etc.
Unity is not the sole winner here, however. The plug-in can be integrated and used in UE4 just as well.
