Transfer diamonds from blender to unity

I was following this tutorial and i got really nice result.

what i found when i export my work to unity is just a normal 3D object !?

 

You can't just export shaders from one program to another. Blender (Cycles) uses it own shader system, Unreal Engine uses its own. Two different things.

You will build geometry in Blender and then build the material in Unreal Engine.

 

Why Unreal Engine ? I'm using unity and i can't install Unreal engine.

 

I too would like to know why, and if there is a solution. I'm currently going through the process of learning about Blender Cycles, with the intention of importing output into Unity.

 

Short answer is you can't do it.... This rant skips writing custom shader and is based around using all the built in ones.

It boils down to purpose. Unity normally needs to render 30 to 60 frames per second. Go below 30 and you have an angry gamer. Cycles will render an image every few seconds... Or minutes... Or hour... It depends on a lot of variables... But it comes down to Unity is meant for real time graphics... Cycles is meant for outputting still images & video. Cycles offers interactive feedback in Blenders viewport but normally call it real-time.

So why the rant? In the end its important to keep in mind each render (Unity/Cycle) solves a different problem, so the underlying code/logic from one to the other is often incompatible. Unity materials and light are designed to render fast. Cycles are meant to render realistic results...When you normally import a model from Blender, Maya, etc. (AFAIK) Unity isn't importanting those materials, but checking your mesh/material assignments and replacing them with Unity specific materials that are the closest fit. This is why you run into look development problems when moving from tool to tool. Different material /lighting systems...

Sorry for the long post but I hope it makes sense.

UT's own gem shader might do the trick.

 

Unity has a Gem shader.
