Article blog : Unity to Support New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL

[cayou66]

J'avais vu ça aussi ! Yeah !

[minirop]

j'espère que dans quelques mois, Nintendo annoncera un programme pour tous comme ils ont fait avec la Wii U.

Un patch pour la version 5.0.1 est disponible (5.0.1p1) : http://unity3d.com/unity/qa/patch-releases

Features

XboxOne: The default update granularity used by XDK's makepkg tool has changed to File granularity rather than Chunk granularity. There is now a setting to control this:
Player Settings > Xbox One > Microsoft Xbox One Package Settings > Update Granularity. This property is set to File by default. Chunk is recommended only for games that have already been released using the Chunk granularity, which was the default prior to this build.

Improvements

Mecanim: Fix direct blendtree editor slow down when there is too much motion.
GI: Made pig assert message human readable.
Substance: New Substance features introduced by Substance Designer 5.0 are now supported.
XboxOne: Lightmap files are now listed in the package manifest in the same chunk as the scene that uses them.
XboxOne: Updated docs to reflect terminology and tools in latest XDK, and added a section on Packaging.
Terrain: TerrainData.alphamapTextures is now public.
Physics: Report detailed error when generating collision meshes, also during asset import. Simplifies troubleshooting creation of non-triangle collision meshes.

Changes

XboxOne: Unity is now built with the March 2015 XDK. You will need to install the March 2015 XDK onto your development PC and use the same or later recovery
Android: Added support for real 16bit DisplayBuffer. It can only be enabled in PlayerSettings, Handheld.use32BitDisplayBuffer is deprecated.
Scripting: GizmoType enum has changed (and is updated by automatic script updater). NotSelected -> NotInSelectionHierarchy. SelectedOrChild -> InSelectionHierarchy. New member NonSelected added.

Un petit oubli, que je vais corriger, pour dire que la beta 3 d''Unity 5.1.0 était disponible sur l'espace beta : http://unity3d.com/unity/beta
(disponible uniquement pour ceux disposant d'une licence pro. L’installation se fait de nouveau à partir d'un fichier unique téléchargé d'environ 1.2 Go)

Au delà des améliorations et corrections, voici les principales évolutions:

-Editor: New HDR Color Picker
Improves the Standard shader workflow for changing the emission color property.
The emission color can now be animated from the animation window.
Using scripting API to change emission will now be reflected in the shader gui.
Color Presets now also support HDR colors. Saving a HDR color will overlay a lowercase 'h' on the preset swatch.
Color property fields can now be customized with the ColorUsageAttribute (show/hide alpha value, is HDR)
-Editor: Home Window Login integration. You can now login or work offline using the home window or command-line arguments.
-Editor: Home Window License integration. You can now validate your serial and activate your copy of Unity using the new 5.1 json licensing API through the home window.
-Graphics: Crunch texture compression format on platforms which support DXT. This is a lossy compression that is both small on disk/download and compressed (DXT1/DXT5) for the GPU.
-Graphics: Experimental support for OpenGL 4.5 and ES 3.1 on Windows. Use -force-glcore, -force-gles(20|30|31|31aep) arguments to enable. This enables testing OpenGL ES 3.1 features on desktop. Note: no GL4 support on Mac yet.
-Graphics: OpenGL ES 3.1 support on Android
New graphics levels (OpenGL ES 3.1, OpenGL ES 3.1 + AEP)
Compute shaders
Geometry shaders
Tessellation shaders
Advanced blend modes
-Networking: New multiplayer networking feature introduced, see the manual and UnityEngine.Networking namespace in the script reference for details. This includes low level API (transport layer) and a higher level API with many features to help implement multiplayer functionality in games. Cloud based relay service can be used to get past NAT restrictions, and a simple matchmaking service can be used for game/host discovery. To configure the services go to https://unet.cloud.unity3d.com. This replaces the current RakNet based multiplayer feature.
-Runtime: Added assertion library under UnityEngine.Assertions namespace
-Shaders: OpenGL ES 3.0+ will use a new shader compiler backend. Based on HLSL + github.com/James-Jones/HLSLCrossCompiler + glsl-optimizer. This enables compute shaders on ES3.1 and other modern features. Existing Cg/HLSL compute, geometry and tessellation shaders can be used via automatic translation as well as with direct GLSL snippets. Note: Memory layout rule differences between DX and GL must be taken into account on the buffer data uploads.
-Unity Analytics: New, built-in Analytics functionality introduced (currently in “Preview”), including higher-level, flexible APIs to track almost every kind of action in your game. We eliminated the need to download and import additional plug-ins to start using Analytics. To get started, simply visit http://analytics.unity3d.com to generate the unique ProjectId that you’ll use to associate your project with your Analytics dashboard, as well as access the relevant documentation and integration instructions. Note: 4.x-5.0 Editor users can still use Analytics by integrating the downloadable SDK package. For 5.1 users, adding the plug-in should not result in errors, nor will it result in duplicate data, but we still advise that you remove the old plug-in assets.
-SDK integration in Preview mode, get started by visiting our dashboard at blah to get your unique Project ID and integration step-by-step guide. No more need to download and import any SDK packages.
-VR: Added integrated support for Oculus Rift in Editor and Standalone Players. Once Virtual Reality is enabled in Player Settings, pressing play in the editor will show your game view on the rift. It is recommended to "Maximize on Play" the game view in order to achieve smooth rendering. Be sure to remove any previous Oculus plugins from your project.
