Welcome to this getting started course for Odin Inspector and Validator. Odin Inspector helps you create custom editors for your game with ease, while Odin Validator helps you validate all your data so you can catch errors before they become a problem. By the end of this course, you'll understand the capabilities and features of Odin and know how to leverage them effectively. You'll learn how to set up Odin Inspector and Validator, use attributes, and create custom editor windows. You'll also understand how to extract the most value from Odin Validator, and ultimately, increase your productivity in Unity significantly. This course is intended for people who are not familiar with Odin but have some experience programming in C#. Creating new ScriptableObject and MonoBehaviour scripts should be familiar concepts to you. Note: The Odin Serializer will not be covered in this course.

Implementing common game programming design patterns in your Unity project can help you efficiently build and maintain a clean, organized, and readable codebase. Design patterns reduce refactoring and testing time, speeding up development processes and contributing to a solid foundation that can be used to grow your game, team, and business. Think of design patterns not as finished solutions you can copy and paste into your code, but as extra tools that can help you build larger, scalable applications. This tutorial explains the command design pattern.

By implementing common game programming design patterns in your Unity project, you can efficiently build and maintain a clean, organized, and readable codebase. Design patterns not only reduce refactoring and time spent testing, but they also speed up onboarding and development processes, contributing to a solid foundation that can be used to grow your game, development team, and business. Think of design patterns not as finished solutions you can copy and paste into your code, but as extra tools that, when used correctly, can help you build larger, scalable applications. This tutorial explains object pooling and how it can help improve the performance of your game. It includes an example of how to implement Unity’s built-in object pooling system in your projects.

As you learn and work in Unity, you'll want plenty of screen space for the Unity Editor, additional Unity windows for tasks like scripting and animating, and browser windows for tutorials, documentation, and the Unity Asset Store.  This tutorial will guide you through using browser extensions to dock Unity Learn content directly in the Unity Editor, streamlining your Unity learning experience.

Challenge Overview: Use the skills you’ve learned in the previous two lessons to score on a basketball hoop. After you’ve scored, you will have to use the hierarchy and inspector windows to manipulate the way your catapult works. When you’ve found out how to make changes to your catapult, try the Free Play activities again using different catapult settings. When you’ve finished working with the catapult settings, look at the code that calculates the values you see inside the simulation. Challenge Outcome: Catapult will throw a cannonball through a basketball hoop Catapult settings and characteristics will be manipulated Editor code will be investigated Challenge Objectives: In this challenge, you will reinforce the following skills/concepts: Using mass and force sliders to send a cannonball to a specific location Use the hierarchy menu to select elements of your catapult Adjust the launch settings of your catapult using the inspector window in Unity Complete the Free Play activities without the use of the force and mass sliders Adjust the project settings and investigate the effect of your changes in the Free Play activities Look at the code that allows the physics editor to make calculations

This tutorial will guide you through the process of rigging and animating in UModeler X. In Rigging Mode, you will learn how to animate your model by assigning and modifying weights on the meshes.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use UModeler X’s UV Editor to map 2D images onto 3D models. This will allow you to accurately apply textures, which are 2D images, to 3D models.

Rendering graphics in Unity is a complex task. This guide provides a better understanding of the underlying concepts related to rendering, and best practices for reducing the rendering workload on the GPU.

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.
