At the current Unite 09 conference, a new release of the Unity3D was announced, bringing it up to version 2.6. According to the website, this new version brings along more than 100 enhancements in respect to the previous version.

That's sad, as many of these models are really great additions to the portfolio. >>> No related posts.
