Love seeing demos like this one we revealed yesterday at SIGGRAPH, it really shows Unity's commitment to building out great artist tools and HDRP so we can push even further into the triple-A space :)

Yup, that's quite the misstep. There's zero need to respect an opinion that's all about infringing on other people's basic human rights. Such opinions are objectively garbage and have no place in modern society.

Oh also, we launched an awesome new ebook this morning - this one is all about 2D game art, animation, and lighting - highly recommend it if you're building a 2D title and looking for extra tips/tricks on artist workflows:

Love this new trailer, it nicely demos Unity's investment into high-fidelity human/skin/hair tech (see also: our recent acquisitions of Weta and Ziva), which historically has been more of an Unreal thing. Lots more exciting stuff to come in this space :)
🎞 A new real-time cinematic demo is here: Enemies 🎞 Created by Unity’s Demo team, Enemies showcases high-fidelity digital humans, an all-new, strand-based Hair solution, and our latest graphics advancements. Watch the new demo on YouTube: https://t.co/JDiMTCzO2Z

Holy fucking shit, this is insane. The West needs to step up its involvement and stop this right now. Putin must go.
Mariupol. Direct strike of Russian troops at the maternity hospital. People, children are under the wreckage. Atrocity! How much longer will the world be an accomplice ignoring terror? Close the sky right now! Stop the killings! You have power but you seem to be losing humanity.
