Help! Does Unity3D can load resources lazily?
Hello!everybody,I studied 3D game technology two months ago. I have realized develop 3D game from beginning is too difficulty! So I am looking for a powerful engine, I don't know unity3D whether meet our requirements or not. We are developing is a browser MMORPG, and hope player enter game as soon as possible. so We hope that engine doesn't loaded all resources when player enter game firstly. We need customize the load resouces strategy, like this: when player enter game, browser load necessary resources merely. like the collision data of scene, the pathfinding data of terrain, the rendering data of scene objects and other players in the centain areas, most other resources load when they needed. Doesn't unity3D can do it? How to do it? if not, does exist another engine can do this ? please help me, Thank you! lastly, Sorry for my pool English, I am Chinese.
Unity can download and then load resources at runtime. The concept is called Asset Bundles. Search for asset bundles and you'll find our more about them. the manual link for using them is here
http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Manual/AssetBundlesIntro.html
They are a pro only feature and as you can read there, loadin code and using it with them is not that easy but for all other stuff it's really working however you have to separate collision data from rendering data yourself by creating different prefabs for them or telling objects to load their rendering data when they become available.
You simply make them in editor and download and use them whenever you want. Not that simple but fully managable and possible. As much as i know other engines which have browser plugins like shiva3d are not comparable to unity for doing 3d browser based games and this is not because i am a unity user. They don't have physX, none of the unity's advanced rendering techniques and web player penetration and lots of other features which i can not list all here. For doing server side stuff i can recommend UnityPark suite from www.muchdifferent.com Oh and use this website and your English will get better and better.
thankyou！
