Creating Offline Maps to be loaded in Unity

paolo72

I've recently started using arcGIS Pro (version 3.2) and I’m trying to understand the correct procedure for creating offline 3D maps with ArcGIS Pro, which
I can then use inside Unity instead of the maps currently in use.

Currently, in Unity, I use a base map and the elevation layer loaded as follows:

arcGISMap.Basemap = new Esri.GameEngine.Map.ArcGISBasemap(Esri.GameEngine.Map.ArcGISBasemapStyle.ArcGISImageryStandard, APIKey); //no labels on the map

arcGISMap.Elevation = new Esri.GameEngine.Map.ArcGISMapElevation(new Esri.GameEngine.Elevation.ArcGISImageElevationSource("https://elevation3d.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/WorldElevation3D/Terrain3D/ImageServer", "Terrain 3D", ""));

And everything works.

I’ve noticed that if I create a global scene project with ArcGIS Pro, I get a similar result by selecting “World Imagery” as the basemap.

What I’d like to do is create offline maps from this project in ArcGIS Pro that I can bring into Unity.

Is this possible?

Alternatively, what could be a sensible approach to achieve the desired result?

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

I don't think it is currently possible to bring an entire 3D map offline into a single file and import it into Unity. But you can bring the different components of your 3D map from ArcGIS Pro offline. These docs provide more information on accessing the layers locally as well as the different methods to create the local files (which includes ArcGIS Pro):

Scene Layers:

• https://developers.arcgis.com/unity/layers/data-layers/scene-layers/#local-scene-layer-packages

Elevation:

Basemap:

• Image tile package: https://developers.arcgis.com/unity/layers/data-layers/image-tile-layers/#local-image-tile-packages
• Vector tile package: https://developers.arcgis.com/unity/layers/data-layers/vector-tile-layers/#local-vector-tile-packages
