If you’re an artist, you get a consistent, Unity-supported experience across all these toolsets using our Splines solution. Several default components are also included with the Splines package, so you can use this new artist tooling right away.

Creating dynamic animations programmatically with Unity coroutines - Building many variations of the same animation with transitions/blendtrees connecting them can give the illusion to the player that it is dynamic. Although, this isn’t always feasible or practical, as well as there being a fundamental limitation relying on statically defined animations. In this article I will go over how I instead use the power of coroutines to write programmatic animations so you can create these gameplay mechanics easily and ultimately with more control.

Clockwise and Counterclockwise sorting of 2D coordinates - Sometimes you have a bunch on 2D coordinates stored in a list and would like to connect them in a way so that they form a closed shape. However, it may not always be possible because of the order in which they’ve been added to a data structure. The problem is that we need to sort out the coordinates in such a way so that we can easily connect them with each other inside a loop. In other words, every consecutive coordinate needs to be connected with a previous one so that in the end we can receive a closed shape drawn in a circular manner. The diagram below presents the situation.

Unity Asynchronous Image Loader - ImageConversion.LoadImage and Texture2D.LoadImage are slow when loading large images (greater than 2K) at runtime. They blocks the Unity main thread when loading the image for a duration between a hundred milliseconds and even a few seconds. This is a dealbreaker for those games and applications that want to load those images programmatically at runtime. This package aims to offload image loading, image decoding and mipmap generation to other threads. It creates smoother gameplay and reduces lag spike on the Unity main thread when loading large images.
