Back by popular demand: we’re offering another webinar on FME and gaming, with some new tips and tricks up our sleeves! There are two different ways to interpret “Gaming with FME,” so we’re covering both of them. The first type of gaming; using FME to transform real-world data to formats understood by gaming engines like Unreal Engine or Roblox. Practically, this is a great way for businesses to further public engagement, foster conversations in a visual way, and explore their data in a virtual world. He's also taken the power of FME and applied it to creating a phenomenal escape room and virtual booth, which we recently showcased at the Esri UC this past July. During this webinar, get a behind-the-scenes look into how these whole other worlds were created. The second type of gaming; building your very own games with FME and using FME to run them. Over the last few years, Dmitri has built some mind-blowing games that have never been featured in a whole webinar before. Whether you’re a N00b to FME, or having been using it for years, you’re bound to level up your skills in this webinar.

repair and validate geometries
● Set or change appearances
● Generate meshes
● Create geometry definitions
and instances
● Build named object hierarchies

17. FME
Workspaces
can be simple...
or complicated...
as required.

35. Building Games
with FME

36. Browser Games. Examples
Play this game Play this game

37. ● User clicks the game link
● FME workspace generates new game layout and an HTML file
● Browser opens the HTML with the new game
● HTML buttons execute workspaces (next move or new game)
● Workspaces analyse the input and the board and generate new HTML for the next move
● Browser shows the board after the next move
The complexity of JavaScript required:
function HumanMove(color) {
window.open(" https://bluesky-safe-software.fmecloud.com/fmedatastreaming/DmitriPublic/HumanThinking.fmw ?
COLORSELECTED="+color+"&FEATURETYPES=210204_f84e12cb_6345_42d6_bc38_e365973e4ae9", "_self");
