Kanzi Project Templates

Kanzi Project Templates are automotive 3D visualization reference projects that demonstrate Kanzi’s rendering and HMI capabilities, and serve as a ready-made foundation for your own applications.

Requirements

The AirFlow Template, Car Template, and Raytracing Template make use of the Kanzi Particles plugin. Match the template version with the Kanzi Studio and and plugin versions it supports.

For example, use together:

• Kanzi Studio 4.0.0 and Kanzi Particles 0.9.0-beta3

• Kanzi Studio 4.1.0 and Kanzi Particles 3.0.0

The Advanced Drive Mode Template and the Raytracing Template make use of the Instanced Mesh plugin. The plugin is available in the Kanzi Package Manager in the kanzi-conan-external repository, which is installed automatically along with Kanzi Studio 4.1.0. See Installing required plugins using Kanzi Package Manager.

Installing Kanzi Project Templates

When using the Kanzi Portal to download the Kanzi Project Templates and Kanzi Particles, selecting the Kanzi Studio version you are using ensures the matching template and plugin versions are downloaded.

Installing required plugins using Kanzi Package Manager
