Unity

Unity® software is the most popular development software used by developers to create games and applications across multiple platforms. From large publishers to indie studios, students and hobbyists, Unity boasts a thriving community of over 1,000,000+ registered developers and an asset store with thousands of available assets.

Arm’s Ice Cave demo was built in Unity. It incorporates Enlighten Global Illumination, soft shadows, reflections, refractions and more. Here you can find out how some of the techniques in Ice Cave and Ice Cave VR were achieved.

Arm guide for Unity developers

The Arm demo team has created Arm guide for Unity as a way of collating all of the tips and techniques learned during demo creation. It covers topics from Global illumination to VR and is intended for beginner to intermediate level developers.

Many of the techniques in the guide can be seen in action in our Ice Cave demo.

Dynamic soft shadows Unity Project - now available on the Unity Asset Store

A complete project, created by the Arm demo team to demonstrate dynamic real-time shadows based on the use of static local cubemaps. The technique improves performance and quality when rendering shadows. This is especially relevant on mobile devices, as the use of available resources must be carefully balanced.
