someone found Virtual Geometry in Unity China version, and there's more china only features: Real-time dynamic global illumination, mobile ray tracing, special ECS improvements, open world streaming.. : o forum.unity.com/threads/virtua… @unitygames when are these coming to global unity?

@unitycoder_com @unitygames How the f* is this happening lol
@unitycoder_com @unitygames This is so sad! I think they will focus on Mobile, as Unreal is way too far away regarding features and quality for PC and Consoles.
Context : Unity China is a separated entity for years now. It is regional focus. It maintains a solution embedding Unity with other tools, such as WeChat devtools and others thing you've mentionned for chinese devs. So yeah, this is expected to find cool features in it, yet these have been integrated to answer a localized need in the first place, i assume. Announcement here : blog.unity.com/news/unity-for…
@unitycoder_com @unitygames Also would love to see changes developers of Ori / Inside / Gensin did to their Unity versions 🧐
@unitycoder_com @unitygames "Virtual Geometry" oh so China has a first party nanite clone already but nobody else.
@unitycoder_com @unitygames Maybe it has something to do with licensing. China has virtually no copyright laws and maybe some of these features are based on proprietary solutions or there are a couple or reverse-engineered libs here and there. Totally illegal in civilized world, perfectly fine in china.
@unitycoder_com @unitygames Unreal Unity
@unitycoder_com @unitygames As a pre-game developer in China, I want to say that the Unity China team sucks.
@unitycoder_com @unitygames Unity Engine (China Version) ❌ Genshin Engine ⭕️
@unitycoder_com @unitygames When someone with Genshin money wants them in the west.
@unitycoder_com @pragmascript @unitygames They learned from Netflix, I guess. "This feature is not available in your current region."
@unitycoder_com @unitygames yeying3708 — Today at 7:26 AM I've asked the staff at Unity China and the answer is that it will not ported to non chinese version
@unitycoder_com @unitygames @the_f_key is this true ?
@unitycoder_com @unitygames Doesn't Unity already have these with the new LightData API in 2023.2. For the world streaming Unity is looking to be using the GPU Resident Drawer with Render Graph as a baseline feature than add the World Streaming in it. Both being the new default setting starting next update.
@unitycoder_com @unitygames How to install Unity China version?
@unitycoder_com @unitygames Haha, actually a lot of Chinese developers use the global version too. That's why I've never seen someone use these features.
@unitycoder_com @unitygames I won't be surprised if #UnityChina also reboot the rotting-on-Github #EditorXR project, at a time when #MixedReality authoring at 1:1 worldscale in games, film and engineering...is in need.
@unitycoder_com @unitygames most pieces are kinda ready; - BatchRendererGroup to build disability buffer. -virtual texture streaming - autoLod system -BRG culling What are missing: Bindless textures , blob file streaming i.r bary files
@unitycoder_com @ntheweird @unitygames Wait. THE FUCK?! Unity has a fucking Nanite analog, but only for *china*!?
@unitycoder_com @unitygames there was an smart person working on something like that for years now youtube.com/watch?v=u015hw…
