Rsvfx
Rsvfx is an example that shows how to connect an Intel RealSense depth camera to a Unity Visual Effect Graph.
System requirements
- Unity 2019.1 or later
- Intel RealSense D400 series
- Git (required for importing external packages)
This repository only contains Windows and Linux versions of the RealSense plugin binaries. For macOS, the plugin binary must be installed separately.
This project uses Git support on Package Manager to import external packages. To use the functionality, Git must be installed to the system. See the forum thread for futher details.
How it works
The PointCloudBaker component converts a point cloud stream sent from a RealSense device into two dynamically animated attribute maps: position map and color map. These maps can be used in the "Set Position/Color from Map" blocks in a VFX graph, in the same way as attribute maps imported from a point cache file.
Frequently asked questions
Is it possible with Kinect v2?
It's technically possible but requires a lot of changes to the PointCloudBaker component. I personally am not very motivated to support it because it's a discontinued product, and a successor product (Azure Kinect) is coming. Instead, I'd recommend following Depthkit. The developer seems to be trying VFX Graph support with Depthkit.
Which RealSense model fits best?
I personally recommend D415 because it gives the best sample density in the current models. Please see this thread for further information.
