Fix a handful of regressions from some of the bigger input and animation changes merged for beta 15. Those typically shouldn’t add instability to the engine, but may require doing some changes in your scripts, scenes, and shaders if you were using the affected APIs. Audio: Disable OGG and MP3 looping by default on import ( GH-71858 ).

Maya is also more effective for animations. This is also a stage where you should not rush in order to get a perfect mesh flow. I used a Blinn Shader on the asset to spot any issues with the mesh. Blinn Shader helped me see highlights produced due to light shining off the surface at low angles.

Batching means to combine mesh objects that share the same material or that are marked as static in the Unity inspector. In my case I had terrible FPS with just some thousand mesh instances.

We created 4 UV sets of each car and wrote a shader that swaps them. What’s more, it’s easy to imitate movement by creating a simple animation, as we did in the booster’s model. To solve the problem we rearranged the mesh and added some edge loops along track parts. Creating animations for animals wasn’t an easy part.
