I compiled everything fine on Windows and installed the dlls in the Unity (4.6) application folder. Now when I start Unity and also when I press the Generate-button on the Prt4Unity-script I get the following error popup:

Unable to locate com.esri.prt.examples.UnityEncoder

In the Unity console the following errors appear:

[2015-Jun-16 12:06:03.690683] [error] prt::createEncoderInfo failed, exception caught: 'Encoder not found.'
UnityEngine.Debug:LogError(Object)

please note we only tested the unity example with Unity 4.3. we hope to update the example to unity 5 soon...

Unity 4.3 is almost two years old... I suggest you remove the listed Unity feature (under CityEngine SDK on the CityEngine feature page) until you provide a working version. Otherwise paying customers may not be amused...

there seems to be a misunderstanding. the feature page states:

"The CityEngine SDK allows you to embed procedural geometry creation in other applications such as [...], game engines (e.g. Unity3D, Unreal Engine), [...]."

we do not provide the actual unity plugin as a product ourselves at this point. the example code in this repo is just a template to get our customer started. we are very happy to receive pull requests (e.g. to get it to work with unity 5).
