The document outlines how to integrate various data types into Unreal Engine for real-time experiences using FME. It showcases different demos, including converting architectural models, floor plans, and multiple data sources into immersive environments. The aim is to enhance exploration, communication, and collaboration across various industries.
Your Data in Unreal: How to bring your data into real-time environments
- 1. Your Data in Unreal: How to bring your data into real-time environments
- 2. Goals Learn how to bring your data into Unreal Engine so anyone can experience it in a real-time environment. ● Use FME to integrate BIM, CAD, GIS, point cloud, rasters, and more. ● Use Unreal to render, share, and explore the data.

- 6. Why Game Engines? When you bring your data into Unreal, you’re enabling anyone to explore and interact with it as a character in a real-time environment.
- 7. Game Environments for Any Industry ✓ Stakeholders can explore data models in rich detail. ✓ Better design communication and collaboration. ✓ Better quality control. ✓ Virtual site visits for buildings & environments. ✓ Easy sharing. More in our latest blog on safe.com/blog
- 8. BTW... If you like FME Workbench, you might like Unreal Blueprint!
- 9. Let’s make a game. Right here. Right now. Demo 1: BIM to Unreal Engine
- 10. The source: Revit model The source: https://www.nibs.org/page/bsa_common bimfiles
- 11. The workspace
- 12. The output: FME Lizard’s home Download: Win64 MacOS
- 13. Key takeaways ● Making Unreal games can be easy ● Minimal amount of transformers for a quick prototype (but not the best!) ● Make sure you use meshes
- 14. Now you want to take it further
- 15. Demo 2. HOK floor plan
- 16. The source: PNG floor plan
- 17. The workspace
- 18. The output: Let’s discuss seating Download: Win64 MacOS
- 19. Key takeaways ● Organize geometry hierarchy any way you want ● Set or change names and properties of geometries, materials, and textures ● Fix problems and simplify geometries ● Use instances
- 20. Demo 3. Digital memorial Amache project
- 22. Amache site in the past and today
- 23. The source: A lot of data of all types ● CAD ● GIS layers ● Ortho imagery ● Historic map scans ● Textures ● Point clouds from drone videos (Pix4D) ● 3D models from drone videos (Pix4D) ● Web articles and photos (for reference)
- 24. The source: A lot of data of all types
- 25. The workspaces Barrack parametric drafting Barbed wire texture and model Ortho analysis for grassed area extraction Final assembly Historic map georeferencing ...and more
- 26. The output: Digital Memorial
- 27. The output: Digital Memorial Download: Win64 MacOS
- 28. Key takeaways ● FME easily brings data from multiple sources and flexibly combines everything together ● Split big workflows into logical parts ● Unreal is not only about games
- 29. Over to Epic Games
- 30. Summary By using FME to integrate data and Unreal to build a game, we were able to explore any data in an immersive game environment. 1. We walked through a Revit architectural model in Unreal. 2. We converted a PNG floor plan to an immersive environment. 3. We integrated a lot of data types to create a digital version of a memorial. 4. We explored 3D data models in a real-time environment.
