High-quality remote/split rendering on the web! Stream Unity scenes into the browser using RenderFusion with ARENA!
RenderFusion is a form of "remote rendering", which uses a nearby powerful machine to render 3D content and streams the rendering results to a web browser. RenderFusion also employs "split rendering", which renders some portions of the 3D scene locally on the browser to reduce latency.
Note: this is an experimental ARENA feature, but is deployed on the main branch, so it works out the box!
(Scene from https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/essentials/tutorial-projects/book-of-the-dead-environment-hdrp-121175).
See demo videos: RenderFusion and Volumetric Capture and Streaming using RenderFusion!
We implement a custom layer on top of Unity's WebRTC package. See their Requirements.
See Installation section. For AR/VR clients, it is HIGHLY reccomeneded you use this package in URP for the best performance.
Once you have the relevant packages installed, press Play on the Unity Editor or build the Unity application, then enter the ARENA scene (https://arenaxr.org/<ARENA User Name>/<Scene Name>) on a web browser!
Open Samples~/URP.
Open Samples~/SRP.
Open Samples~/HDRP.
For a quick start, simply open Samples~/URP using the Unity Hub. Click on the ARENARenderFusion Game Object, change the Scene Name to your favorite ARENA scene, then press Play!
