5 years since the first commercial release of Unigine

The first commercial version of Unigine engine was released five years ago, on May 4, 2005. With the release number 0.3, it had codebase size of approximately 10% relative to the current one. At that time, there used to be 5 people on board.

Excluding support in Archiver.
Visualization of ambient occlusion.
Built-in packed resources instead of XPM files.
New 'Resource' tool for packing of resources to be built-in into the binary.
TTF fonts in ResourceEditor.
3x3 PCF for shadows in lightmap generator.
More optimal ambient occlusion for open spaces owing to branching in shaders.
Transformations of texture coordinates in ResourceEditor.
isNode(), isBody(), isJoint() functions in UnigineScript for pointer type detection.
