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.

Introducing hierarchy of node properties

What's new:

  • Hierarchy of node properties (read more below).
  • Underlaying material for reflections.
  • Console commands now can be created by means of UnigineScript.
  • Variables content can be accessed via [] operator, there are new __set__ and __get__ class memebers to be overloaded for [] access.
  • Adjustable precision of mesh data for 3dsMax export plugin (snap to grid).
  • Friction and restitution parameters are moved into base properties library.
  • Filesystem speedup.
  • A file inside 'data' directory can be access very fast now, if its name doesn't contain 'data/' prefix.
  • Fixed LWO format loader.
  • New format of world files: material name should be in 'material' attribute of 'surface' tag (old format will be supported for some time still; re-save world to update its format).
  • Removed 'deprecate.mat' material library, there is no more mesh_detail_base (use mesh_base instead of it).
  • Great speedup of scripts compling (it is almost 4 times faster now).
  • Fixed reflection masks.
  • Cube filtering of ambient maps.
  • Stereo launchers dynamically load DirectX libraries now.
  • Removed FreeBSD building rules due to very low demand on FreeBSD support.
  • Automatic generation of focus cycling order for UI.
  • reflection_adjust parameter for cube reflection for fine tuning.
  • Almost all memory leaks are eliminated, there are only 3 unfreed pointers left.
  • Added time.h (for correct sun position according to a given time) to the core scripts set.
  • Added sun movement into 'water' demo.
  • WorldTrigger can work with predefined set of nodes (if the list is empty, all nodes are taken into account).
  • Correct work of tabbing in WidgetEditText.
  • Simple syntax highlight in built-in text editor.
  • New ALIGN_BACKGROUND flag for separating widgets by rendering order (work only for WidgetVBox).
  • WidgetManipulator takes care about step of snap.
  • New icons in UnigineEditor.
  • Fixed annoying 'invalid operation' error in OpenGL.
  • Snap to grid for moving and rotating objects (set grid step in 'Tools' window).

Node properties is a general purpose mechanism for adding some custom properties to objects (like game-specific parameters and so on), they can be set per-surface. Properties set can be flexibly adjusted for a project, see data/core/properties/unigine.prop as an example, the system is very similar to our visual materials. Use 'o' hotkey to access properties window in UnigineEditor.

Some notes regarding changes in development environment:

  • Unigine_Externs pack is updated, all 3rd-party code is moved there
  • All .lib files provided with Unigine_Externs are for Visual Studio 2008, older ones can be found in 'vs2005' subfolders
  • Recommended SCons version is 0.97
