План развития Unity

When you chose to release to Google Play store with Android App Bundle AAB (more info https://blogs.unity3d.com/2018/10/03/support-for-android-app-bundle-aab-in-unity-2018-3-beta/), we check the size of AAB at the end of the build process. If it’s greater than 500Mb we display a warning, and give you the option to compute the sizes of the individual APKs.

Add support for Assembly Definition Reference (.asmref) files. These allow for adding additional source code directories to an existing Assembly Definition (.asmdef) file.

Methods for obtaining polygonal geometry from the NavMesh, compatible with the C# job system.

Added support for the cross-platform Intel lightmap denoiser. Intel Open Image Denoise can produce smooth noise free lightmaps with few samples.

• Reduce memory footprint on GPU when baking lightmaps by compressing normal vectors and albedo.
• Submesh support.
• Multiple importance sampling support.
• Performance Improvements.

Frame pacing delivers consistency of frame rate by enabling frames to be distributed with less variance between them, creating smoother gameplay.

• Add ability to hide/show Packages in the Project Browser and Object Picker, depending on the package type set in its manifest.
• Add button in Project Browser and Object Picker to toggle package visibility (include/exclude hidden packages).
• Add package `type` property and `hideInEditor` advanced property in the Package manifest Inspector.

Upgrade cloth lib from deprecated PxCloth to NvCloth.

Implement multi-threading support in WebAssembly using the upcoming Shared Array Buffers feature in Javascript. This will enable Unity's system and feature to perform faster and more efficiently on supported browsers.

Developers can now target the ARM64 64 architecture when building for the Universal Windows Platform.

Add a special path to support script-only fast iteration on Android mono.
Expand to assets hot reload based on addressables.

A form of rigging that uses a collection of interchangeable parts that connect together to create a modular rig. Each interchangeable part is comprised of a series of RigConstraints that defines how the part moves, deforms, and is influenced by other parts of the ControlRig.

Experimental support for incremental garbage collection, which should reduce stutters and time spikes.

• Fix Non-Uniform Scaling
• Double Sided GI Support
• Cast and Receive Shadows
• Enable on OS X and Linux

The GraphicsFormat APIs provide performance by default through a full support of all GPU formats through an explicit engine behavior controlled by the users to avoid that extra hidden copy that would limit the user creativity.

Add H265/HEVC transcoding support on Windows and OSX Editor

Experimental C# Job System support allows you to efficiently read and write particle data from within a C# Job with no additional copies of your particle data.

• Optix Denoiser

Improve the Shortcut Management in the Editor. Make it possible for users to be able to remap keyboard shortcuts, and let feature developers be able to expose actions that can be mapped to shortcuts. The system is able to gracefully handle conflicts, where 2 actions are assigned to the same keys.

Texture Mip Map Streaming was added in 2018.2 for Play Mode and Standalone players.

This new feature enables Texture Mip Map streaming in Edit Mode in the Editor:

• This saves GPU texture memory in Editor by only loading the mips required for the Scene View or Play Mode views.
• This feature is disabled by default but can be enabled in the Editor settings.

Timeline Signals are an easy way for Timeline to interact with objects in the scene. Using a signal emitter and a signal asset, you can trigger a signal receiver that will define a set of pre-configured reactions to your Timeline.

A new retained-mode GUI framework to rapidly develop performant and reusable Editor Extensions.

In the scene view or via the inspector, toggle hide/unhide on one or more selected GameObjects.

• In the scene view you can select multiple objects and hide them.
• In the inspector, a visual feedback will be added to the GameObject (Ex: color, icon, ...).
• In the inspector, you can toggle visibility with the same visual feedback.
• If the GameObject is a parent of other GameObjects, the user will be able to hide/unhide all object from the parent’s hierarchy or only hide/unhide the parent.

Provide a way for users to be able to manipulate the UNET network payload in order to add encryption and any extra layers of security as required by their projects.

This allows users to secure all UNET communication between their clients and servers, a requirement on the Xbox One platform when using cloud-based dedicated servers as well as something that more and more online games are interested in implementing for security purposes.

This feature has been released to and used by several users already as custom builds of 2017.4 and 2018.3.
This Epic covers the implementation for the following platforms:

• Windows
• Xbox
• Linux
• PS4
• Switch

Author VR in VR:

• Lay out your scenes in VR
• Adjust component properties while in VR
• Profile your performance as you edit
• Create custom tools and workspaces

Editor: Linux Support
Unity Feedback Link - Linux Support for Editor

Create a better, more adaptable input system for Unity.

• Event-based, framerate-independent input delivery
• Custom device creation
• More consistency between platforms and input devices
• Better integration of variety of input types
• Better support for multiple control schemes
• Better separation between input and game logic
• Deeper API access
• More customizability

The icons are getting a stylistic update, while being designed for greater consistency.

• Expose low-level collider primitives of circle, edge, polygon & capsule and ability to retrieve from existing Collider 2D components.
• New 2D collider with ability to be composed of low-level collider primitives.
• Super fast, primitive intersection tests with batching support not requiring 2D collider components.
• Gizmo support for primitive collider shapes of circle, edge, polygon & capsule. Useful in visualising/debugging intersection tests.

• Multi-instance 2D physics worlds.
• Ability to assign simulation group(s) to Rigidbody2D and simulate specific group(s) and/or calculate contacts for those group(s) only.
• Expose contact processing allowing users to defer contact solving, enable/disable contacts etc.

Addressable Assets handle the code complexity of creating, managing, and loading content by removing the steepest part of the learning curve and automating tedious tasks. Addressable Assets decouple the project code and content layout to eliminate the need for tracking assets and refactoring code. By starting with Addressable Assets, your game development can scale without increasing complexity. The game creator no longer needs to think about shipping details while making their game.

User definable IK chains

Add the ability to record Main and Mixer outputs to file

• Integrate V-HACD
• A single mesh can be automatically decomposed into a set of convex MeshColliders
• Helps with collision detection performance and accuracy

The basic player localization feature is a set of features to add localization support in games made with Unity.

Deeper, more prominent reporting of information about the player build process and outputs.

Polish the Hackweek X project on distributing lighting builds (precompute/baking) across machines on a LAN. The aim is to make a system that will automatically discover available machines and use them for time consuming lighting builds. No setup should be required. Video .

Extend Game View resolutions by also emulating a given DPI.
Particularly useful for getting accurate representations of UI layouts on target devices.

• Approximate/simplify for low-end GPUs like Mali-400
• Automatic switching between "do math in shader" vs "texture lookup table" depending on GPU
• Procedural Skybox shader optimizations
