In addition to Square and Rectangular Tilemaps, Unity can also create Hexagonal and Isometric Tilemaps.

Adding a light to a Particle System illuminates the environment and objects around the particles and makes the effect more impactful. In this tutorial, you will create a firefly effect that uses a light to illuminate the environment.

In this project, you will: Learn about the Bolt Visual Scripting interface Become familiar with Visual Scripting concepts Navigate the Bolt Graph, Graph Inspector and Variables windows Develop mechanics and system using Bolt’s node based graph system Create a full Platformer experience consisting of 4 levels and a main menu.

In previous versions of Unity, the only way to create specialized Materials was to program a custom shader or use an outside plugin. With the release of 2018, Unity now has its own native Shader Graph, which can be used to build visually complex Materials using nodes. Unlike the process of writing code, saving, compiling, and testing in the Editor, the Shader Graph shows you what’s happening to the Material in real-time, allowing you to make changes and experiment on the fly.

One component of HDRP is the Decal Projector. This casts an image onto objects in a Scene. In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the decal projector to project an image onto objects in a Scene.

In this tutorial, we’ll go over how to set up Reflection Probes and how to get them to work in real-time. In Unity’s included sample scene of a Workshop Set, Reflection Probes are automatically included. Here, they will be removed so we can recreate our own Reflection Probes.

In this project, you will be using the Spotlight Tunnel project. It features high quality realistic assets that serve as a perfect example of the types of rendering capabilities that are possible with the HDRP. The techniques learned in the project can be applied to any HDRP project and this project should be used as a reference for your high fidelity needs.

A profiling tool gives detailed information about how a game is performing. The Profiler window is a powerful profiling tool that is built into Unity. This tutorial describes what the Profiler window is used for and how to use it to diagnose performance problems in a game or other application.

Once you've discovered a performance problem in your game, how should you go about fixing it? This tutorial discusses some common issues and optimization techniques for scripts, garbage collection, and graphics rendering.

The goal of the Lightweight Rendering Pipeline (LWRP) is to provide optimized performance for developers targeting a broad range of platforms, VR, and games with limited realtime lighting needs. It does this by making some tradeoffs with regard to lighting and shading.
