    Since the WWDC Tessellation demo, our team is very interested in bring the tessellation to our iOS game project. just need a experimental build to do our test. but it seems just a very vague "later this year" comment. our question is when can we get a beta version support this feature? it will greatly help us. thanks in advance!

    Bump!
    We are also interested in integrating metal compute shader into our iOS project. Any experimental builds available?
    Thanks!

    For Metal Tessellation the best estimate we can offer is later this year or early next year. Metal Compute will most likely come sooner as it is a prerequisite for Metal Tessellation. Sorry the exact timing is a bit vague but just know this is a top priority for us and we are actively working on it. :)

    Also looking for some examples of using Compute Shaders on Mac.
    Any chance we could get some example code/project?

    Yes would be happy to see this coming sooner rather than later.

    No pressure, but any chances on that tessellation for metal coming early this year?

    Are there any plans or ETA on metal tessellation support? Is it on top priority list still?

    With all the talk of performance improvements at Unite Austin, I would have thought Unity would have announced something specific in the way of Metal2 and macOS/iOS tessellation support. I get the feeling that despite the keynote rhetoric, the company’s primarily concerned with light duty casual gaming.

    Don't take this as a hard confirmation as it hasn't gone fully visible on the Roadmap website yet, but I saw this come up on the Roadmap RSS feed 9 days ago:

    So it looks like Unity is aiming to release it 2018.1.0.

    I wish the devs would stop going unresponsive when things dont go right. Clearly, they missed their release window for one reason or another. Thats fine. Just let us know instead of just hiding away and not responding. Just makes everyone more restless.

    Just use any shader with tessellation. From asset store or from unity docs

    Hi, is there a way of getting this feature to run in Unity5.6?
    Will this be patched in 5.6 because no tesselation shader is working for iOS?

    Kind regards!
