NGUI 3 Support / Re: NGUI Vs New Unity GUI
« on: September 21, 2012, 10:37:29 AM »
They do a live demo of the new GUI system in the Unite 2012 keynote speech video. http://www.tasharen.com/forum/index.php?topic=1591.0 (Forward to 1:02:12 for the new gui segment)
To be honest it looks pretty sweet, and the automatic integration to the new editor animation stuff is going to be pretty sexy as well. However with that being said it most certainly does not appear to be using sprites or atlases at all and unless they have come up with some stellar way to keep draw calls and performance hits to a minimum for mobile development, I am pretty sure that we will continue using NGUI, even after this is out. However, like Aren said, until it is actually in our hands it is hard to tell. The only thing i know for certain is that NGUI is hands down the best solution available at the moment and will undoubtedly be a strong contender even after 4.0 and the new GUI systems are released! (IF it ever gets released... that kind of has to happen before any of this is even an issue and so far that particular bit of joy has not had a good track record lol)
