Hello everyone, another week another update. We’ve made great deal of progress in our Unreal MassEntities demo and developed actionable goals for Unity. Let’s go over everything.

• Successfully migrated Houdini city generation work to the virtual machine.
• Secured a graphics card for the virtual machine to get rendering to function in Houdini.
• Completed migration of our Unreal work to version 5.1.
• Established foundation for building more behaviors in Unreal.
• Assessed how actionable CAE’s provided behaviors can be in Unity DOTS:
  • Basic avoidance and movement very possible.
  • Boids sample for flocking behavior and physics samples for collisions.
  • Pathfinding and more complex behaviors are not feasible with remaining time.

Here’s what we discussed in our meeting with CAE:

• Houdini work on the virtual machine.
• Unreal demo for the foundations set up in preparation for more behaviors.
• Showing performance relative to number of pathfinding entities.
• Discussing faster than real time possibilities in Unreal.
• Considering plans moving forward in meeting others who work with Unreal in CAE to address performance and LOD.
• Asked for a list of possible behaviors to implement.
