What's Inside?
UNIGINE engine is a fully-featured 3D platform designed for creation of interactive virtual worlds with a photo-realistic quality. This powerful and extremely flexible solution is used for real-time simulation (transportation, military training, etc.), visualization (architecture, media installations, etc.) and game development.
However, UNIGINE is not some sort of application building constructor: it is a very robust, feature-rich, and optimized software library with a set of tools. So you will need some people in the team with programming skills (preferably C++) to utilize the UNIGINE power for your projects. Please also note that some features are optional, depending on the SDK edition (Entertainment / Engineering / Sim).
UNIGINE provides support for Windows and Linux.
For more details, see hardware requirements.
Renderer#
The UNIGINE image generator provides a near-photorealistic rendering of visual scenes based on sophisticated shading and lighting models, accurate atmosphere model, advanced special effects and lifelike post-processing.
|
- Atmospheric light scattering for realistic simulation of the atmosphere
- Excellent rendering of vast, detailed masses of vegetation
- Configurable forward and deferred rendering
- Support for GLSL, HLSL and UUSL languages for shaders
- Support for both DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.x
Image Output Schemas#
UNIGINE handles various image output schemas:
|
Scene Manager#
Built-in advanced scene manager is designed for handling virtual worlds of unprecedented scale filled with thousands of objects.
|
- Support for geo-coordinates
- Extremely fast intersection / line of sight tests
- Increased visibility distance
Built-in Objects#
UNIGINE provides a set of built-in objects allowing you to create a complex, dynamic virtual world:
|
- World objects are invisible nodes used for world management
- Sound objects represent sound sources and reverberations
- Pathfinding objects represent objects used for pathfinding
Physics Engine#
There is a built-in physics engine available. Please take into the account that it is designed primarily for "game-level" physics simulation: for accurate simulation of physical processes (e.g.: flight dynamics model) it is recommended to use the specialized solutions.
