Next generation of Game Engines?
With Unity 3 you've got the ultimate killer combo of features, tools, and pure, unrefined power.
High End Rendering Features
Unity 3 brings deferred lighting to your fingertips, wrapped around fully customizable image effects, dynamic real-time shadows, lightmap/realtime light blending, full shader support, and beyond. We even provide source code for all built-in shaders and effects, so you can tweak to your heart's content.
Extremely Publishable
Unity can build Standalone players for that classic game experience. Ship your title as a downloadable game wrapped in an installer, distribute via Steam or other service, or box it up on a DVD and get it on store shelves. The choices are yours to make, and anything is possible.
Meaningful Development Tools
Unity 3 works for you with usability improvements to build your games faster. As you iterate, the built-in Profiler helps you find out exactly where your time is spent to nail that target framerate. For complex coding tasks, the Debugger lets you step through your code and watch variables line-by-line with MonoDevelop.
Performant
Unity is the only engine on the planet that is fast enough to run on the tiniest mobile devices while retaining the full feature set of top-tier engines. This means that whatever your user's hardware is, Unity will help you maximize their experience.
Living Updates
Just because it's a Standalone game doesn't mean it has to be the same exact experience each day. Keep your game as dynamic as possible by offering new content and connectivity using the Web, WWW downloads, and social network APIs.
Drool-Inducing Polish
Our unique Dual-Lightmapping approach gives you fantastic fidelity and scalability in any kind of environment, all while keeping your game assets looking gorgeous. Occlusion Culling keeps your rendering queue streamlined even in the most intensive, detailed scenes.
Windows and Mac
Unity has been tightly optimized for both platforms – we're keeping on top of the latest changes on the platforms — from OS updates to new driver releases. Direct3D powers Windows Standalones using the latest graphics technologies and techniques, and OpenGL on OSX is as robust as ever.
No Driver Hassles
Unity is compatibility-tested on a huge array of hardware – everything from the latest and greatest to ancient drivers on top of even older hardware. We spend this huge effort to make sure that your game will just work on anything when you ship it.
