Unity 5.6 (Unity 5.6)

Unity 5 came to life two years ago at GDC 2015. It’s been an incredible era, with so many remarkable Made with Unity games and experiences created in that time such as Firewatch, Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, Lara Croft Go, Job Simulator, Assassin’s Creed Identity, and Super Mario Run. Today we announced that 5.6, the final installment of Unity 5, will be released on March 31.

两年前，Unity 5在GDC 2015上崭露头角。这是一个令人难以置信的时代，它创造了许多出色的Unity制作游戏，并在当时创造了许多经验，例如Firewatch，Star Wars：英雄银河，Lara Croft Go，Job Simulator，刺客信条：身份和超级马里奥奔跑。 今天我们宣布，Unity 5的最后一部分5.6将在3月31日发布。

Here’s a brief rundown of the key 5.6 features talked about in the keynote:

以下是主题演讲中讨论的5.6关键功能的简要概述：

Progressive Lightmapper: Gives you immediate feedback when trying out different lighting scenarios, with selective baking, super fast iteration, and debugging.

渐进式光照贴图器： 在尝试不同的光照场景时，通过选择性烘焙，超快速迭代和调试为您提供即时反馈。

Vulkan: ARM, Infinite Dream & Unity built a demo with SkyForce Reloaded to demonstrate how how Vulkan maximizes performance and reduces battery usage.

展望Unity 2017 (A look ahead at Unity 2017)

We’re excited to enter this new generation of Unity with Unity 2017, entering beta in April. We’ll continue our commitment to improve key areas like graphics, stability, efficiency, and platform growth, as well as a new dedicated focus area: artists and designers. Unity has always been a tool for programmers, but to improve overall team productivity and collaboration for the entire team, we’re starting to introduce a series of features designed specifically for artists and designers across disciplines, from technical artists, to lighting artists, animators and more.

我们很高兴能与Unity 2017一起进入新一代Unity，并于4月进入beta版本。 我们将继续致力于改善关键领域，例如图形，稳定性，效率和平台增长，以及一个新的专注领域：艺术家和设计师。 Unity一直是程序员的工具，但是为了提高整个团队的整体生产力和整个团队的协作能力，我们开始引入一系列专为跨学科的艺术家和设计师而设计的功能，从技术艺术家到灯光艺术家，动画师和更多。

Upcoming features include:

即将推出的 功能包括：

• New scriptable rendering pipeline that will allow developers to customize and extend render loops for mobile, HD and VR/AR.

  新的可脚本化渲染管道，使开发人员可以自定义和扩展针对移动，高清和VR / AR的渲染循环。

• Timeline & Cinemachine:
  Timeline is a track-based sequencing tool that applies a “drag and drop” approach to choreograph animations, sounds, events, videos and more, will make it easier for storytellers to compose stunning cinematics. Cinemachine is Unity’s smart camera system, for gameplay cameras, cutscenes, film and TV pipelines and everything in between. It allows you to create cameras which follow your direction and dynamically compose shots of variable scenarios.

  时间轴和电影机：
  时间轴是基于轨道的排序工具，可对编排动画，声音，事件，视频等应用“拖放”方法，使讲故事的人更容易创作出震撼人心的电影。 Cinemachine是Unity的智能相机系统，用于游戏机，过场动画，电影和电视管道以及介于两者之间的所有内容。 它使您可以按照自己的方向创建相机并动态地为可变场景构图。

You can check out the video of the demo presented at GDC, and best of all you can try the preview build of Timeline now.
