web palyer and the editor. This 2 could make me choose unity over 3dgs.

<though im still happy with gamestudio.>

Easy of use - Unity is VERY EASY to use and just works (shaders just work drag and drop, its works in the web, on mac, PC, iPhone and Wii ).


I do love 3DGS its great, that's why I keep pushing them to add stuff, I think if they add the following:

1) Web player (coming)
2) Editor (coming)
3) Maybe add kick ass rendering stuff - better then other engines or same as AAA engines - see (http://www.leadwerks.com/engine_rendering.html)

The down side of Leadwerks is it a bit header to code for.

OMG, leadwerks sanbox looks nice. sorry for o.t.

I know; hope 3DGS will be the same - shit hot

Maybe i might look into this engine myself good pricing toooooo!!!!

my all around packages are almost complete.

The new GED looks really nice too.

Can you please tell us (if you have tried) what shaders are actually available in Indie version of Unity? I have been going through some forums to even their docs on the site but still haven't found a list or any info on which shaders are Pro only.

What I do know is that you can't get simple stuff like reflective water out of the Indie version without using some 'tricks' (or hacks).

Hi

I'm not 100% sure

But water for Indie yes with hacks

The post shaders are pro, just email them - they will reply

Render-to-texture is only in the pro. So you cannot have post processing that relies on renter2texture. But shaders like normal, spec or parallax mapping are working fine in the indie.

Water works also in the indie but it looks better in Pro.

Good thing i recently bought a macBook pro!

I downloaded the demo yesterday, toying around a bit with it, though im no good at all at it yet :P
we'll see what i can come up with, hehehee.
Who knows, maybe i'll buy that indie license eventually... making widget games for mac is fun (and maybe even iPhone later on that would be wicked..!).

thanks,
