See the documentation “Render Debugging - Run Time Using Render debugging”: [link] • When the node animates, add the tween ‘destroySelf’ method to destroy the front nodal point. When the user turns on high-precision lightmap baking, 16-bit colors are used instead of 8-bit colors, and AO channels are baked separately.

How to Use Unity Cinemachine Virtual Cameras

Game Designing

APRIL 21, 2022

Coding camera angles for games and animation has been a pain … Until now. In short, Unity Cinemachine opens up an entirely new world of opportunities for animation, game design and development, and directors working with virtual cameras. This was created by Unity in collaboration with Disney Television Animation.

Improved Inspector sub-resource editing. New vertex formats allow many more custom shaders and cases to take advantage of batching than before, and optional 2D software skinning has been added which should allow using 2D skeletal animation on a far wider range of hardware than was previously available. Editor: Node copy-pasting.

Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. 3D animations have seen an internal overhaul, allowing for compression to reduce memory usage, as well as individual position, rotation, and scale tracks in place of united transforms. SDK to be installed in order to use C#.

No lightmaps or anything of the sort are required, providing a very quick and efficient workflow. For low-end systems or mobile devices, we provide a more classical lightmapping workflow. Improved 3D manipulation gizmos (multiple-axis editing and scale), thanks to the work of Przemysław Gołąb ( n-pigeon ).
