Conversions

Conversions to and from the Pixyz Engine SDK can be done through the use of Definitions, structural representations of entities.

This package contains a Conversions class taking care of conversions of any Unity object or structure to its Pixyz equivalent through ToPixyz and ToUnity extension methods.

Materials

We recommend that you synchronize materials only if required. The reason is that you may lose information when converting material structures back and forth between Unity and Pixyz Engine.

This package can convert most of materials to the Pixyz framework (PBR structure). When converting back materials from Pixyz to Unity, materials are coming back as standard pipeline materials (e.g URP/Lit or HDRP/Lit).

The conversion comes with some limitations when not converting standard Lit materials:

• BiRP/URP: can only be generated in a deferred project.
• Space or time dependant procedural shaders will be "baked" in one arbitrary state.
