this video: EFFICIENT learning unity by trying: LESS EFFICIENT

My 9 years old son builds short projects in unity. Your channel is very useful & inspirational for him.

An aesthetically pleasing video-based cheat sheet, that doesn’t overload you with details, but does give you a very handy overview… Unity somehow seems less daunting now.

I didn't know this many components existed in unity. I'm still trying to wrap my head around all the basics

Very useful, there are some components I didn't even know existed

You are an absolute legend. I really enjoyed this. I have been using unity for 12 years and I learned a lot. Come of these components, I implemented myself not even knowing that they existed.

Thanks man! this is a good video to learn about other components without doing the hassle of searching all possible solutions, it gave me the solution to my problem lol (how AI could take shortcuts) even though its not explained, i now know what to look for and ill come back if i need to know anything, thanks!

"Why they don't just call it water?" LMAO

Great work dude! This is easily one of the best videos I have seen for unity.

Thanks for the Work! I'm using this to get to know what's available from the start! :D

Thanks for doing the image, and the work.

Really good video! Great job

good to know all of the options we can choose from to learn more in depth. however, minor mistake, the low pass filter cuts out high frequencies not lows, same with high pass filter actually cutting out low frequencies. Ik it's confusing but think of it as the low pass filter letting the low frequencies pass through yk

This great. Thanks for making this!

Super WOW! It worth to subscibe! Respect for your work and knowledge sharing! Thank you.

Mind blown... Never new there were so many components. What a betetr way to learn than on my birthday? 🤯

I am saving this to my favourites!

Great one mate

This video is so good . Got to know every component that exists in unity. Can u please make videos describing each component and their options???🥺🥺🥺

This is God Work. Thanks man! :)

love the "pretty cool" lol

Solid video!

really awesome video.

reverb voice : " epic " this is very informative. Thanks dude.

Underrated video...

Lmao actually banger video, funny and informative!!

Great video *PRETTY COOL*

Best Unity video Ever 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Thankyou

Thank you so much!!!

you explain all of these but I can't imagine them in my head, I wished I could be able to see each one by an example of actual output, that could be so great.

Definitely helpful

Button - click click click! That was the best component explanation

Thank you 😊

thank you, very useful, i like madness, do that full explain, i want a 10 hour course, do it!

Could you do a video by with the tools of the Unity? like new input system, ui builder, dots, cinemachine, sprite editor, multiplayer... It is good to have a video like this to summarize all the stuff Unity have!

Thank you !

your explain is beautiful

this is awesome

Thanks this could be helpful

Thank you.

thank you sir

amazing. please make one by one property explain of frequently used components.

This video: UNDERRATED

this is so cool. I wish I knew that some of them really exist instead of making pointless 20-40 lone of code

awsome

Thanks.

10:56 Lens Flare - Use this if you are J. J. Abrams

It's a crime that this video has only 37,000 views

13:16 LODs are not based on distance to the camera. They are based on the size that their bounds take up on the screen, in percentages, hence the "%" symbols on that bar. If they were based on distance to the camera, whenever you "zoomed in" using a sniper rifle or binoculars, the models would look like dog shit, but with screen percentages they don't.

My favourite unity component is the transform

Now this is how APIs should be like

whats your BGM for this video ? :)

we need an updated one

fuckin THANK YOU

thanks for explaining! maybe you could split the video in chapters? So it would be even better.

can you make the same video but for Unreal Engine 5?

that enough for newbie, I mean "Excellent"

6:18 Literally Almost Every Nintendo Game EVER Had this

Could you share this 'Cheat Sheet' of all components please ? Like pdf or just a picture...🙏

those sound effects tho

This is a really good video but I wish you could choose one component but then go in depth on what each option does with examples.

Terrain collider🎉 thanks Skybox thanks Shadow for sprites thanks Outline for sprites thanks

Efficiënt!

wheres the variables component, cuz i've been trying to find out how to use variables component in code

Areeeeea

Ngl, Unity really needs a 2DCharacterController like it has for 3D. Something not as obtuse as raw dogging Rigidbody Kinematic.

why did they make a component to scale gameobject :D lmao

within cell interlink.

please create auto subtitle for english, it's germany rn :)

It is 18 minutes if you watch it in 1.5x

I love the content, except the random annotations. I found them irritating.

