It's amazing to see what Unity has grown into. Once a relatively simple web player, it's now one of the most flexible video game engines. TechPowerUp writes about the company's new Heretic tech demo, a stunning display of what's possible with the Unity engine.

The Heretic builds upon learnings derived from both the Adam and Book of the Dead short,s and take advantage of the latest technologies embedded into the Unity engine. Motion blur, bloom, depth of field, film grain, color grading, and Panini projection, including by real-time lights and usage of a probe-based lighting solution.

Furthermore, Unity also demonstrated real-time ray tracing. This functionality will soon be integrated into the engine.
