Official pre-ordering of Unigine v0.4 has been started, v0.33 orders are no longer accepted. Scheduled release date for v0.4 is set to January 2007. There are also available new screenshots, feature list and licensing info.

CGSEVEN company will announce to the publishers a new Action/Adventure/RPG based on Unigine v0.4 at Games Convention 2006 (Leipzig, Germany), which will take place during August, 23rd to 27th.

Unigine Corp., creators of a high-quality graphics engine - Unigine, and Intoxicate Interactive have signed a license agreement for the engine. The agreement is so favorable for Intoxicate Interactive that the young developers do not have to pay any fees up front and can focus on making their game. Unigine developers emphasize the need for cooperation with both young and innovative development groups as well as providing middleware solutions to large established companies. The decision of Unigine Corp. was influenced by the professional quality of work at Intoxicate Interactive that has just completed the pre-production of its first game - Afterfall. The Unigine engine shall be used to develop both a demo version of Afterfall and the final product.

Unigine v0.4 has had OpenGL/Direct3D render with a lot of new features like parallax mapping, ambient occlusion mapping, ellipsoid lights, translucence, advanced soft shadows and much much more.
There were also implemented various unscheduled (but very impressive) features in v0.4 so it takes more time (1,5-2 months) to complete it properly.
We are very greateful to all Unigine community for the patience, v0.4 will not disappoint you (v0.4-powered demo will be available for download soon).

Unigine demos have been used as practical demonstration of modern 3D graphics technologies in Computer Graphics course at James Cook University, Australia at 2005.

Unigine Corp. has been approved as ATI registered developer.
This will help us to make Unigine more compliant with hardware from ATI Technologies Inc.

Our list of partners is growing: Unigine Corp. has been approved as Creative Labs registered developer in addition to being NVIDIA registered developer.
