1.1 Unity on Windows

Installing Unity

Download and install Unity

Setting up Unity

Start Unity and follow on screen instructions to sign in/create an account
Create a new project
Import the ROS# asset package by going to Assets > Import Package > Custom Package... and select RosSharp.unitypackage from ros-sharp/Release
Select all sources and press Import

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 > Import URDF Assets...
GameObject > 3D Object > URDF Model...

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