Q

Unity Before (Programming Features)

A
  • There have been many new changes to how we develop games in Unity.
  • Changes have helped us to make better games faster
  • Continue on this journey by showing new and improved programming features
18
Q

Unity 2021 LTS

A
  • The new 2021 LTS release continues our focus on quality, productivity, and performance for programmers.
  • We also see new features being integrated into older platforms
  • Finally, we see developer iteration time drop drastically.
19
Q

VFX Graph for URP / WebGL Support for SRP Batcher

A
  • Visual Effect (VFX) Graph is now officially supported by URP for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox
  • Unity 2021 LTS adds WebGL support for the SRP Batcher
  • Which enables improved performance that’s in line with our goal of achieving parity between the Built-In Render Pipeline and URP.
20
Q

Apple Silicon Support / Synchronous API for Addressables

A
  • Native support for the Unity Editor on Apple silicon and a stand alone player.
  • In the past Addressables only had asynchronous APIs
  • Increased options for games that need finely controlled download management.
21
Q

Improved Memory Profiler UI / Improved Performance in HDRP

A
  • Memory Profiler has had a pretty big overhaul in terms of UI
  • HDRP 12.0 includes production-ready integration for both NVIDIA and AMD’s enhanced resolution algorithms.
  • For more information consult our docs and Unity 2021 LTS release blog post.
22
Q

And lots more programmer features!

A
  • Again there are many more features that I have not mentioned.
  • Lots of improvements for XR developers
  • Also improvement to Mono and .NET which were a long time coming.
23
Q

Unity Before (Universal Render Pipeline)

A
  • Unity only provided one render pipeline
  • All features were shipped and most couldn’t be removed or turned off.
  • couldn’t be specified for a single game type so we made the Scriptable Render Pipeline
24
Q

Universal Render Pipeline

A
  • The SRP allows for multiple render pipelines to be used and created
  • Universal render pipeline is one of these
  • URP is one of the most used pipelines and is very powerful.
25
Q

URP 12 for Unity 2021 LTS

A
  • URP 12 is the latest version of URP
  • Has been the most feature packed release to date.
  • URP12 brings us much closer in feature-parity with our Built-in Render Pipeline
26
Q

Reflection Probe Blending / Decal System

A
  • Reflection probe blending and box projection support have been added to allow for better reflection quality
  • (left) No blending, (right) Blending, (middle) Blending and Box Projection for the most realistic look
  • Enables you to project decal materials into the surfaces of a Scene
27
Q

Deferred Rendering Path / Lens Flare System

A
  • Deferred rendering decouples the light calculation from scene geometry
  • It supports an unlimited number of real-time lights (before 8)
  • Lens Flares simulate the effect of lights refracting inside a camera lens
28
Q

Light Cookies / Enlightened Realtime GI

A
  • Light Cookies enable a technique for masking or filtering outgoing light and produce patterned illumination.
  • Can be used to change the appearance, shape, and intensity of cast light for artistic effects
  • Enlightened GI enrich your projects with more dynamic lighting effects
29
Q

Scene Debug View / Render Pipeline Converter

A
  • Scene Debug View allows users to inspect the properties of materials being rendered, how the light interacts with these materials, and how shadows and LOD operations are performed.
  • A new converter framework for migrating from the Built-in Render Pipeline to URP
  • It works for 2D and 3D projects, and covers: materials, Animation clips, and Rendering settings
30
Q

And lots more (URP)

A
  • Again there are many more features
  • Some things to note are: new package samples
  • And URP global settings
31
Q

Unity Before (General Solutions)

A
  • There was a time when unity was just an engine to build once and deploy everywhere.
  • Unity didn’t have many tools for live ops and beyond solutions beyond the engine
  • Now, Unity has many tools outside of creating your game.
32
Q

General Solutions

A
  • Vast amount of options and solutions we have outside of the editor.
  • General solutions cover everything from live ops to monetization
  • These solutions are just as important if not more than the Unity editor itself
33
Q

Product Chart

A
  • You can see here that there are 30 different solutions Unity has to offer
  • I’ll cover just a few of these coming up.
  • Three main groups of solutions: Create solutions, operate, and Success services
