Objective: Use the Reverting and Resetting options to place our project’s branches back to a particular time. There might come a time where we might make a mistake in our project or have bugs that might keep the project from working correctly. Instead of resetting our project back to when…

Objective: Create 2 new branches that will be used in development. Also, take these 2 branches and merge their updated files with each other as well as with the Main branch. Last, push the 2 developer branches with the Main branch updates into the GitHub remote repository. We have the…

Objective: A quick crash course in using GIT. We will use GITHUB to create a repository, and GIT BASH to add changes in our Unity scene to the repository by pushing them onto our GITHUB server. When working on projects that multiple people will need to collaborate with each other…

Objective: To create a Mask Map to add enhanced HDRP effects to the game objects in the scene. Also, we will modify the material’s settings to improve the look of the objects. Mask Maps uses channel-packed Textures to store multiple Material maps in a single Texture according to Unity. Channel…

Objective: Install HDRP onto the previous Control Room URP scene. Also, update the materials of the game objects under the HDRP settings back to their original appearance with slight modifications. We’re going to use HDRP on our Control Room URP scene by creating a New Project using the 3D Sample…

Objective: Adding a Reflection Probe to the Control Room to give additional effects on objects that have reflective materials. A Reflection Probe is like a camera that captures a spherical view of its surroundings in all directions. The captured image is stored as a Cubemap that can be used by…

Objective: Adding premade Fog particles to the test tubes for additional effects. We want to add a mist-like effect to the bottom of our test tubes in the Control Room. One way of creating this mist effect is to use the Unity Particle system (GameObject->Effects->Particle System). The other way we…

Objective: Use Occlusion Culling on the Control Room to improve runtime performance for the CPU or GPU. This ideal for smaller rooms with hallways or corridors that the player will be entering into or exiting from. Unity describes Occlusion Culling is a process which prevents Unity from performing rendering calculations…

Objective: Create 2 local Box Volumes with colliders to activate Post Processing effects. Using these Box Volumes, we will create 2 different effects in the room with one side appearing hot and the other side appearing cold. There is another way of using Post Processing effects in our scene, but…
