Unity 2018:

Graphics rendering, next-gen runtime, and more artist tooling

Unity 2018 enhances Unity’s core technology and gives creators the power to express their talents and collaborate more efficiently.

An all-in-one Editor that extends to match your production workflow

The Unity Editor features multiple tools that enable rapid editing and iteration in your development cycles, including Play mode for quick previews of your work in real-time.

• All-in-one editor: Available on Windows and Mac, it includes a range of artist-friendly tools for designing immersive experiences and game worlds, as well as a strong suite of developer tools for implementing game logic and high-performance gameplay.
• 2D & 3D: Unity supports both 2D and 3D development with features and functionality for your specific needs across genres.
• AI pathfinding tools: Unity includes a navigation system that allows you to create NPCs that can intelligently move around the game world. The system uses navigation meshes that are created automatically from your Scene geometry, or even dynamic obstacles, to alter the navigation of the characters at runtime.
• User interfaces: Our built-in UI system allows you to create user interfaces fast and intuitively.
• Physics engines: Take advantage of Box2D and NVIDIA PhysX support for highly realistic and high-performance gameplay.
• Custom tools: You can extend the Editor with whatever tools you need to match your team’s workflow. Create and add customized extensions or find what you need on our Asset Store, which features thousands of resources, tools and extensions to speed up your projects.

A workspace for creative people

The Unity Editor is a creative hub for artists, designers, developers, and other team members. It includes 2D and 3D scene design tools, storytelling and cinematics, lighting, audio system, Sprite management tools, particle effects and a powerful dopesheet animation system.

• Storytelling: The Timeline tool gives artists the power to create stunning cinematic content & gameplay sequences.
• Cinematic content: With Cinemachine’s suite of smart and dynamic cameras, you can control shots just like a movie director from within the Editor.
• Color grading and effects: Create the look you want with professional and fully featured Post Processing FX.
• Animation: Use Timeline, Anima2D, Particles, and tight integration with Maya and other 3rd party tools to animate directly within Unity.
• Level design and worldbuilding: With ProBuilder, rapidly design, prototype and play-test your levels, then blend textures and colors, sculpt meshes and scatter objects with Polybrush (beta).
• Round-tripping: Detail and polish your 3D models on-the-fly with Unity’s seamless integration of digital content-creation (DCC) tools like Maya.
• Lighting: Get instant feedback with the Progressive Lightmapper, polish and hone your scene with Post Processing, and optimise your scene with Mixed Lighting Modes for the best result per target platform.

Unlock your CAD data for real-time development

Through our partnership with PiXYZ software, the best-in-class solution for optimizing 3D data, we offer all you need to quickly import, manage and optimize your large CAD assemblies into Unity for real-time visualization projects.

PiXYZ takes the guesswork and heavy lifting out of the CAD data-prep equation, ensuring all your CAD files are optimized for Unity, regardless of the source. Going from CAD import to real-time publishing has never been so easy!

Top performance

Optimize your interactive creations with a top performing engine that keeps on improving.

• Advanced profiling tools offer insights, such as determining if your game is CPU or GPU-bound, and how to optimize rendering and gameplay performance for a smooth user experience
• Native C++ performance across platforms with Unity-developed back-end IL2CPP scripting, which is continuously improved
• Scripting runtime Mono/.NET 4,6/C#6 (experimental in 2017.1)

Create an evocative atmosphere that enthralls players

Bring your game alive in the day with sun shafts or take your players down midnight streets glowing with neon signs or into shadowy tunnels.

• Real-time rendering engine: Produce amazing visual fidelity with Real-Time Global Illumination and Physically Based Rendering.
• Native Graphics APIs: Unity supports multiplatforms, but still stays close to the low level graphics API of each platform, allowing you to take advantage of the latest GPU and hardware improvements, like Vulkan, iOS Metal, DirectX12, nVidia VRWorks or AMD LiquidVR.

Real-time insights with live-ops analytics

Unity Analytics gives you fast, easy access to important information that helps you improve your in-game economy and the player experience.

• Complete set of live-operation features (game & player analytics, heatmaps, performance monitoring) to monitor player activity.
• No SDK! Unity Analytics is built-in Unity, so No SDK!

The simplest way to increase revenue

Unity offers built-in solutions to maximize your success.

• Revenue-generation solutions: Ads & IAP
• A complete set of live-operation analytics features for monitoring player activity.
• Continuous improvements: Optimize the performance of your live games in real-time, without redeployment, and increase user Lifetime Value (LTV) with the power of analytics data.

Multiplayer provides the easiest way to create real-time, networked games for Unity.

• Quick set up: Fast to implement and highly customizable
• Unity-provided servers: Makes sure your players can find and play with each other

Discover app errors

Unity Performance Reporting addresses issues in real-time.

• Find and address the high priority issues that your customers are experiencing
• Collect and react to application errors, in real-time, across devices and platforms.

Build once, deploy anywhere to reach the largest possible audience

• 25+ platforms across mobile, desktop, console, TV, VR, AR and the Web.
• More platform support than any other creation engine: With Unity, you can reach the widest audience and feel confident that your IP is future-proof, no matter how the industry evolves or where your imagination takes you.

Powering over two-thirds of VR and AR experiences

Unity is the preferred development tool for the majority of XR creators. Used by everyone from AAA game studios like Ubisoft, top creative agencies like Weiden+Kennedy, space pioneers at NASA, top Hollywood directors like Neill Blomkamp and Eric Darnell, and even our friends at Google for their Tiltbrush and Blocks experiences, Unity is your best and most valuable solution for jumping into the latest and greatest immersive technologies.

New way of doing portables: separate .svm packages
-useful for plugins & so: reduces main exe size that contains only the program, then you can download the plugin package only if you want it!
-ability for me to release a small program update through these separate files, without having to make the whole thing form scratch for each update.
→ More updated portables and less unnecessary size!

This portable release includes:
- main package (~2 GB): 1 exe file with unity default installation stuff
- support packs to add soon please be patient

► you can also any file like plugins etc into "\Sandbox\Unity 2018\roaming\modified\@PROGRAMFILES@\Unity\Editor\" folder and similar, just like the installed version, and at next startup the portable will recognize your new files.
