­the popular game development engine Unity has recently received a major update with a series of cool and amazing new features. The new version of Unity 2018.1, released on May 2, 2018, is designed to make life easier for game developers and help them quickly produce stronger and more interesting games. Brett Bibby, producer of the Unity engine, said: "version 2018.1 is one of the largest updates we have ever made, focusing on two core concepts-lower-level rendering and default performance."

­many new features and improvements have been added to Unity 2018.1, such as GPU Istancing support for GI, editor Presets for import settings and components, new particle system improvements, and so on. Among the many functional updates, the new real-time rendering architecture option Scriptable Render Pipeline (hereinafter referred to as SRP) has attracted a lot of attention. SRP will directly improve the quality of game rendering to a level comparable to that of film and television.

­in addition to SRP, Unity 2018.1 will also provide a high-definition rendering pipeline (HD RP) so that developers can create a triple-A look-and-feel experience, plus a low-definition (Lightweight) rendering pipeline (LW RP) for those that do not require ultra-high definition pictures, providing an ideal combination of appearance and speed for pictures on mobile devices.

­of course, Unity has updated a number of immersive content improvements for VR and AR developers. Unity technology now integrates Google's Spatial Audio SDK, Resonance Audio, to help render hundreds of simultaneous 3D sound sources.

­in terms of mixed reality (MR), the MagicLeap Technology Preview version (SDK) and Lumin SDK under Unity applications are now available through the MagicLeap Creator Portal (MagicLeap Creator Portal). In addition, ARCore1.1, which runs in Unity, provides the ability to create high-quality AR applications for millions of Android-enabled devices in Google Games. The Unity blog update states: "the understanding of the scenarios around developers is improved by pointing feature points, and a new feature allows developers to place virtual content on surfaces close to detected feature points, such as easy cans, boxes, and books."
