@npub14w8…lm6n it is 100% a plagiarism device.
It actually got me thinking that if they actually trained this on a commercial game that wasn't open source, it would be a clear cut copyright violation.

You can now easily move assets from the Unity game engine to Unigine (@Unigine) in just seconds thanks to the new Unity Importer.
In many ways Unigine is the most Unity-like engine out there.

What game engine should I start with?
A good question since... you don't know what you don't know.
Obvious answers are #unity3d, #unrealengine or #GodotEngine.
IMHO there are better choices for beginners.

The fallout from the Unity run-time fee disaster continues, as Unity CREATE head Marc Whitten has resigned.
Is everyone responsible for the run-time fee now gone or leaving at this point?
