Your data is beautiful. People should see just how beautiful it is.

Now you can connect your iTwin data to Unreal Engine with the new iTwin Exporter for Datasmith. Unreal Engine is one of the most widely used 3D engines for high-fidelity real time visualizations in architecture, film, TV, and video games. Not only can you export your iTwin’s contents to the Datasmith format to fit excellently with Unreal’s existing development pipelines, but you can even export schedule scripts directly into Unreal from iModels, and watch your project be built with photo-realistic materials in a real-time visualization right before your eyes.

With its impressive list of visualization technologies, powerful visual no-code development, and thriving community, connecting your data to Unreal Engine is yet another way to get even more out of your iTwin.

Download the iTwin Exporter for Datasmith now at https://developer.bentley.com/unreal/ and get started with the starter tutorial.
