VFX for Film

Framestore’s virtual art department has integrated v0.4.0’s USD workflow into their stagecraft pipeline. By pulling real-time elevation data from the Swiss Alps and combining it with instanced pine trees (using the new instancing engine), they generated a 16km digital mountain range for an upcoming action film in under four days.

Digital Twins for Smart Cities

The city of Maastricht (Netherlands) tested v0.4.0 to create an emergency response simulator. Using the semantic filter, they imported only buildings with fire hydrants or basement floors, then exported to Unreal Engine 5 with Nanite support. The new LOD system allowed a full 12km² twin to run at 60fps on a RTX 3070. maps model importer v0.4.0

Troubleshooting Common v0.4.0 Issues

As with any major release, early adopters have reported a few hiccups: Maps Model Importer v0

• Missing buildings in some regions: The Overture Maps data for Southeast Asia is incomplete. Switch your source to OpenStreetMap (slower but more complete) in the Provider settings.
• UV maps stretching on steep terrain: This is a known warp introduced by the new multi-threaded UV unwrapper. A workaround is to reduce the import resolution to “Medium” or check “Flatten UVs by gravity direction” in the Advanced Terrain tab.
• Plugin fails to open in Unity 2022.3: Ensure your Project Settings > Player > Allow unsafe code is enabled. Then re-import the .unitypackage.
