Can Unity Free Do This (Mirror Reflection, See Video)

Unity Engine
1

I’m about to scrap my Game Maker project for the new Unity 2D engine as I’m not very far along Unity seems so much better. From what I can tell, I should be able to import most of my assets and rebuild what I have (as soon as I learn all the code changes) but I don’t know about this one scene. It’s a simple 2D mirror reflection using surfaces in GM. From what I have read, Unity free doesnt support rendering to texture which sounds like it may be what I need, but of course I don’t actually know how to do this in Unity until I try. So will I be able?

Not in free unless you use a separate blurred sprite for the reflection.

Well crap. Out of all the things they would leave out of free. :frowning: For competitiveness I think I would have made sure Unity Free could do everything GM could do. Or there should be SOMETHING between free and $1,500.

There’s a hell of a lot between free and $1,500. Just not always what you want, otherwise everything would be free wouldn’t it?

Not sure if I understand, but all I see is Unity Free or Unity Pro for $1,500 and nothing in between.

I think hippo misunderstood you and is saying there are a lot of features in Unity pro that you can’t get in unity free.
