[…] Conference and have had it accepted for Steam Greenlight. However, as mentioned in several previous blog posts, time is no longer on our side and we are re-focusing our efforts on Cubiquity […]

I am an Unreal user and am anxious to give this a try
Do you have an ETA for cubiquity 2

If you are using Unity 4 you can use the latest version in the asset store, which should also match the master branch in Bitbucket. The development branch in Bitbucket has indeed dropped Unity 4 support but it has not added any features, so you are not missing anything by using Unity 4 and the master branch or asset store.

Version 1 of Cubiquity is now basically discontinued and it is not exactly clear what form Cubiquity 2 will take, nor whether it will focus on Unity or Unreal. It will be a complete rewrite though, and I doubt if there will be anything usable in less than a year.

Cubiquity v1 may be removed from the asset store eventually but there is no hurry here, and it will stay on Bitbucket (including the master branch with Unity 4 support).

Note my posts are relevant towards bitbucket / github… You are removing Cubiquity v1 from the asset store eventually?

Wouldn’t it be better to drop Unity 4 in v2? The current version works well for Unity 4 Pro as far as I’ve tested the included examples (Mac).

I totally understand that Unity 5 Free has less limitations than Unity 4 Free but this totally changes if you are a Unity 4 Pro user such as myself, the number of draw calls rise up switching to Unity 5 Free (Mac).

I’m not trying to sell you on Unity 4 going forward but a simple change would maintain all that effort that lead up to Cubiquity v1’s final release.

> Does this mean the libCubiquity source was provided for Unity3D then? David thank you for creating and sharing this wonderful project.

Yes, it is here (though the code is a bit messy…): https://bitbucket.org/volumesoffun/cubiquity

> Note the last Unity 4 build was updated to 4.7.2. This breaks a couple of minor areas in Cubiquity for Unity3D…

Huh, yes, that wasn’t very forward-thinking! Actually I think you can just use ‘UNITY_4’? I’m not going to do a new asset store release for this as it is quite some work, and actually the development branch no longer supports Unity 4 anyway so there’s no point committing the change there (I’ve simply removed that piece of code now).

So you will just have to keep the change locally, but thanks anyway for pointing it out.

Does this mean the libCubiquity source was provided for Unity3D then? David thank you for creating and sharing this wonderful project. Note the last Unity 4 build was updated to 4.7.2. This breaks a couple of minor areas in Cubiquity for Unity3D. I understand that development isn't active however I believe there will not be a UNITY_4_8 going forward... #if (UNITY_4_3 || UNITY_4_5 || UNITY_4_6) needs to be #if (UNITY_4_3 || UNITY_4_5 || UNITY_4_6 || UNITY_4_7) in VolumeRenderer.cs and OctreeNode.cs
