NB: OMEN-Unity has been developed using Unity 2020 LTS (https://unity3d.com/fr/unity/qa/lts-releases?version=2020.3) . It is recommended to use this version of Unity. You can use a later version of Unity but be aware that we did not test every Predictive Unity features on these later versions.

Create a new project
Create a new project
Unity works with projects: a project is a set of assets (meshes, materials, scripts, animations,...) that are put together into scenes within the Unity Editor.
You can create a new project via the "New" button on the top right corner of the Unity Hub. If you have multiple versions of Unity installed on your machine, you can select the version of your project by clicking on the arrow in the "New" button.
Unity supports different types of projects. Predictive Engine for Unity only supports 3D and High Definition RP (HDRP) projects.
Install the Predictive Unity package in your project
Install the Predictive Unity package in your project
Predictive Unity is distributed as a Unity3D package. Using Predictive Unity in one of your projects consists in importing the *.unitypackage in the project.
You can import the package by dropping it in the “Project” tab or via the menu “Assets/Import Package/Custom Package…”.
If you installed Predictive Engine before creating your project, the package should be available at the following path: C:\Program Files\United Visual Researchers\UVR Predictive Engine 1.2\plugins\Unity.
If you got the package via the Asset store or another way, you must select the package on your machine.
HDRP Setup
HDRP Setup
Predictive Unity supports the Unity High Definition Rendering Pipeline (HDRP).
NB: Predictive Unity has been developed using version 10.6.0 of the HDRP. It is recommended to use this version of the package. You can use a later version of the HDRP package but be aware that we did not test every Predictive Unity feature on these later versions. The "High Definition RP" package version can be updated in the "Window/Package Manager".
The setup of an HDRP project with Predictive Unity is the same as for a standard 3D project, but once you have imported the *.unitypackage in your project, you need to follow the next steps:
Open the project settings via the menu "Edit/Project Settings...",
Open the "HDRP Default Settings" section,
Scroll down to the "Custom Post Process Orders" section,
Add the "UvrHdrpPostProcess" to the "After Post Process" list by clicking on the "+" button.
Upgrade a project with Predictive Unity
Upgrade a project with Predictive Unity
To upgrade Predictive Engine in one of your projects, you need to remove your current Predictive Unity plug-in from your project and reload it:
In the “/Assets” folder, delete the “/UVR/PredictiveEngine/Plugin” and the folder (make sure you do not store any personal data in this folder),
Import the new Predictive Unity package the same way you installed it the first time,
If you are in an HDRP project, make sure the "UvrHdrpPostProcess" is still referenced in the HDRP Project Settings (see section above).
