I've been using Unity for about a year now. I bought a Mac specifically to run it and couldn't be happier. It is everything that is advertised and more, although the Pro version is required for shadows and Windows export.

It has improved a lot from the past

i have readen the car tutorial some time ago , very easy to undertsand and easy language.
The editor is top notch , totally artist oriented.
all shaders , lights etc.. integrated .. good next gen thing.

Don't know if LOD is to you to manage or it it is incorporated ,
like texture LOD (two powerfull features for big performance) ??

Im' just waiting a version indie for windows and could buy it , too expensive
the pro version for people like me that won't seel or produce incredibles games

I just think 3DGS is lot of users asking some basic things /shaders etc ... ;
compared to Unity where all users got all shaders ready and others full / easy terrain editor etc ... : )

Just my advice : )

hell, i just checked the web interface at home. how can this be? plugin loads and installs with no time and than i see tose shadows in the shadow room, physics, ...? wtf.. thats stunning

and tha reflections at the tropical paradis.. i know for what i'll keep my money now...

holy [censored] O_o
the island demo is incredible.. and everything runs trough the browser.
you haven't to restart the browser too O_o

Tried also the live island demo :

- smooth , fast
- lot of palm trees moving with wind , grass in the wind , all smooth
- fast loading , like Call Of Duty 4 PC demo !!

As good as Far Cry (jut need texture projection for trees shadows and some other things)

But i just can say : Next Gen, Powerfull (grass ,objects,water shader ... all
very smooth in a web Window), can only be better on fullscreen

Juts Great engine , Blender animations/textures support ,
what people want more

Just hope a future affordable Windows version ??

Tried their Ever Fate demo for PC !

in the past i was disappointed by their FPS demo , but this one just stucked me
Shaders in all the level , ennemies, very good frame rate , some great particles effects and shaders (like the shield), great 3D art for levels and normal/specular maps.
It looks , sounds and I's Next Gen demo indeed
For an indie demo it's impressive and a big easy boss battle at the end.

Anybody having the engine and this basic code could imrpove it and make some
futurist call of duty : )

Just one thing to say : download and try Ever Fate PC demo
That's what i like impressive demo showing what the engine can handle

How many years for 3DGS bring such powerfull demo hhhéhééhéé !!


just read that to see what it can do
features

i don't wanted to buy an engine ,seeked for a good one :
BV engine was not enought fast,, had lot of issues etc .. not
enought easy language ...

And i'v tried that Ever Fate Pc demo, i can say i'm going to buy the indie version indeed
Afetr playing their demo i can say its THE Next GEn complete engine with
all modern interfaces, editors for indie market !

Just try their Ever Fate demo
(i have AMD dual core + 7600 GT Nvidia : All fast and smooth) and their demo don't have LOD for level, ennemies with some big detailled things ,
so i think it could run lot more faster with optimisations)

I think the BEST INDIE ENGINE with easy language (C#,Javascript, Boo)
and the better indie tools i've seen (terrain editor with folliage/trees
painting) , all shaders ready to drag and drop on the scene

What do you need more ??

Could someone post the license models / prices of Unity? I still can´t enter the shop of this page...
Would be very nice, thanks in advance.

Yeah the license, possibilities of indie version are not explained

a last word : it's easy to see why Unity is so powerfull / advanced , next gen and in indie market possible :

unity team

That's seems to not be only 1 or 3 guys working on it , but lot more

I tested this shooter demo now. Well i dont like it, its boring and doesnt look really "next gen" like people said xD You can archive this with 3dgs without any problems.

But the Island demo is awesome... i was so shocked that this runs in a webbrowser and it looks really cool (except the underwater effect, just blured view).

was ist ein intel-mac? kann ich osx auch auf "designed for windows"-pcs installieren?
