Unity 2.6.1 contains a new webplayer plugin that is compatible with Mac OSX 10.6 Safari when running in 64-bit mode. Additionally a number of improvements and bug fixes were implemented to smooth out some of the issues experienced by Unity (free) license holders. Additionally, Unity 2.6.1 projects are now compatible with Unity iPhone 1.5.1 projects.

Webkit adds support for WebGL

via youtube.com

Web kit developers have started to add GPU-accelerated 3D via WebGL into the open source browser engine. WebGL is a JavaScript binding to Open ES 2.0

This will eliminate the need for plug-ins to implement 3D graphics. To enable WebGL manually change settings ( ENABLE_3D_CANVAS = ENABLE_3D_CANVAS in WebCore/Configurations/FeatureDefines.xcconfig)

Manual test data@ http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/trunk/WebCore/manual-tests/webgl/

pretty cool, if you ask me.

New Unity 2.5 is out!

via unity3d.com

Unity3D game development tool (the best in my book over anything else) is shipping version 2.5 The biggest new feature is now it works from windows as well. So that will add a whole lot more developers who did not buy a mac just to use unity. (and there are many that did, so you can see how good it most be , if people switch to a mac just to use unity) The 2.5 also has an all new interface to help make it even easier than before. It was already so easy to use. 3ds max importing is now supported. no more converting first.

They added a license change This is a big one. The indy licensing can now deploy to all platforms (aka windows, which before was a pro only feature) There a long list of improvements, and bug fixes.

This is hands down the best game tool on the market. I've tried all the others in the under $3000.00 licensing fee and Torque, blitz, C4 even the free open source jobbers come no where near the quality as this one does. It got a prefect workflow, and with the iPhone plug in (torque iPhone plug-in is a rip off), there really no other tool that come close in this price range, In over all quality of what can be done, and how simple it is to code a game. It is worth buying into if you make money building games.

Check it ll out here. @ http://unity3d.com/unity/whats-new/unity-2.5
