5 years since the first commercial release of Unigine

The first commercial version of Unigine engine was released five years ago, on May 4, 2005. With the release number 0.3, it had codebase size of approximately 10% relative to the current one. At that time, there used to be 5 people on board.

Unigine booth at GDC SF 2010

We gladly invite you to come visit our booth #1344 at Game Developers Conference, San Francisco, 2010. There you will be presented the recent version of Unigine Engine and the Heaven Benchmark 2.0 along with a lot of featured Unigine-based content. Feel free to contact us for an appointment.

ObjectWaterMesh, MinGW and a bunch of bugfixes

Recent changes:

New ObjectWaterMesh object for small water pools.
Improvement of build scripts (new variable "g_compiler" in addition to "g_os"), added support of MinGW (engine can be built with it, but the build will not be properly functional; tools are working ok).
All console variable are now declared in source/engine/EngineConsole.h.
"manager_create_*" console variables are renamed to "manager_preload_*".
Fixed mouse scroll handling in Linux.
Bones visualization mode in ResourceEditor / Viewer.
Fixed collisions of RagDoll with BodyDummy.
Fixed "unknown body" bug in physics solver.
Non-intersectable objects now can be selected by double-click in UnigineEditor.
2 samples of LODs usage.
Object's materials are now handled by the material class.
A bunch of flags in objects for surfaces (collision, intersection, shadows and so on).

By the way, building Unigine with MinGW on win32 have helped refactoring win32-specific code because GCC is a little bit more verbose than MS VS.
