Unity Next Gen UNVEILED! (and news from Unite)

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

EDIT: On the Built-in Render Pipeline, it's actually being marked as "deprecated" in Unity 6 and will be fully removed on Unity Next Gen. That future version will only have the Unified Renderer. 💬 Unite was awesome!

[@rustam8647]

Do you know if Unity recorded talks? (and maybe they plan to upload them to youtube?)

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

They did mention they recorded them so yup they will be coming to KZbin, although I don't know when. If I had to guess I would say it will probably take a few weeks.

[@willgoldstone]

Just to clarify the confusion you mention around 11:30 in the video - this stuff is all labelled Unity 6 Generation as its a mix of 6.1 and beyond stuff, and at the time of performing the roadmap we still had a few things that were uncertain to make 6.1, so we didn't want to label specifically and let anyone down. hope that helps, and thanks for the summary video :)

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Oh I see, so is none of that out in 6.0? Only 6.1 and beyond? I thought Deferred + and Build Profiles were already in 6.0

[@willgoldstone]

@@CodeMonkeyUnity Build Profiles for usual platforms are in 6.0, we showed profiles for Quest and Instant Games (collab with Meta) that are coming in an update release, and Deferred+ which is coming in 6.1.

[@eziowayne]

I was a unity developer for 5+ years. I hopped over to Godot when they made the price changes. Now I’m tentatively coming back to Unity because despite enjoying Godot, I’m just so much more experienced with Unity and enjoy a lot of its features. Godot can also be a bit unstable sometimes with certain features like when I tried to import from Blender

[@ArksideGames]

yep, also unity backtracked on the bad changes

[@TheWorldsprayer]

not to mention that the feature list of godot is microscopic in comparison to unity. I understand that Godot has its uses and abilities, but those who try to compare it to unity are practically mad. The 2 engines and development environments are so far apart in maturity it's ridiculous.

[@eziowayne]

@@TheWorldsprayer tbh Godot impressed me with how capable it is. And it’s definitely got a bright future. I hope to see it become similar to Blender in terms of providing very high quality while being free and open source. But I agree, Unity is just more robust and more stable at the moment imo.

[@korpos8833]

The comeback is real!

[@eziowayne]

@@korpos8833 here’s hoping! 🤞🏼

[@mrzaphkielYT]

I was drooling durring the entire video more than a Saint Bernard dog. Defenetly Unity 6 is WAY TO GO for any of my future project! All the positive changes with the new CEO and all the new features are coming up are EXTREMLY EXCITING! Can't wait for it!!!! Thank you CM for the recap! o7

[@Lightologyy]

Is it coming out in october? (LTS)

[@ExpensivePizza]

I only started using Unity about 2 years ago. Sometimes while learning the engine things felt a bit outdated and awkward to use and it was quite disheartening to go through the runtime fee debacle but after seeing all these positive changes coming things are starting to look up again. It's very exciting to see that Unity still potentially has a great future going forward.

[@PotatoManager420]

Finally, an animation system with DOTS support!

[@UnitCodesChannel]

And autoLOD

[@lushen952]

Why is this good? DOTS continues to have major issues. Including...often times demonstrating less performance than the old way of doing things despite Unity claims.

[@UnitCodesChannel]

@@lushen952 i agree on some parts, especially if one copy pastes code without understanding it.

[@danielkandersen6599]

@@lushen952 The point of DOTS is to help make informed descions about how you program, if you use it blind you'll get worse performance indeed.. it's definitely not a magic silver bullet. Similar to assembly you can theoretically optimize with assembly but no one knows enough to out compete most compilers. Therefor the point of DOTS is to make it simple to get that control, but you still have a slightly more happy performance foot gun! :D I'll challenge you to find an example of someone that knows hardware oriented programming that can't make a system faster with DOTS than with normal GOs. Also noteworthy to point out that a lot has changed with DOTS throughout the year and as a result if you want to see how it looks now, stay tuned for the "Connecting the DOTS" talk :D

[@lushen952]

@danielkandersen6599 I am well aware of how DOTS works and have used it. There have been cases where official unity showcases delivered less performance than the non DOTS alternative. DOTS works great when you have a large quantity of things (entities) that do the same thing. IE, hack and slash style games where there is an obnoxious # of AI controlled enemies. However...when you have a single entity that does a particular thing the DOTS system has negative performance. Of course we have hybrid DOTS. But this doesn't change the fact that a very large # of games simply do not have a reason to use DOTS so the investment unity has been putting into it IMO is not worth it. A lot of their under the hood dots systems like their dots renderer simply don't have the performance gains they promised.

[@willgoldstone]

Another point of clarification at 14:30, we will mark Built-in as deprecated in Unity 6 Generation - you said 'next generation'. So to be clear, Built-in will not be in the next generation, as per the visual on the slide, it will just be the Unified Renderer.

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Oh got it, thanks for the correction Will!

[@Edvinas01]

Been waiting for your recap vid. Thanks for all the work!

[@Chronomatrix]

The Unified Renderer was much needed, great news.

[@denisgoodman4492]

But the most interesting point how it will be implemented and how it will affect on performance, because two separate pipeline can give possibility to use different things (from URP/HDRP) for different cases (Mobile/HighEND)

[@surija.gabriel]

Thanks for always keeping us up to date with all the news!

