    Hi!

    My attention is:
    I want the user to press a button to load a model ( from a folder of his choice ) into the application. I found a few ways to load content at runtime ( www-class, load.resources etc ) but i don't know what the thing is what i need ( i'm using unity pro + android basic )

    I'm pretty new to developing ( it's more for fun-purposes ) for android, so my questions are:
    • Is there a User Interface already existing for "Filebrowsing" on an Android Device
    • Which fileformat is possible to Load at Runtime ( obj, dae, 3ds, fbx )
    • Which commands ( WWW, Load.Resources ) will be the best for my chase ?
    :confused::confused:
    The model to load is not animated and has no materials, i just for watching it on a android device

    Would be happy about any tip!

    THX!!
    Robert

    We have been able to load in very large FBX and OBJ files at runtime on Mac or PC - not iOS or android... It has been particularly hard work! But the results are amazing... What is your application?!

    This video shows the editing of an empty model at runtime after it had been imported!

    can you give me some more info about the FBX you want to import? How big does it need to be? What software will it come from? Maybe we can help!

    The files would be exported from 3ds Max 2012 or Unity pro ( don't know what's the better way ).

    I found the AssetBundle Feature would be exactly what i need, but i've got only the android basic addon.

    Hi,

    I have the same problem that you, suppenhuhn. Did you discover how to do it? I really need to import .fbx files on my application and I haven't found the way yet. I read also about WWW class and AssetBundle but I cannot make it work.
    Any help? : )
    Cheers,
    Claudia.
