Fantasy Kingdom in Unity 6

At Unite 2023 we introduced Unity 6, our next major Unity release.

In the keynote, we showcased Fantasy Kingdom in Unity 6, a stylized environment that showcases the latest capabilities for rendering, lighting, and scaling richer worlds, with significant performance improvements. The kingdom comes to life through the use of Adaptive Probe Volumes that deliver more immersive, natural lighting scenarios and foliage details through enhanced SpeedTree integration. Hardware-based optimizations and boosts in performance are unlocked through GPU Resident Drawer, GPU Occlusion Culling, and the Spatial-Temporal Post-Processing (STP). This demo is a modified and expanded version of “Fantasy Kingdom” by Synty Studios.

Stay tuned for more about Unity 6!

It's always nice having more performant rendering.

[luluskuy]

gpu occlusion culling is game changer!

[Guedez]

So are you telling me the mentally special individuals at upper management almost nuked the entire company right before a major product release? 👏👏👏👏👏

[WiseRiley]

great job by the dev team (pity ur bosses are such greedy fs tho)

[CodeMonkeyUnity]

This demo scene looks insanely gorgeous!
It definitely goes to show how you can make Low poly assets look truly beautiful, it's all in the lighting and post processing.

[SpeedTutor]

This looks pretty awesome, I can't wait to check it out in the Keynote - Hopefully we continue to see strides in lighting improvements.

Looks nice, but for me, I would like that when you write about a rendering feature, you show a difference of when it's on or off. Otherwise, if you do not know what the feature actually does it just becomes a buzz word.

I feel so proud seeing this! My first successful release was with Unity, and it broke my heart to see the hole it fell into with the bungling mismanagement. Glad Unity is finally on the right path again!

Still waiting for SSR on URP lol but hey i'm impressed with these new additions

[knightoftheblood]

Finally, after 8 years! We have Unity 6! Such a long wait...

[no_fb]

can't imagine how much time it needs to load a level like that, and how expensive the GPU must be to run it smoothly XD

[LiquidMark]

What GPU and CPU are you running in this?

[CodahWasTaken]

I love the birds flying at 10 frames per second

[alexpascual]

When double precision for coordinates and physics?

[johnleorid]

So many residents - what about NavMesh? Do we get some multihreading there so we can build RTS Games?
(PS: "GPU Resident Drawer" seems to be for static meshes only, not NPCs)

[DarkFantasyIsland-GameDev]

Are those volumentric clouds available directly in Unity 6?

[yfchan]

so where can i download this Fantasy Kingdom project?

[GrowthforGames]

Proud to have been the first to cover it :)

[jaroslavpachota]

Today's keynote was great and you could see that the team working on Unity is back again, incredible calm energy from Jim Whitehurst 🤝

[pushingpandas]

Can we download the scene if we own Kingdom from synty? Iam not sold that this is realtime!
