Last night I thought I read in one of the posts that there’s a new First Person Controller in Unity 2.0 (I was half-asleep at the time, so I’m not sure if I dreamt it). Anyway, I dragged in a new FPC to replace my “old” one and immediately saw a great difference in the rendering through the FPC’s main camera (same settings as my “old” one). There seemed to be greater contrast and saturation and crispness of color. In fact, everything looked much better. Is this a result of the new rendering system, or is this my imagination?
I would guess cameras had different Image Effects on them. (Or one without any at all, etc) Could that have been the case?

The mouselook script used on the FPC prefab was slightly revised to use Quaternion.AngleAxis instead of Quaternion.AxisAngle (which is now deprecated), but other than that, yeah, I’m afraid it’s your imagination. 
The only possible thing I can think of offhand is that lights can use values > 1 now (up to 8 I believe) in order to intensify them, other than that I dunno…

I did have a glow effect on the original camera at one time, but I removed it last week. Weird. Before I deleted the old camera, I checked its settings against the new one, and they were the same. The render settings were the same, too.

Yes, I tweaked the light intensity, but that was a few days before the FPC switch. The rendering change between the two cameras was so marked that I couldn’t miss it. In fact, I even had to lower the ambient render setting a little, because of the intensity of the colors. It probably all comes down to me having set something in the original camera that I didn’t set in the new one. Or else I need shock therapy. :shock:
In Unity 1.6 cameras used bright blue/cyan background by default. In 2.0 cameras use darker blue background color by default. That alone makes things look much better 
(of course if you customize the background or use a skybox then this does not make a difference)
cough Maybe your monitor displays things a lot differently 'cause that dark blue is the one thing I dislike about 2.0.
