Setting up Unity

Start Unity and follow on screen instructions to sign in/create an account
Create a new project
Copy the RosSharp folder from the latest commit of our repository into the Assets folder of your Unity project.

Note: Make sure that Unity is using .NET Framework 4.x, since it is required by RosBridgeClient. To do this:

In the Unity menu, go to Edit > Project Settings > Player.
In the Inspector pane, look under Other Settings > Configuration.
Set Scripting Runtime Version* to .Net 4.x Equivalent.

Now RosBridgeClient and UrdfImporter are included in your Unity project. Once the plugins have been loaded, the following new menu items will show up:

ROSBridgeClient > Generate Messages \ Transfer URDF to ROS \ Transfer URDF from ROS

GameObject > 3D Object > URDF Model (import) \ URDF Model (new)

Furthermore various scripts and GameObjects are now contained in the Assets folder. These accomplish different functionalities explained in these tutorials.
