Selecting your Engine

Unreal

The trueSKY Unreal plugin comes as either a branch of the Unreal engine on GitHub, or as a separate installer for the binary distribution. For further instructions, head over to our page trueSKY for Unreal.

Unity

The trueSKY Unity plugin comes as a Unity package; select the appropriate Unity package based on your Unity engine version. For further instructions, please head over to our page trueSKY for Unity.

Custom Engine (trueSKY SDK)

The trueSKY SDK can be integrated into any game or simulation software in two different ways. The first option is to dynamically link with the TrueSkyPluginRender library and API just as we do for Unity and Unreal. The second option is to link the trueSKY libraries directly and gain access the lower-level classes. To learn more about the trueSKY SDK, please head over to our page trueSKY SDK.

Tools and Tutorials

Sky Sequencer

We also have our Sky Sequencer. It is a standalone application, which can be used to create sequences that can be imported into trueSKY in any engine. To learn more about the Sky Sequencer, please head over to our page Sky Sequencer.
