3D Models

Scaling

Unity works with arbitrary units. The default physics work on the assumption that one unit is one meter. The VR-setup also assumes that one unit is one meter. Therefore all models should be designed in such a way that one unit is equal to one meter.

Here is a checklist for correct model scaling:

• The model was created in life size
• The model is exported to FBX with a scaling factor of one
• It is imported into Unity with a scaling factor of one
• It is placed in a scene with a scaling factor of one
• The model has the correct size for a VR-Player with a scaling factor of one

Rotation

Unity uses a left-handed coordinate system. Blender, right-handed.

In Unity, this is the rotation convention:

• Positive X: Right (red)
• Positive Y: Up (green)
• Positive Z: Forward (blue)

Importing

In order to prevent import issues during version upgrades all models should be included via FBX. Blender and other 3d-model files should not be placed inside the unity folder.