UI

I appreciate the explanations, in theory this is exactly what I was looking for but the loud bass and popup "funnies" are very annoying

The video is great, but these bass effects are soooo lound

Don't worry guys I took notes. Transform Stores position, rotation scale Mesh filter Attach 3d mesh, mesh renderer will render it Mesh renderer Takes mesh from the filter and the transform to put mesh in scene Skinned mesh renderer For animations/ bone. Will make mesh bend and deform. Text mesh 3d geometry mesh for text Textmeshpro More options and controls over text from above Rigidbody Gameobjects will react to physical forces with this component Constant force Fastest way to apply a force to a rigidbody Character controller For 3d players, don’t need rigidbodies, you can up your workload with the character controller Cloth Physically simulates fabric. Needs a mesh to deform, will add skin mesh renderer, expensive. Box collider Collider the shape of a box, can be deformed. Efficient Sphere collider Can only change radius, efficient Capsule collider Efficient Mesh collider The shape of a mesh, set to convex to react to other mesh colliders. More expensive Terrain collider Unity terrain system will require this on the terrain objects/ mesh Wheel collider Wheel physics Fixed Joint Will joints connect 2 objects with physics and can break with enough force. Like parenting an object to another Spring joint More like an elastic connection Hinge Joint Connect with a hinge, good for doors or traps Character joint Useful for rag dolling a character Configurable joint Supports all features of all joints above. Complicated Rigidbody2d Rigidybody only works on x and y planes Constantforce2d Apply force to rigidbody2d Box collider2d It’s a box Circle collider2d It’s a circle Capsule collider2d Good for characters Polygon collider Can make a custom collider, edge must close. Edge collider 2d Define the shape with line segments, does not have to close Composite collider 2d Collider with no shape, instead it merges box and polygon colliders in a group to a new shape. Use a checkbox on other colliders Buoyancy effector Needs a collider, can direct forces of colliders that come in contact with each other. Make objects float Area effector 2d Used to raise trigger colliders mostly Surface effector 2d Applies force tangent to colliders surface, like a conveyer belt Point effector 2d Can attract or repulse game objects, used with trigger collider Platform effector 2d Can be used to make character jump up from the bottom, but not fall past the floor in a platformer. One way collider Fixed joint 2d Can be broken with force Spring joint 2d Friction joint 2d Reduces linear and angular velocities between rigid bodies to zero. Distance joint 2d Spring joint but the distance is always constant between 2 objects Target joint 2d Does not need rigidbody, can connect to any target/ good for drag and drop, or handing a gameobject with the mouse cursor. Hinge joint 2d Hinge, can rotate like one Wheel joint 2d Good for 2d vehicles Relative joint2d Can make 2 objects hold a specific distance and angle from each other. Motor based, useful for making things follow along as and object moves Slider joint 2d. This joint makes a rigidbody slide freely along a line Navigation mesh agent Pathfinding, place on objects so they can find their way. Can avoid other agents. Not ai, pretty stupid Nav mesh obstacle Baking a nav mesh is static and expensive. If moving obstacles nav mesh can understand, add this. Off mesh link Nav mesh can find the shortest path by keeping their feet on the groud. This link can help them jump over objects. Audio source Speaker, can play sound and spacial 3d Audio listener Microphone of the game, this transmits sound to player Audio reverb zone When the listener enters this zone, reverb is applied. Audio reverb filter Filters instead of zone. Always applied Audio low pass filter Cuts low frequency waves. Makes audio sounds like its coming from an old speaker or radio Audio high pass filter Filters high frequency sounds Audio echo filter Echos Audio distortion filter Makes sounds appear worse Audio chorus filter Takes a sound, duplicates it from multiple sources Fun tip, audio orders matter Low pass, echo chorus is not the same as chorus echo low pass. Visual effects Like a particle system but with more options, works with visual effect graph installed Trail renderer Creates trail behind moving object Line renderer Render custom line, need 2 points Projector Project material onto surface. Lens flare Manually create lens flare. Put flare layer on camera. Takes a flare asset, needs texture. Halo Adds cheap bloom effect around a light source Camera What is used to show gameplay Light Many varieties, add light sources to a game Light probe group can bake light information. Can be more efficient in some areas. Light probe proxy volume Probes are good for smaller objects like