• 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.
