Unity is a great platform for developing VR and AR applications. When developing a cross-platform application there are often native…

In this game dev tutorial I will show how to to easily optimize your unity sprites by shifting colour instead of creating new assets. It's a useful technique that will make creating game objects faster, and also increase performance by reducing memory usage.…

Shader compilation is a lengthy process that involves several steps. One of the first steps is preprocessing the shader source. Unity 2020.1 beta introduces the Caching Shader Preprocessor, a new custom solution to perform this compilation step. It is up…

In this article I present an approach for game code architecture that we built for an unannounced Unity project.

В пакете TextMeshPro уже есть встроенная градиентная заливка, но для моей задачи она не совсем подходила..

Сейчас можно видеть, как выглядит сцена без настройки: Для того, чтобы настроить плагин, добавляем на объект с основной камерой компонент Post-Processing Layer, в нём задаём Layer на Everything (и заодно сглаживание, которое уберёт лесенки с краёв моделей).…

.NET offers an extended set of APIs to write content to a file. In this post I will list and compare the possibilities, showing you the best ways in 2019.

Five best practices that will make you an absolute pro when working with exceptions. Make sure not to make these common mistakes when writing C#.

Get all the details about how to convert a string to int with C#. Learn how to handle exceptions and all of the worst practices that everyone is doing.

tl;dr Use ArrayPool<T> for large arrays to avoid Full GC.

Introduction

.NET’s Garbage Collector (GC) implements many performance optimizations. One of them, the generational model assumes that young objects die quickly, whereas old live longer. This is…

Bones³ is a Voxel Editor for Unity. Supports both in-game and in-editor building. - Wraithaven-UnityTools/Bones3

Memory leaks are sneakily bad creatures. It's easy to ignore them for a very long time, while they slowly destroy the application. With memory leaks, your memory consumption grows, creating GC pressure and performance problems. Finally, the program will just…

Finding, Fixing and learning to Avoid Memory Leaks is an important skill. I'll list 8 best practice techniques used by me and senior .NET developers that advised me for this article.

For game developers and especially mobile developers, both performance and binary size is a constant concern and is something that we need…

Let’s say you have a 3d game and would like to show the player’s progress in a more volumetric way, like inside the game but not from UI.
