Import Into Unity

Import Your Assets

Open your scene in Unity and copy the Backglass.fbx into your models folder, and Backglass Albedo.png as well as Backglass Thickness.png into the textures folder. You can do that by dragging the files from the file explorer into Unity's Project window.

Note

We recommend storing models at Assets/<Table Name>/Models, textures at Assets/<Table Name>/Textures, and materials at Assets/<Table Name>/Materials.

Copy assets into your Unity project

Add the Backglass to the Scene

In the Project window, select the Backglass prefab (your FBX). In the inspector, uncheck Convert Units and hit Apply.

Drag the backglass it into your scene view.

In scene, but too large

Ouch, that's too large and not oriented correctly. Let's fix that. In the inspector, set Rotation to -90/180/90 and the scale to 1 on all axes. Then use the Move Tool in the scene view to position it correctly.

Correctly positioned in the scene

Create the Material

In the Project window, navigate to your Materials folder, right click, select Create -> Material, and name the new material Backglass. Set the following properties:

Enable Alpha Clipping to make the score reels visible through the transparent areas.
Material Type to Translucent
Base Map to Backglass Albedo (use the small target icon to search)
Smoothness to something high like 0.97
Thickness Map to Backglass Thickness
For the Diffusion Profile, use the Project window and navigate to Packages/VisualPinball.Unity.Hdrp/Assets/Settings and drag and drop Translite into the slot (it cannot be searched after because it's part of an external package).

Apply the Material

In the Project window, navigate back to your materials, drag and drop the Backglass material onto the backglass in your 3D view, and...

Material applied

Voilà!

To test the thickness mask, place a light source behind the backglass and move it around:

Moving light

Finally, in the Hierarchy window, move the Backglass game object from the root into your table structure. Best practice is to create a Back Box parent where you keep all your game objects that are part of the back box.
