Unite Now is a digital programming series of talks, demos, Q&As and stories. Includes roadmaps, tips, in-depth learning & creator stories:
Better Artist Workflows in Unity - An Overview
Tutorial aimed to enhance workflows for a faster and more-efficient production pipeline. Techniques discussed include: Pro builder - good option for rapid prototyping and setup scene initially in white boxing (install from the package manager). Advantage is that there are component models just like a 3ds Max and can be pushed via fbx export (select convert to fbx linked prefab - real time link). Must install FBX export and in project settings define the integration (i.e. to 3ds Max). Unity tab on 3ds Toolbar. Can also replace models by adding to the heirachy and part of the export set. Materials by Shader Graph (standard with URP or HRDP). Create>Shader>PBR Graph. Cinemachine. Create a virtual camera to follow objects (by attached gameObjects and cameras). Post Processing depends on the render pipeline - URP comes with some defaults. Can add a volume control to a collider on a gameObject (but make sure set to Local). Can add textures, bloom, colour correction EFX etc. Timeline (Window>Sequencing>Timeline) good for opening sequencing and film cuts but also be used to create in game EFX.
Empowering Students
