Unity Technologies has published a teaser interactive video Book of the Dead, demonstrating the technical capabilities of the new version of the engine — Unity 2018.
As reported on the project page, in Unity 2018, video rendering is significantly optimized for modern equipment and uses the capabilities of multi-core processors more efficiently. The new Scriptable Render Pipeline rendering system is responsible for this.
According to Unity, most of the assets used in the production of video were taken from the Quixel Megascans library.
The authors of the ADAM demo video are working on the Book of the Dead, based on which Hollywood director Neill Blomkamp shot the second and third episodes last year.
The beta version of Unity 2018.1 became publicly available on January 10. According to the project’s blog, the beta test will last until about March. During this time, it is planned to release several updates.
