Unity Technologies has announced the release of Unity 3D 2.0.1, an updated version of their 3D game design engine for Mac OS X. The free update for registered 2.0 users is ready for download. The software runs on Mac OS X but enables developers to deploy across multiple platforms, including Mac OS X, Windows and the Web. It incorporates an integrated editor, asset importing, shadow and light support, optimized graphics for both OpenGL and DirectX, terrain modeling, shaders, scripting support, networking, physics, audio and video support and asset management. New to the 2.0.1 release is support for Mac OS X v10.5 “Leopard," along with some necessary documentation updates that “enhance the documentation for both pre-existing and new features introduced with the initial Unity 2.0 release," according to the developers.
Shrews in logo change
Shrewsbury Town Football Club has launched a new logo which will be used from next season. The new design is in the club's blue and amber colours. It has been changed on legal advice so the club can better protect its corporate identity ahead of moving to its new £15 million stadium in Oteley Road this summer. The new look has been designed by Shrewsbury Town season ticket holder Tony Brooks. Town chief executive Steve Wellbeloved said: "The bottom line is that we have to be able to protect our brand. We can't do that with our current logo, nor with tweaked versions of it that look any good, so we've had to make a decisive change. "The result is a clear, strong, clean logo. And, crucially, one that has passed all the necessary searches and so is able to be registered in 14 trademark classes - covering a full range of club activities both current and future." .
