Unity Image Loader: Asynchronous image loading from remote or local destination.

Features:
✔️ Async loading from Web or Local ImageLoader.LoadSprite(imageURL);
✔️ Memory and Disk caching - tries to load from memory first, then from disk
✔️ Dedicated thread for disk operations
✔️ Avoids loading same image multiple times simultaneously, task waits for completion the first and just returns loaded image if at least one cache layer activated
✔️ Auto set to Image ImageLoader.SetSprite(imageURL, image);
✔️ Auto set to SpriteRenderer ImageLoader.SetSprite(imageURL, spriteRenderer);
✔️ Debug level for logging ImageLoader.settings.debugLevel = DebugLevel.Error;

The Art of Unity Optimization

A similar approach to the one I have shared above recently but on everyone's favorite rotating cubes sample. Still recommend to watch the previous video, but this one shorter and shows similar techniques to increase performance when you have many entities.

unity-hierarchy-folders: Specialized folder objects for Unity Hierarchy.

With big scenes you might want to have game objects organized in some way. However using just empty game objects for it might lead to performance issues as the engine won't be able to parallelize transforms processing, as Unity manages them on hierarchies level.
This tool helps prevent these issues by removing all overhead during the build process.
