Metaviz is a web-based visual productivity & creativity tool. You can express your ideas or use it for visual scripting.
Render pipeline compatibility
The Built-in Render Pipeline is Unity’s default render pipeline. It is a general-purpose render pipeline that has limited options for customization. The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that is quick and easy to customize, and lets you create optimized graphics across a wide range of platforms. The High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that lets you create cutting-edge, high-fidelity graphics on high-end platforms.

Additional compatibility information

The tool has no dependencies itself. Only included Demo depends on URP and TextMeshPro.

Description

The package contains the free Metaviz diagram tool, which you open locally as a normal html file in the browser.

NOTE: only Chrome, Opera, Edge and Firefox are supported at the moment as Metaviz require the use of Native Filesystem API.


You can write your thoughts on a board, design a scenario, or (I especially encourage you to) create in JavaScript your own nodes that will serve as a visual script for your game. This greatly improves the team's workflow.


As an example of custom nodes, a demo of a romantic visual novel is included in the package with nodes for creating a dialog tree.


The diagram data is stored in a file in a version control (e.g. git) friendly format, so you put the xml file in your repository along with the project.


When the game is launched - the xml file is read from Resources by the attached C# Unity plugin.


Quick start:
