#UnityTips 1:

🎨 Pixel Art can look weird in Unity if you don’t import it correctly. Here are some settings you can change to make your pixel art look better 🧵

@samyam_youtube Image When importing pixel art, make sure to pay attention to the resolution of your art.

Ideally, the size should be base 2, for example, 16x16,32x32,64x64,128x128, however, it is not necessary. Make sure it is a PNG with a transparent background. Tiles by @KenneyNL. (1/8) Image

I wanted to finish this Takeover with something I get asked a lot: how do I set up my characters in Unity? So here is how to create, rig and animate simple characters all in Unity! I threw together a cute robot for this occasion 🤖

#UnityTips @AlexStrook It’s easy to create simple characters with basic primitives. Probuilder is useful too! For this character I used 4 models that I duplicated, scaled, rotated around to create this cute robot. It helps to think about animation at this step!

In case you didn’t know, there’s a very fun way to get more bang for your buck when using particle systems and custom shaders: custom vertex streams!

Let’s take a look at what these are, and how we can use them for more advanced particle effects! 🧵

@HarryAlisavakis #unitytips @HarryAlisavakis As you already know, rendered models in Unity are made with triangles which consist of vertices. And vertices hold all essential information regarding these models, like their individual position, their UV coordinates or their vertex color!

We’re trying something different for this week’s #unitytips Tuesday! In this thread, the design team gives you some insight into the process behind a great Unity 2019.1 addition, Shortcut Manager. It all starts with an idea - and this one was about making hotkeys more accessible. How can we make it easier to assign, manage, debug, and understand all your hotkeys in Unity?
