Earlier this year, we announced our partnership with PiXYZ Software to provide Unity automotive and transportation customers with the best CAD import and data preparation software for real-time 3D. Since then, we’ve been hard at work improving how our products work together and developing new features.
今年早些时候，我们宣布了与PiXYZ Software的合作关系，旨在为Unity汽车和运输客户提供最佳的实时3D CAD输入和数据准备软件。 从那时起，我们一直在努力改善产品的协作方式并开发新功能。
With PiXYZ for 2018.1 came new algorithms and an improved interface. Today, we are excited to announce a refreshed set of PiXYZ products for 2018.2 is available from the Unity Store.
随着PiXYZ for 2018.1的出现，新算法和界面得到了改进。 今天，我们很高兴地宣布， Unity Store中提供了适用于2018.2的一组更新的PiXYZ产品。
使用Python脚本自动进行CAD数据导入和准备-现在包含在PiXYZ STUDIO中 (Automate CAD data import and prep with Python scripting — now included in PiXYZ STUDIO)
One of the biggest changes is the addition of Python script editing to PiXYZ STUDIO. Python editing was previously only available with the purchase of PiXYZ STUDIO Editor, now all PiXYZ STUDIO customers can modify and create scenarios for automating the import and preparation of CAD data. PiXYZ STUDIO now also comes with ready-to-use scenarios for common data preparation tasks and a new Import Wizard.
最大的变化之一是在PiXYZ STUDIO中增加了Python脚本编辑功能。 以前只能通过购买PiXYZ STUDIO Editor进行Python编辑，现在，所有PiXYZ STUDIO客户都可以修改和创建用于自动导入和准备CAD数据的方案。 PiXYZ STUDIO现在还提供用于常见数据准备任务的即用场景和新的导入向导。
Despite all this added functionality, the price of PiXYZ STUDIO remains the same! As a result of this change, PiXYZ STUDIO Editor is being retired – existing customers will be able to renew with PiXYZ STUDIO when current subscription terms expire.
尽管具有所有这些附加功能，但PiXYZ STUDIO的价格仍保持不变！ 由于此更改，PiXYZ STUDIO编辑器将被淘汰–当前的订阅条款到期后，现有客户将可以使用PiXYZ STUDIO进行续订。
We are also introducing a new product, PiXYZ STUDIO.batch, which provides all of the features of PiXYZ STUDIO plus scripted file input and output. This enables batch processing of large volumes of data, and STUDIO.batch is well suited to the needs of enterprise customers – if you’re interested, please contact your Unity representative.
我们还将推出一种新产品PiXYZ STUDIO.batch，该产品提供PiXYZ STUDIO的所有功能以及脚本文件输入和输出。 这样就可以批量处理大量数据，并且STUDIO.batch非常适合企业客户的需求-如果您有兴趣，请联系您的Unity代表 。

PiXYZ REVIEW增强了协作 (Enhanced collaboration comes to PiXYZ REVIEW)
PiXYZ REVIEW allows for the easy import of a wide range of CAD models, point clouds, and mesh data from a wide variety of sources for efficient collaboration among teams and partners: engineers, project leaders, marketing product managers, training experts, VR experts. Now with v2018.2, PiXYZ REVIEW includes AR and VR features that were previously exclusive to PiXYZ REVIEW Premium. All PiXYZ REVIEW customers can now collaborate using a mixture of immersive AR and VR devices as well as conventional displays. With this change, PiXYZ REVIEW Premium is retiring, and the price of PiXYZ REVIEW is aligning with PiXYZ PLUGIN for Unity.
