UNIGINE released the updated version 1.1 of its remarkable Superposition benchmark with unlocked free VR mode for the Basic edition, and improved GPU detection.

The original 1.0 version was released in April, 2017 and became popular for its top-notch visuals powered by UNIGINE 2 Engine, extreme hardware stability testing and accurate results. Superposition continued a GPU benchmark series preserving the legacy of already widely spread Heaven and Valley.

Updated version of the Superposition Benchmark is available for free download from benchmark.unigine.com

According to general estimates, autonomous vehicles will become a part of our common landscape by the early 2020s. Big companies and start-ups are involved in the rapid race for flying cars to provide the best solutions.

The UNIGINE team presented a report about the real-time 3D visualization capabilities for creating innovative urban environments at the international Smart City 2019 symposium. The forum was held in the South Korean city of Daegu, attended by 1,300 participants from around the world, including experts from the United States, France, and Spain. The participants of the symposium were urban researchers, representatives of business and government, and the public.

The event was organized by the Daegu administration. This city is one of a few in South Korea that are actively adopting smart technologies. The intellectual system of traffic management and parking is already implemented there, and water meter readings in houses are taken remotely.

It’s great that people choose our engine not only for serious business purposes, but also for making amazing content to implement creative ideas. We are glad to introduce to you the Racer’s Shelter project made by two talented 3D artists Alexander Kolyasa and Mark Kassikhin in their spare time.

Meet Kajaani University of Applied Sciences (KAMK), Finland. KAMK is an international learning and development community. The university consists of five schools of different profiles. One of the subdivisions is Virtual Industry Solutions (VIS) team working under the school of engineering. For their project targeted to the mining industry, they recently chose UNIGINE engine.

We reveal a completely new way to access UNIGINE technologies. From now on UNIGINE 2 Entertainment SDK is available via subscription for only $83 per month (with the commitment for a year).

As a number of design studios, indie game developers, promising startups and simply gifted coders interested in UNIGINE grows up every day, we want to make our technology more affordable and suitable for their needs.

Unlike UNIGINE 2 Sim and Engineering SDKs, which are targeted towards heavy lifting in the enterprise area, UNIGINE 2 Entertainment SDK is aimed to game development, architecture visualization, and various VR experiences.

Recently we have crossed a new threshold — now more than 200 companies use UNIGINE technologies worldwide. So it’s time to introduce them to you. Of course, the part which is not under NDA.

Let’s start with our French partner, the Ediser company, that is specialized in the design of innovative teaching materials and tools and multimedia software applications intended for the driver training. They supplied about 1 800 simulators for the last 13 years and became a key player in the European automotive driving simulation market.

With the new partnership, VRgineers’ XTAL headset and high-resolution VR are now available for all UNIGINE users.

The world’s most demanding users of 3D visualization, simulation, and VR — including military, naval, space and aeronautics clients — trust UNIGINE to deliver photorealistic graphics and a suite of ultra-efficient tools. This powerful technology is now fully integrated with VRgineers’ XTAL smart high-resolution enterprise-grade VR headset.

DLR chose UNIGINE 2 Sim because of its outstanding performance, support of large scenarios and photorealistic graphics. For correct simulation of space missions, it is critical to have 3D engine with 64-bit precision of coordinates, which is capable of rendering both close and very distant objects at the Solar system scale, together with planet-scale landscapes.

UNIGINE SDK 2.7.2 has been released!

• Direct import of CAD models (IGES, STEP, STL, BREP formats)
• Improved voxel and environment probes
• Physically-based cameras and lights (ISO sensitivity, shutter speed, F-stop, color temperature, etc.)
• Improved file system and collaboration
• Optimized texture streaming
• Improved particle systems: advanced control, easy adjustment
• Multi-channel rendering improvements
