Does unity 5 personnal edition support cluster rendering
I'm interested in the use of cluster rendering and read where its a special license required. Since there has been major changes in Unity 5, i was wondering if this is part of either personnel or pro. I sent an email to the links supplied (unity sales in my area) but received no reply. Can anyone provide guidance on how I can get the use of cluster rendering to test if its a viable solution to my teams work. Thank you.

Its in the Manual
http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Clusters.html
The big step of Unity 5 is that all features are available in the Personal edition.
Thank you for your reply, however:
http://docs.unity3d.com/$$anonymous$$anual/ClusterInstallation.html
Gives guidance on the special license, contacts, etc. which I read and sent the email out to the sales as per the instruction. They have not responded back and it has been a week. I understand they may be busy or what not which is why I posted here in case there is another option that isn't listed in the manual.
$$anonymous$$anaged to skim over that bit without taking it in.
Perhaps you should call them or try the sales for a different country.

The licence you need is neither the personnal nor the pro but the licence from the closed beta for the Cluster Rendering. I think the Cluster rendering will be available to everybody in the release of 5.3.
In the meanwhile like you did you can ask Unity for an access to the beta.
Good Luck
Thank you for the info, would you happen to know who I might be able to contact in regards to a beta access request? In the meantime I'm going to try to call sales and do it that way. Thank you again.
no sorry. But because the cluster rendering made its way to the beta i don't expect them to give new Licence for beta.
Even then you can still to contact sales, it doesn't hurt and you might get a more precise answer.
Thanks again for the info. Going back to the sales site, the only contacts for my state are email only, and upon some further searching it sounds like the license for this is even more than pro (if this is a pro required feature) and its 1 license per machine. I hope thats not the case but luckily for my $$anonymous$$m its not our money lol. But in any case I hope to hear something back from sales this time. Thanks again.
