[UNIGINE] City project WIP

[binstream]

We have restored this project 3 years after, it's close to be released as an example of high-quality architectural visualization

Hi Unigine, 

 

How is this going? Eager to see more marvellous things...

[binstream]

Nat, we are preparing the project for public release. Yesterday we have captured a video to be demonstrated at GDC.

Hi Denis,

 

Any visuals? Did I miss it?

[binstream]

The public release has slipped to the summer due to other ongoing projects.

[maimonides]

Looks amazing!

Some more screenshots as teaser available ? Same for new ITEC showcase ? Users are always keen on getting some visual news :)

[binstream]

No, nothing new is available since we are working on a completely new outdoor demo for ITEC.

Very cool, especially the waterfall

[anthony.liot]

Completely agree with @ulf, I like the waterfall. 

With Oculus it's really nice too

[ulf.schroeter]

Just as a proposal even though the City scenery alread looks very impressive: the demo would look much more real if there were all kinds of additional moving objects like road traffic, fying bird swarms, falling leaves from trees, more particle effects, wind effects and people or animals with animations.

 

Even the already implemented most simple rotor motion of the wind turbines breath life into the demo

I have just one remark. Since introduction of streaming there are quite common lags (engine is loading data), especially when you do fast 360 degrees rotation of camera. Once cached, no problem at all, but from the beginning (until cached) it is quite annoying. You can clearly see it in this city demo, especially on non-sdd drives. I assume, it is possible to set some preloading? Maybe this demo could be nice example how to set it properly.

[christian.shiel]

Wow! Amazing. What is the total object count for this?

[demostenes]

Is this demo going to be converted to 2.0+?

Hi Jirka,

I'm afraid not, it's not in the development anymore.
