Unity game engine maker Unity Technologies has acquired Codice Software to bring version control to real-time 3D workflows. The companies did not disclose the purchase price.

The deal is a sign that interactive content creation — such as 3D animated films or movies with special effects — is increasingly moving to game engines such as Unity. But creating that content has never been more complex, the companies said. Developers have to work with fast release cycles, large file sizes, and distributed teams, which isn’t easy during the pandemic. Users need a responsive platform that is able to ensure version control updates on a complex project.