PiXYZ REVIEW允许轻松地从各种来源导入广泛的CAD模型，点云和网格数据，以实现团队和合作伙伴之间的高效协作：工程师，项目负责人，市场产品经理，培训专家，VR专家。 现在有了v2018.2，PiXYZ REVIEW包含了以前在PiXYZ REVIEW Premium中独有的AR和VR功能。 现在，所有PiXYZ REVIEW客户均可使用沉浸式AR和VR设备以及传统显示器进行协作。 通过此更改，PiXYZ REVIEW Premium即将退休，并且PiXYZ REVIEW的价格与Unity的PiXYZ PLUGIN一致。
强大的功能提供便利和扩展功能 (Powerful features provide convenience and extended capabilities)
PiXYZ CONNECT is server-based and provides a web front-end so larger companies can provide CAD import and data preparation as an internal web service for employees. Now with v2018.2, PiXYZ CONNECT can, together with a license of Unity, directly generate Unity runtimes. This is a powerful feature that supports a wide range of enterprise applications. In addition, PiXYZ STUDIO and PiXYZ CONNECT share some powerful new features. Both products can now generate lightweight proxy meshes, which can be useful to provide geometrically accurate and highly performant meshes for collision, light baking, and other purposes.
PiXYZ CONNECT基于服务器，并提供Web前端，因此较大的公司可以为员工提供CAD导入和数据准备，作为内部Web服务。 现在有了v2018.2，PiXYZ CONNECT可以与Unity许可证一起直接生成Unity运行时。 这是一项强大的功能，可支持各种企业应用程序。 此外，PiXYZ STUDIO和PiXYZ CONNECT共享一些强大的新功能。 两种产品现在都可以生成轻型的代理网格，可用于提供几何精确且高性能的网格，以用于碰撞，轻度烘烤和其他目的。

PiXYZ Studio产生用于碰撞和烘焙的轻型代理网格。
PiXYZ has always been a great solution for decimating meshes from CAD data, as PiXYZ understands NURBS patches and can optimize decimation while maintaining smooth surface curvature. But with this release comes a new algorithm option for decimating meshes that are more organic in form or which are purely mesh data with no NURBS patch information. Together with the LOD creation tools in PiXYZ, this provides more power than ever to generate exactly the content you need, whether you are creating marketing experiences or mobile training apps.
PiXYZ一直是从CAD数据抽取网格的绝佳解决方案，因为PiXYZ理解NURBS面片并可以优化抽取效果，同时保持平滑的曲面曲率。 但是，随着此版本的发布，出现了一个新的算法选项，用于抽取形式更自然的网格或纯净的网格数据，而没有NURBS补丁信息。 结合PiXYZ中的LOD创建工具，无论您是创建营销体验还是移动培训应用程序，它都提供了比以往任何时候都强大的功能，可以精确地生成您所需的内容。
PiXYZ Plugin for Unity now offers options for associating LODs within the object hierarchy.
PiXYZ Plugin for Unity现在提供在对象层次结构中关联LOD的选项。
PiXYZ PLUGIN also sees its share of new features. Metadata is now imported as properties within Unity when the full product hierarchy is imported, something which previously required PiXYZ STUDIO. Once you import a CAD file, your metadata is visible in the Inspector window for each object in the hierarchy. Note that this works only for uncompressed hierarchies.
PiXYZ PLUGIN也看到了其新功能。 现在，当导入整个产品层次结构时，元数据现在作为Unity中的属性导入，以前需要使用PiXYZ STUDIO。 导入CAD文件后，您的元数据将在“检查器”窗口中显示为层次结构中的每个对象。 请注意，这仅适用于未压缩的层次结构。
大型和复杂的CAD数据模型的高辛烷值性能改进 (High-octane performance improvements for large and complex CAD data models)
The most dramatic improvement comes from work we’ve done together with PiXYZ to optimize performance of the PiXYZ PLUGIN for Unity. We identified opportunities to more efficiently call into Unity APIs and PiXYZ used the new C# Job System to create Game Objects in Unity. The combination of these changes has resulted in impressive improvement, especially on larger and more complex models. We’ve seen reductions in the time to import and prepare CAD data ranging from 50% to more than 80%!
最大的改进来自我们与PiXYZ共同完成的工作，以优化PiXYZ PLUGIN for Unity的性能。 我们发现了可以更有效地调用Unity API的机会，PiXYZ使用了新的C＃Job System在Unity中创建游戏对象。 这些变化的结合带来了令人印象深刻的改进，尤其是在更大，更复杂的模型上。 我们发现导入和准备CAD数据的时间减少了50％到80％以上！
