Switching from Unity 3D to RSX Engine?
This is the Figma moment for 3D.
RSX Engine delivers the realtime 3D features and rendering quality teams expect, then replaces local-project, check-in and merge-heavy workflows with a live cloud-native workspace your team can open in the browser or on desktop.
RSX Engine vs. Unity 3D
Unity is a mature realtime 3D engine. RSX Engine reaches into the same core production territory, then changes the collaboration model entirely — the project is a live shared workspace instead of a collection of local workspaces that need to be synchronized.

The Figma model, built for realtime 3D.
The biggest RSX advantage is not another renderer checkbox. It is removing the friction between people, machines, files and builds while keeping the engine capabilities needed for serious 3D production.
Multiplayer Editing Is the Default
Artists, engineers and stakeholders can work in the same project and scene in realtime. Changes propagate immediately instead of waiting for check-ins, pulls, merges or scene handoffs.
Explore RSX EngineThe Browser Is a Full Editor
Open the same RSX project in a browser or on the desktop. Share access with a link and remove the workstation, installation and project-copy friction that traditional editors assume.
View the feature overviewThe Project Lives in the Cloud
Automatic cloud asset versioning, project permissions, references and shared access are part of the project model itself — not separate infrastructure teams must bolt onto a local editor.
Create your first projectNo Compromise on the Engine
Cinematic rendering, ray tracing, physics, animation, IK, state machines, navigation, node-based materials and extensible scene logic keep RSX in the same serious production conversation as established engines.
Explore RSX featuresBuilt for Modern Developers
Use native TypeScript with in-engine compilation and hot reload, build no-code systems with Carbon Logic, create node-based materials and extend the editor with plugins and custom resources.
Explore the code referenceThe Abstract Pipeline Is Already Inside
Optimize high-poly and CAD data with InstaLOD, manage and generate assets through Polyverse, process data in the cloud and deploy directly to the web without assembling a separate vendor stack.
Explore RSX EngineLeave the local-project workflow behind in 4 steps
Don't recreate every Unity convention one-for-one. Move one representative vertical slice first and use the switch to remove the synchronization and collaboration overhead that RSX was designed to eliminate.
Create an RSX Cloud Project
Start a new project from RSX Engine and choose the project or template that best matches your use case. The shared cloud project becomes the workspace from day one.
Create your first projectBring in a Representative Scene
Import a real slice of your Unity content. Bring over meshes, materials and animations, then use the integrated InstaLOD pipeline where source assets need optimization or CAD tessellation.
Explore the feature overviewRebuild Logic with TypeScript or Carbon
Move the important gameplay and application logic from C# into native TypeScript or Carbon Logic. Use hot reload to iterate while the project stays open and collaborative.
Explore the code referenceInvite the Team and Deploy
Share the live project instead of distributing project copies. Collaborate in realtime, give stakeholders the access they need and publish web or native deployments from the same project.
Explore RSX EngineReady for the Figma moment in realtime 3D?
Keep the engine features. Replace isolated local projects, synchronization overhead and heavyweight handoffs with a live collaborative workspace that runs in the browser and on the desktop.
Nobody else has the full stack.
Your competitors are still assembling their pipeline. You're already shipping.
Everyone else is stitching together six different vendors, wrestling with format conversions, and praying the handoffs don't break. Abstract is the only platform where optimization, materials, collaboration, and delivery were built as one system from day one.
No glue code. No integration nightmares. Just a pipeline that actually works.
