Unigine Tropics Demo 1.1
The chaps behind the 3d real time engine Unigine have updated their far-cry-like tech-demo. More information about this new version on the release notes. The demo offers Direct3D 9 / 10 / 10.1 and OpenGL 2.1 rendering modes. A really cool tech demo with a nice background music…

Demo does not run on XP 32 with DirectX 9.0c at all and totally stutters using OpenGL engine (only 4 fps!!) with my Radeon 4850 (Catalyst 8.10). Just crap or still ATI driver issues???
I’ve just tested the DX9 version and it works fine on my WinXP32 + GeForce GTX 280. I think it’s a catalyst issue… I’ll test it on my hd 4850 asap.

Just plain crap. Even good old Far Cry looks heaps better (i’m not mentioning current games) and this demo runs in low FPS even on high-end systems..
[...] Magus ex Machina is an animated movie that has been developed with a realtime 3D engine: Unigine. Unigine is not an unknown 3D engine since it’s behind the tech demo Tropics. [...]
I have the evaluation kit for the unigine engine. It’s rubbish. The cost is way too high.