boxes or characters, large objects may need a light probe proxy volume. Reflection probe Expensive accurate reflections Occlusion area This will increase precision of occlusion culling in an area Occlusion portal It's a portal. Closed will hide objects behind, open will render them. Place behind doors or hidden areas. LOD Group Level of detail, can cull objects or fade into different versions based on distance Canvas renderer No properties, needed to render ui objects Sprite renderer Renders a sprite Sorting group Can group sprite renderers together Skybox Allows control over the sky, useful for many cameras in a scene. Can override skybox camera settings Flare layer Needed on the camera to see lens flares Steaming controller Manages textures in memory, by default unity computes mipmap streaming for all cameras. Deactivate it manually and use this to control how to tune texture loading Tilemap Used to create 2d levels. Can work with top down, isometric, hex tiles. Tilemap renderer renders the tilemap Tilemap collider 2d Can cover a tilemap in proper colliders Event system Manages selected gameobjects, input modes, raycasting. Added automatically when creating ui Event trigger Catch events and call functions Physics raycaster Needs camera, will shoot raycasts. Can send messages to target objects with I event system handler. Physics 2d raycaster Same as above, for 2d Graphic raycaster Used for graphic ui elements Standalone input module To support mouse keyboard and controller input, best for ui elements. Touch input module Deprecated Text Display text on canvas Textmeshpro text More options than above Input field For getting user text Textmeshpro input field The same but better options Dropdown List of options for player input Textmeshpro -Dropdown Cooler fonts Slider Move handle between 2 values Scroll bar It scrolls . Can change color Scroll rect Needed to make a larger component scrollable with a bar Button click click Selectable Buttons and other components already have these Toggle On off switch, checkbox Group toggle Group the above Image Add a sprite to ui Raw image Add a 2d texture to ui, used to display 2nd camera as minimap Shadow Add shadows to ui element Outline Add outline to ui element Rect mask 2d Can mask ui element Mask Will show mask graphics Position as UV1 Saves a position of the canvas as UV data. Can be used for shaders Rect transform All ui elements are changed from transform to rect transform Canvas Can have many canvases, this is where ui elements go to live Canvas group Handy to modify properties like alpha on all children Canvas scaler Manages how the canvas scales. Important to support many resolutions Vertical layout group Automatically organize child elements vertically Horizontal layout group Automatically organize child elements horizontally Grid layout group Same as above but elements are sorted into grid instead Layered element Placed on child elements to override default values Content size fitter Tries to fit content by resizing rect transform automatically. Can constrain fit. Aspect ratio filter Resizes rect transform by considering the given aspect ration Playable director For playing playable assets like timelines Video player Can play a video Animator One and all mighty component to animate sprites and gameobjects. Uses unity mekanim system Animation Legacy system, less options. Lighter expense to perform specific short animation Terrain Renders a terrain, used automatically when creating terrain gameobjects Volume Specific to URP, defines volume to apply post processing Billboard renderer Displays simpler versions of complicated assets at a distance Sprite shape renderer Renders geometry of a sprite. Sprite mask Mask specific for sprite renderers. Grid Used to define a grid to create a map or objects and attach them to. Position constraint Moves a gameobject to follow the source gameobject Rotation constraint Rotates a gameobject to match the source gameobject Scale constraint Scales an object to match a source Parent constraint Parent objects together without having to have them parented in the hierarchy Aim constraint Makes a gameobject face another, keeps one axis fixed Look at constraint Similar to above, fixes all axis Particle system forcefield Forcefield which can combine with particle system for more control. Wind zone Used to realistically animate trees in a terrain system. Can effect other particles. Articulation body Type of joint for more realistic physics for industrial robots and stuff

Just an honest opinion.. that sound was rather annoying. i muted it so i could use subtitles, but the subtitles translation did not work to English :/

What's up wit "EFFICIENT" "LESS EFFICIENT" and "EXPENSIVE" etc.? It is so distracting. Everytime it pops up, it cuts my train of thought, attempting to comprehend each component.

You could have used examples by actually using them

Thank you wholesome funny man
