Hello everyone, I am a junior developer I got hands-on with a project where I should develop a mobile app containing multiple 2d games my initial UI stack was React Native for the UI and Unity for the games, the app is UI heavy so unity alone wasn't enough, but I recently found that I could develop everything with Flutter from the app to the game ... my question is, do you think it's a good idea or am I shooting myself in the foot?

We already have an existing 3d interactive application for windows, mac, and iOS devices and have planned to move that app to the web for high availability to different types of users. I have been searching for different options for it. Our existing application is made in Unity so we prefer to work on unity webgl but it also has its drawbacks. Other than that we are also thinking to change the tech stack to three.js or BabylonJS due to their high compatibility with the web ecosystem.\nI want to know which engine/library/framework we should use for the development of our 3d web application. Also with unity webgl, we want to develop all UI parts in web technologies only and will use the unity3d for 3d part only. \n\n

Points that are very important to consider - \n1. Memory optimization and allocation\n2. Quality\n3. Shaders\n4. Materials\n5. Lighting\n6. Mesh editing, mesh creation at runtime\n7. Ar\n8. Vr\n10. Support on different browsers including mobile browsers\n11. Physics(gravity, collision, cloth simulation, etc.)\n12. Initial load time\n13. Speed and performance\n14. Max vertices count. What happens when we load models exceeding max vertex count?\n15. Development time\n16. Learning curve (Unity3d we already working on)\n17. Ease of use. What artists can do using any platform eg. in unity3d, artists can edit materials, set up lighting etc?\n18. Future scope\n19. Scalability\n20.

    Hello everyone, I am a junior developer I got hands-on with a project where I should develop a mobile app containing multiple 2d games my initial UI stack was React Native for the UI and Unity for the games, the app is UI heavy so unity alone wasn't enough, but I recently found that I could develop everything with Flutter from the app to the game ... my question is, do you think it's a good idea or am I shooting myself in the foot?

    Need help with suggestions to use either Unity or ViroReact. I need to develop an AR mobile application that is responsive and supports 3d animation. At the same time, I need to create a mini game and use a geofence to make my application fully function.

    We already have an existing 3d interactive application for windows, mac, and iOS devices and have planned to move that app to the web for high availability to different types of users. I have been searching for different options for it. Our existing application is made in Unity so we prefer to work on unity webgl but it also has its drawbacks. Other than that we are also thinking to change the tech stack to three.js or BabylonJS due to their high compatibility with the web ecosystem. I want to know which engine/library/framework we should use for the development of our 3d web application. Also with unity webgl, we want to develop all UI parts in web technologies only and will use the unity3d for 3d part only.

    Points that are very important to consider - 1. Memory optimization and allocation 2. Quality 3. Shaders 4. Materials 5. Lighting 6. Mesh editing, mesh creation at runtime 7. Ar 8. Vr 10. Support on different browsers including mobile browsers 11. Physics(gravity, collision, cloth simulation, etc.) 12. Initial load time 13. Speed and performance 14. Max vertices count. What happens when we load models exceeding max vertex count? 15. Development time 16. Learning curve (Unity3d we already working on) 17. Ease of use. What artists can do using any platform eg. in unity3d, artists can edit materials, set up lighting etc? 18. Future scope 19. Scalability 20. Integration with web ecosystem

    I want to create an application in Unity in which all my UI parts will be created using web technologies (Html, CSS, JavaScript, React, etc). This Means the whole UI will be handled in web technologies and the 3D rendering (shaders, lighting, materials, etc everything) will be handled in unity3d.

    I have the following questions - 1. Is this possible?

    1. If yes, then what tools/frameworks/technologies should we use? Please share some useful links.

    2. Should we use react or vue for UI or the basic Html, CSS, JavaScript with a Bootstrap theme?

    We want to create a 3D web and desktop(Windows and macOS) application with a lot of functionalities. This is a 3D furniture customization application in which we give options to add, delete, scale, move, rotate objects. Something like a floor planner. We are also going to add AR and VR.

    I am thinking about using Electron or Unity. Please recommend what should I choose for this purpose. Please consider that we have to develop for web and desktop (windows and mac) all platforms.
