Scriptable Objects are amazing data containers. They don't need to be attached to a GameObject in a scene. They can be saved as assets in our project. Most often, they are used as assets which are only meant to store data, but can also be used to help serialize objects and can be instantiated in our scenes. We won't cover serialization in depth in this session, but will just touch on the subject and how Scriptable Objects can help us. We will cover not only what Scriptable Objects are, but show some very simple examples using Scriptable Objects.

Scriptable Rendering Pipelines allow developers to write how Unity renders a frame in C#. Developers can use the built-in pipelines, develop their own pipelines, or customize an existing pipeline to meet a project’s needs. In this tutorial, you will learn about the different Scriptable Render Pipelines.

Scriptable brushes for Tilemaps supercharges the efficiency of an already easy-to-use system. With scriptable brushes, you can create tiles that automatically adjust their appearance based on where they've been placed in the level, change the way a line is placed on the grid, and even apply interactive components for the user when the application is being used. In this tutorial, you'll learn the basics of creating your own scriptable brushes.

When using the built-in Universal Render Pipeline, you're also afforded Unity's Scriptable Render Pipeline Batcher. In this demo, you will have a chance to experiment with the SRP Batcher and compare performance before and after enabling this feature.

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, you will learn how to use custom render passes to render a toon outline post processing effect on selected objects

This week the crew is going to lock down their object pooling to make sure their attacks are ready to be used by the player. While doing this they'll integrate the attack functionality, reload functionality and move towards a minimum viable product.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the emissive properties of HDRP Materials to contribute to a Scene’s Global Illumination.

Rule Tiles are scriptable tiles written in C#, which are smart enough to use the appropriate adjacent tiles, and handle tile animation, boundaries, and collisions on the fly. In this tutorial, you will set rules on a tile and experiment with the properties and settings of a Rule Tile.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to apply Shadow Fade Distance to lights. One way to optimize performance is to set a Shadow Fade distance on lights in the scene. The Shadow Fade property will gradually decrease shadows cast by objects further away from the light.