[@RunninglVlan]

They could remove old Unity UI from the engine and move it to a package instead, so people who don't want to switch to UITK could still keep upgrading their engine version

[@Ashley-xb1dz]

While I like the idea of keeping things in packages, it's so easy to use as is and will break quite a lot of assets I wonder how this will go..

[@davidheary2482]

I know these videos take a lot of time to produce, thank you for all your work.

[@Zanthous_]

Faster compilation and non-blocking importing, these sort of features are the biggest to me. I want the fastest iteration speed possible, if it's slow it's way easier to get bored or distracted

[@MrOmega-cz9yo]

Hi Cm! Thanks for the previews, and glad you had a good time at Unite. Unity 6 looks good, but the planned upgrades for Unity 7 will finally add all the things I've wished for years ago.

[@royalt4580]

There is a new asset that will hit the asset store soon. Something that rivals nanite. Made by a German software developer called Chris kahler. Hope unity integrates that like they did bolt.

[@ZombieChicken-X]

[@Gurem]

I hope tf not. Assets are better when handled by a third party. Unity acquires stuff and let it rot.

[@CodyDreams]

@@Gurem no i really think unity should take it and develop it until we can use it . i dont think that amount of complex thing with a single person developing is no easy task . also take a lot of time to create . the best solution is unity to take it . let just hope new ceo will don't rot that

[@R.B.]

​@@CodyDreamsit's a double edged sword. If the asset is acquired, the developer of that asset might join Unity, and then they will have other resources they can leverage. However, it is also possible that the developer might have other responsibilities added, and as other projects might receive higher priority, that original asset might not receive the attention it needs. Considering all the work being committed for Unity 6+ and Unity Next Gen, I'd be concerned that right now something like that would be considered a lower priority. Unity may be a bigger company than a single developer, but there is a mountain of work.

[@crazyfox55]

I also really like the ability to search for Unity 6 when I need a unity tutorial. When they stopped using the name Unity 5 I found it much harder to find tutorials on Unity.

[@Kronnect]

It was nice to meet you at Unite!

[@PDCMYTC]

Judging people's personalities by their looks is so amazing!

[@coachmcguirk8277]

​@@PDCMYTC I know they told you as a kid to "not judge a book by it's cover", but it was a lie. Of course you judge a book by it's cover, the cover was designed to reflect the contents of the book. However, you shouldn't assume with 100% certainty and make rash decisions based on the cover. Most people wear their personalities. The old ceo looked like a non-gamer, business type, focused on the $. New ceo looks like they might actually participate in the thing that they're selling (gaming). Of course, like with anything, there's going to be exceptions. But it's foolish to disregard your common sense when the majority of the time it's true. Just don't go over the line and be an ass about it.

[@TheWawro1]

@@CodeMonkeyUnity yeah they work sadly for windows only

[@Misaki_eku]

I guess how unity handle the shader difference in the unified renderer is by forcing user to use the block shader and shader graph. this way unity can use code gen to handle different render pipeline and user don't need to write another set of code. I really can't get the point of merging the render pipeline, I think keep them separate and clear from each other is way better to manage both project and rendering resources. The unified renderer is more like install both urp and hdrp at the same time, changing the render loop just like changing the renderer pipeline asset.

[@Hietakissa]

I like that they're merging them. I use URP because I work on 2D and low-poly 3D games, but there are some HDRP features I'd still like, like the volumetric fog. I don't see why they can't just have the different features be toggleable and have customizable settings and presets to customize performance while getting the features you want and need

[@Misaki_eku]

​@@Hietakissa But some features like volumetric fog still likely unavailable in what they call "simple render loop" when the unified renderer come out.

[@Ashley-xb1dz]

I think it's a mixed bag, from a technical artist point of view it could be easier so you don't have to redo stuff 3x, from a data point of view this sounds like a nightmare, plus what if you don't want to use shader graph? As a user I just want to download assets and have them work, but I also don't want to add all the xtra stuff a massive unified renderer could entail. I wonder how this will go..

[@Smash_ter]

I'm somebody that makes UGC for a Unity game called VRChat. The thing I'm honestly concerned with the Unified Renderer is how they're did not disclose if they'd make built in's source code available to the public so we could be able to use it as a reference for stuff that's been built on the legacy renderer. Staying on Unity 6 is asking us to not be able to properly support newer hardware or forego any performance benefits that swapping to the newer version would give.

[@jeffmccloud905]

isn't VRChat so far behind on Unity, that you don't have to worry about v6 ?

@@jeffmccloud905 you seem to not understand what my concerns are nor do you see the bigger issue if you're going to give me this reply. The issue is not updating their SDK, it's migrating over a decade of content to something that will mark the shader pipeline it uses as deprecated before getting killed off in the newer iteration. Hence why I said I'd like it if Unity made the source code public so some of the built in features could be migrated to a custom SRP.

Unity has all sorts of weird problems on this version or that version, so those issues are valid questions. I had to switch unity 2022 versions to later versions of 2022 to be able to download a unity template due to their naming issues with their paths. It would be nice if unity were able to just stick with a unity 6.0 6.1+ system etc.... Update: The multiplayer XR template has these weird pathing problems btw, since I see you mention it. Also yes, I don't think they should get rid of all the old UI stuff because that will break too much stuff.

Please consider function across the board Unity - looks like your starting to .. Ramble ramble - I'm looking forward to migrating a project or two - Can't wait to stop using custom function node in shadergraphs and trying these block nodes - learning shadergraph and shader language pay-offs there ! .. and thank god they booted the bread-heads and boring nut cases at Unity.
