Unity
Technologies (https://unity3d.com/), creator of the world’s
most popular creation engine that reaches nearly 3 billion devices worldwide,
announced that Unity 2017.2 is now available to download from the Unity Store. Unity
2017.2 is the most powerful content creation toolset to-date, delivering an
end-to-end solution for 2D games and XR creation, as well as optimized support
for ARCore, ARKit, Windows Mixed Reality and Vuforia.
“Unity 2017 was the start of a
new cycle that evolves the world’s most popular game engine into an
ever-expanding creation engine for gaming and a wide range of real-time
entertainment,” said Adam Myhill, Head of Cinematics, Unity. “Unity 2017.2
continues this evolution, by providing enhanced visual tools that truly empower
and inspire artists and designers to do what they do best: create amazing
content. We believe the power and flexibility within 2017.2 allows for improved
experimentation, rapid iteration and a deeper collaboration between disciplines,
which is the backbone for truly stunning creations.”
Unity 2017.2 key features
include:
● 2D Tilemap
and Cinemachine for 2D: Designed to empower 2D creators, 2017.2 offers a complete
suite of 2D tools, including the new 2D Tilemap tool for fast creation and
iteration cycles. In addition, the new Cinemachine for 2D offers intelligent,
easy to create camera behaviours with automatic composition, tracking,
priorities and blending
● Support
and Further MR Optimization for the Latest Platforms: Unity
currently powers 2/3rds of all AR/VR content, and now with further optimization
for ARCore, ARKit, Windows Mixed Reality, and Vuforia, Unity developers will be
able to reach over 1 billion AR-capable devices by the end of 2018. Unity makes
it easy for developers to create MR experiences for supported devices, as well
as add AR to existing apps to help drive user engagement and revenue growth
● Collaboration
with Autodesk to Improve Creation Workflow: Unity
2017.2 is the first creation engine that has source code access to Autodesk’s
FBX SDK and that provides improved creation workflow for better iteration and
decision-making. Unity and Autodesk are working together to directly and dramatically
improve FBX support, and enable high-fidelity round-tripping between Maya/Max
and Unity
Unity exists to democratize
development, solve hard problems and enable success -- three core values that
are the driving forces of Unity’s adoption by millions of creators. Unity
powers more than 50% of all new mobile games and over 2/3rds of all AR and VR
content. Interactive content made with Unity reaches nearly 3 billion devices
worldwide.
Unity 2017.2 subscription plans
are available with enhanced features and services to support customers’
needs. Unity Pro represents the top of the line in
professional-grade tools while Unity Plus offers serious
creators who intend to publish additional tools and services to help them
succeed. Custom-tailored enterprise solutions are also available for teams of
21 or more. For hobbyists and aspiring creators, Unity Personal provides
all the core features they need to get started for free.
