Introducing a dedicated website for UNIGINE 2 Sim, a software platform for 3D visualization in professional simulation (flight, space, maritime, ground, railroad and much more): sim.unigine.com. There are detailed feature descriptions, use cases and key customers listed on the website.

This year UNIGINE took part in the SIGGRAPH, one of the world’s major and the most influential events in 3D graphics, in Los Angeles. The usual part of conference is Real-Time Live!, the international technology contest that showcases the latest trends and techniques for pushing the boundaries of interactive visuals. This year the new SSRTGI technique developed by UNIGINE was selected by expert jury to be presented at Real-Time Live!.

• New Screen-Space Ray-Traced Global Illumination (SSRTGI).
• Screen-space shadows.
• 3D spline system.
• Vector roads API.
• Landcover data support.
• Terrain modification API.
• C++ programming quick start tutorial.
• New Superposition demo with VR features.

Superposition benchmark continues the line of GPU benchmarks by UNIGINE used by tens of millions people around the world.
