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.

This tutorial will be a refresher on how to show a video ad within Unity, with an update on how to use ShowOptions to capture the result of displaying the ad.

Configuring an Xbox controller for user input in Unity is easily achieved through Unity’s new Input System, available as an installable Package. In this tutorial, we will set up a simple scenario that uses the Xbox game controller buttons.

In this tutorial, we’ll set up a Texture Sheet animation to randomly spawn different star images on the particles in a single emitter.

Starting with Unity 2018 LTS, meshes can spawn particles in a predictable order, dictated by the order of the vertices/faces. In this tutorial, we’ll emit particles from the surface of a plane, which has a simple ordered mesh.

Unity’s High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) Lighting allows you to enhance your project’s visual appeal with ease. It uses a hybrid of Deferred and Forward Rendering Paths along with Tile and Cluster Renderers that allow the lighting to scale better than if you’re just using Unity’s built-in Rendering. In this tutorial, you will learn about HDRP and using it to light scenes.

The Sprite Mask is a useful tool in making unique effects such as character cards or portraits. It’s also useful in making detective, strategy, and even some logic based games. Having the ability to create Sprite Masks within the Unity Engine also relieves the need to have duplicate art assets for creating custom item effects, unique character cards, and more. Sprite Masks are used to hide, reveal parts of a Sprite, or a group of Sprites. The Sprite Mask only affects objects using the Sprite Renderer Component that have been configured to be used with Sprite Masks.

The Visual Environment component allows you to override a Volume’s settings for the sky (including sky type and whether its ambience is static or dynamic) and fog. In this workflow, we’ll create and confgure a Visual Environment Override.

In this tutorial we will be exploring the Universal Render Pipeline asset and its settings. We will create three pipeline assets that we can use in our project depending on what device or quality level we are targeting. You’ll want to first download the provided URP Demo Starter Project from the Tutorial Materials tab of this tutorial and open it in Unity.
