Unity Resources and Live Demos Updates!

I wanted to take a quick moment and point folks to a pair of recent additions to our website, notably one new Resource posting and one new Live Demo you can view.

Example Project: Head Look Controller
Make characters dynamically turn their heads to look at any point in space.

Live Demo: Butterfly Demo
Explore a lazy summer day in this outdoor environment. Features soft shadows and depth of field. Use space to flap wings, arrows for direction and mouse to steer.

The above come courtesy of Rune as well as our Demo Team. As always there’s lots more on the way so stay tuned. In the meantime, check out both of the above and have fun!

The butterfly live demo is beautiful! Although it was a little hard to control.

I am impressed, however my butterfly unfortunately got impaled on one of the tree branches and I wasn’t able to move :stuck_out_tongue:

I mentioned internally that I was waiting for a bird to swoop down out of nowhere and just eat up the butterfly… :slight_smile:

LOL, would be funny !

Although, this butterfly demo is indeed incredibly beautiful.

“Use space to flap wings, arrows for direction and mouse to steer.”

Missing an additional hand to control the butterfly. Tried using my nose to press the spacebar, but I keep missing the stunning visuals this way :smile:

mmm delicious! very useful, too… nice flight controls, camera mgmt, and practical DOF setup. And Rune’s stuff just keeps getting more awesome. Thanks y’all!

Nice Butterfly and scene but the blur is way too strong. Really hurts my eyes after 2 minutes. A more subtle blur would work better (just my artistic point of view) :wink:

Hmm, yeah, we’ve gotten a lot of feedback on this. I thought we toned down the blur quite a bit, but maybe a little more :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m still not happy with the controls either so we’ll be tweaking them. Glad you guys like it though for the most part :wink:

the blur was awfully distracting since the environment was beautiful, (i actually felt like a senile old man aimlessly stumbling through a garden (if that wasn’t what you were going for then yes change it!))

The butterfly’s colours contrast very nicely with the greenery. It’s very beautiful. Good job!

Any chance this will be released as a demo project later on?

Yeah, we’ll put out the project folder in the not too distant future :wink:

Beautiful demo. Though I’m not a fan of the default moving with the mouse no matter what. Makes me feel crazy when I go to hit buttons on the browser and the world spins around. :lol:

The Butterfly is beautiful!

The blur is a bit strong but I didn’t find him hard to steer once I got the hang of it.

I can spacebar and arrow key with one hand.

I thought it was great you could fly him through the hollow log!

Crashed my firefox browser (win xp) when exiting the butterfly demo.

:frowning:

Then did it again.

And a third time.

I don’t think I’ll play with that little flutterby any more.

Otherwise, all is good… so far.

It crashed when exiting fullscreen or when closing the tab/window? What type of GFX card do you have?

Crashed closing the tab, not full screen.

Graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT and I’m using two monitors.

No problems at all with Unity, no matter what I’ve opened until I updated this morning to 2.51.

I tried to shoot laser beams out of my antennae and drop incendiary bombs on a few lady bugs, but nothing worked. In the end, my butterfly got eaten by a tarantula hawk wasp. Otherwise, it was beautiful and relaxing.

is it possible to download the source code?, or at least, the shader :wink:

For now, no, we don’t have the source project posted. I just asked the demo team guys if we were planning to post it and so far the plan hasn’t included that, but they’re also not set against it in any way. They’re going to give the project a look and possibly post it in a future Resources area update.

As to the shader (as it’s not the same depth of field shader found in the Shader Replacement demo), here ya go! (attached to my post)
