50 Tips for Working with Unity (Best Practices) » devmag.org.za About these tips (Edit: August 2016. I have revised these tips. You can find the new list here.) These tips are not all applicable to every project. They are based on my experience with projects with small teams from 3 to 20 people.There’s is a price for structure, re-usability, clarity, and so on — team size and project size determine whether that price should be paid.Many tips are a matter of taste (there may be rivalling but equally good techniques for any tip listed here).Some tips may fly in the face of conventional Unity development. Process 1. 2. 3. 4. It makes it unnecessary to re-setup each scene.It makes loading much faster (if most objects are shared between scenes).It makes it easier to merge scenes (even with Unity’s new text-based scenes there is so much data in there that merging is often impractical in any case).It makes it easier to keep track of data across levels. You can still use Unity as a level editor (although you need not). 5. Scene Organisation 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Art

Example 2-1 shows the complete source code for your first vertex program in Cg. The Naming Convention for Examples The vertex program in Example 2-1 is quite simple. Example 2-1. 2.1.1 Output Structures 2.1.2 Identifiers Context
How-To: Particle FX | RoboMinion Recently, we started doing some polishing work on our game, and this meant that I had to start creating some proper particles. While I have created some placeholder particles before, this was the first time I needed to create something that was supposed to look decent. I also decided to use this opportunity and learn the new particle system in Unity. At firsts, it was quite weird to use, but after playing around for a while, I got used to it. This was one of my first ones: I showed the effect above creation on some message boards, and it got a good response, so I thought I’d share my work-flow. Result. I’m going to explain how I made the teleportation effect you see in the gif above. Start. It’s very easy to create this, if we just break it down. Size and shape. I started off by first changing the shape of my emitter. Change the shape to . Change the to 2. ( this value depends on the size of your game-world.) Change the to 0.1 ( again, this value is relative to your game-world) Turn off .
