Ragdolls are variants of animated objects whose bones are completely taken over by the force of physics. They’re most often used when a character is defeated, like in an action game when a player’s health depletes, or when you want a character’s movement to appear to be driven by physical forces. In this tutorial, we’ll create a Ragdoll using Unity’s built-in Create Ragdoll window. We'll use the Eva character in our examples, but you can use any character you want.

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.

When you use a 360° video in a Unity project, it's important to manage the memory the video uses. Unity's Addressables system provides a solution for managing memory for 360° videos that's easier than using the AssetBundles API.

The world around you is in constant motion. The same is true for digital worlds. A static environment tends to appear unfinished, or cold and unfeeling; animation is all about creating the illusion of life. In this mission, you will learn how to create animations in the Unity editor and how to configure animations imported from an external program. You’ll apply these concepts to add animation to objects and characters in your scenes, and even control when the animation gets played. By the end of this mission, you’ll be able to: Describe the relationship between different animation components. Create simple keyframed 3D animation sequences. Describe key components of an animator controller. Configure Animation Clips imported from digital content creation (DCC) software or the Asset Store for use in a project. Configure a humanoid rig for use with the Humanoid Animation system. About this learning experience This project is a standalone learning experience which uses content developed for the Creative Core pathway. You’ll find everything you need to get started with animation in Unity, but you may also notice references to the guided learning journey for that pathway. If you decide that you’d like to complete the whole Creative Core pathway, you can start at any time. You’ll receive credit for any tutorials that you have already completed when you do.

The Houdini Engine for Unity plug-in gives artists and studios the ability to widely deploy procedural assets created in Houdini to the Unity real-time 3D platform for use in game and XR development, virtual production and design visualizations.

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.

Bloom gives the illusion of an extremely bright light and is a great way to enhance add visual ambiance to your Scene.

Tonemapping is the process of mapping color values from high dynamic range (HDR) to low dynamic range (LDR). In Unity, this means that for most platforms, the arbitrary 16-bit floating-point color values will be mapped to traditional 8-bit values.
