Fixed Byte Platform iPad screen display is not complete. Fixed Labelchar mode color anomaly on native platforms. 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. Still, the disadvantage is that it will increase the lightmap package.

The 'server' platform is back as it was in Godot 2.1. A button has been added to the debugger to copy the error messages, useful for pasting them in bug reports or other community platforms. The lightmap baker will now use all available cores on Windows like it does on macOS and Linux. Now back to waiting for 3.0.2!

How to Use Unity Cinemachine Virtual Cameras

Game Designing

APRIL 21, 2022

Before Unity Cinemachine, camera movement needed to be directly keyframed or, using code, had to be carefully scripted. When using Cinemachine, you don’t need to know how to write code, though coding is still essential for some components, such as scripting how a user zooms using a mouse wheel, for example. What Is Unity Cinemachine?
