Unity debuts Time Ghost real-time cinematic with Unity 6

Unity has showcased Time Ghost, its latest real-time cinematic, created using Unity 6. Unveiled at Unite 2024 in Barcelona, Time Ghost demonstrates the capabilities of Unity 6, focusing on advancements in visual fidelity, complexity, and machine learning workflows. Developed by the Unity Demo team, which previously worked on projects like The Blacksmith and Enemies, the demo highlights Unity’s High Definition Render Pipeline, sophisticated lighting options such as Adaptive Probe Volumes, and performance boosts with tools like GPU Resident Drawer.

The project uses the Data-Oriented Technology Stack for efficiently rendering large environments, with nearly 12 million vegetation instances. Leveraging machine learning with Unity Sentis, the demo achieves real-time cloth deformations at high fidelity. Other notable features include an improved Hair System, VFX Graph for realistic effects, and robust collision systems.

Time Ghost will release selected scenes via the Unity Asset Store on October 17, 2024, alongside Unity 6.
