    Hi guys,
    i've recently bought a new iMac and installed Unity (previously i've tried to use it on a MacBook but it didn't works because of X3100 bad drivers.. :evil: ).
    i've published the Island demo just after load and i have a trouble..
    going underwater, i can't see the blur effect and at loading i have an errore message: can't show water reflections because the graphic card is old.
    is it right?
    are these features exclusive for PRO version?
    i can see the demo via WEB and it works great!

    thanks in advance

    Emiliano

    Which iMac?

    -The island demo publishes properly from indie to imac intel even though those pro features are locked.

    -Could be an erroneous message?

    hi!
    i have an Intel iMac with leopard, a new one!
    no trouble to publish but i can't see what i can see with the demo published on Unity site.
    i've installed the V. 2.0.2 and all updates on my iMac.

    the machine is just installed and i have a clean installed version of Unity too..

    what can i check?

    I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure the Island Demo uses Render-To-Texture for the blur effect, and probably uses it for reflections also (but there is the possibility that they use cubemaps for reflections). That would mean it is Pro specific.

    thanks!
    this is what i need to know :wink:
    i was so disappointed to know that a new macbook can't works fine because GFX drivers are rotten..
    so i've bought a new iMac to try to develop with Unity and now.. this error!
    next time i'll throw everything out of the window and go to fish! :D

    thanks again
