Unity provides a modern integrated development environment (IDE) for 3D content development on the Mac OS X desktop platform. It allows developers to assemble 3D games and simulations using a ?exible drag-and-drop environment, and a fully integrated scripting environment, based on the JavaScript, Python and C# languages.
