During development of any project in Unity, there will be a need to import assets, whether they be 3D or 2D. Assets come in various file formats such as .fbx, .png, and .tga. These are just a few, but are commonly used in Unity development. In this tutorial, you will learn different ways to bring in your assets.

Sprite Animations are animation clips that are created for 2D assets. There are various ways to create Sprite Animations. One way is to create them from a Sprite Sheet, a collection of Sprites arranged in a grid. The Sprites are then compiled into an Animation Clip that will play each Sprite in order to create the animation, much like a flipbook. Sprite Animations can also be created by using keyframe animation in Unity, via the Animation window.

Unity allows you to have multiple scenes loaded simultaneously in the Unity Editor. Multi-scene editing allows you to lay out a huge game world one chunk at a time, moving everything into place, and even transfer assets from one scene to another. In this workflow, we’ll explore how we can use multi-scene editing to build a game world from modular sections.

Introduction

Setting up the first Scene

The Frame Debugger is a handy tool that allows you to freeze playback for a running game on a particular frame to view the individual draw calls used to render that frame. The debugger also lets you go through frames one-by-one so you can see in greater detail how the scene is constructed.  In this tutorial, you will learn about the Frame Debugger and how to use it for analysis.

These Companion Tutorials are related to the activities of this instructor-led Workshop. These Tutorials will refresh your memory as you apply new skills to your own projects. Come back to these Tutorials as a reference as you proceed through your learning journey with Unity. 

Using workshop assets, or assets of your own, use these Tutorials to get up and running with Unity, focusing on the features you will need to build 3D mobile games. With these tutorials, you will add objects, animate objects, build UI components, and optimize your game’s performance.

Configuring Git to use YAMLMerge

Configuring your Unity project

Usage and advanced options

YAMLMerge (unityyamlmerge.exe) is a tool that is included with the Unity Editor and works with version control software to merge Scene and Prefab files. In this workflow, we’ll configure Git to use YAMLMerge.

YAMLMerge (unityyamlmerge.exe) is a tool that is included with the Unity Editor and works with version control software to merge Scene and Prefab files. In this workflow, we’ll configure Git to use YAMLMerge. If you’d like to configure a different tool for use with YAMLMerge, please see the Unity Manual. YAMLMerge can also be run directly from the command line. 

1. Open your .gitconfig file. This is typically in your user/home directory.

[merge]
    tool = unityyamlmerge

[mergetool "unityyamlmerge"]
    trustExitCode = false
    cmd = 'C:\\Program Files\\Unity\\Hub\\Editor\\2019.2.11f1\\Editor\\Data\\Tools\\UnityYAMLMerge.exe' merge -p "$BASE" "$REMOTE" "$LOCAL" "$MERGED"

3. The path to Unity will vary depending on your platform, version number, and whether you’ve installed Unity directly or through the hub. 

1. From the Edit drop-down in the Unity Editor, select Project Settings.

3. Under Version Control, set Mode to Visible Meta Files if it’s not set already (Figure 01).

4. Set Asset Serialization to Force Text if it’s not set already (Figure 01). 

Figure 01: With these settings, your project is now ready for version control.

When there’s a merge conflict, open Git Bash and type: git mergetool.

When invoking YAMLMerge directly from the command line, you can specify which version of a file to keep by using -l or -r. You can also premerge by using the -p switch, and enable headless mode (suppress all error dialogs) by using -h. For more information on these options, invoke unityyamlmerge from the command line with no additional parameters. 

This has been a brief introduction to YAMLMerge, a tool that is included with Unity to resolve merge conflicts when using version control with your projects.
