UNIGINE Corp. has released a major update of its interactive 3D platform, UNIGINE 2.0. The release incorporates more than 1.5 years of technology improvements:

• Improved visual qualty
• Optimized performance
• Improved tools usability
• Added many new features

UNIGINE 2 is already available for licensing in three editions.

UNIGINE 2 has been demonstrated during SIGGRAPH 2015 expo days in Los Angeles (August 11-13). The main demo at the booth was Space project showcasing support for extremely large scenes and new graphical features (including PBR, SSRR, TAA and a lot more). There were 14,800 attendees total from around the world at SIGGRAPH this year. A lot of visitors were surprised with the quality and performance of UNIGINE projects, especially with Oculus version of the Space / ISS demo.

Leonardo DiCaprio was so impressed with "Solar Reserve", a UNIGINE-powered art installation by John Gerrard, that he bought it and granted it to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The gift is "intended to raise public awareness of environmental issues".

"Solar Reserve (Tonopah, Nevada)" is a real-time 3D digital simulation of a solar thermal power tower that offers dynamic, changing views of the Nevada site.

During the SIGGRAPH Asia 2014 UNIGINE company has presented three UNIGINE-powered demos together with partners (Wincomn Technologies):

• Port Angeles (50x50 km flight sim).
• CAD data visualization (3D model of an aircraft with all the details).
• Virtual character following movements of an actor in real-time.

The booth had been attracting a lot of attention during all three expo days. Visitors from China and other countries were amazed with the high technical level of UNIGINE Sim platform.

From now on it is possible to use C# for development of UNIGINE-powered applications, thereby involving the full power of IDEs. C# API provides functionality similar to C++ API!

Other changes:

• Extended C++ API.
• Added anonymous functions to UnigineScript.
• Completely refactored undo/redo system for all UnigineEditor windows and plugins.
• Improved terrain rendering speed.
• Increased number of per-terrain materials to 48.
• A lot of bugfixes and minor improvements here and there.
• Restored Android support.

UNIGINE 2 is getting much more stable, we are moving fast to the release!
