- [‘Wait, I’ve changed my mind’ – State Machine Transition interruptions](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/state-machine-transition-interruptions): So let’s dive into some intricate details of State Machine Transitions and interruptions! By default in the animation system, transitions cannot be interrupted: once you start going from one state to the other, there’s no way out. Like a passenger on a transatlantic flight, you’re cozily nestled in your seat until you reach your destination and you can’t change your mind. For most users, this is fine. But if you need more control over transitions, Mecanim can be configured in a variety of ways to meet your needs. If you’re unhappy with your current destination, you can hop in the pilot’s seat and can change plans midway through your flight. This means more responsive animations, but also many opportunities to get lost in the complexity.   So let’s walk through a few examples to sort that out. We can begin with a fairly simple state machine with four states, labeled A to D, and triggers hooked to every transition on the state machine.

Turning on a single module will not only add to that module’s overhead, but may increase the overall systems impact due to switching from procedural to non-procedural mode. Changing values via script will prevent culling. Using custom culling can provide a performance benefit, but only you the developer can decide if and when it is appropriate. Take into consideration the type of effect, if the player may notice it isn’t animating when invisible, and if it is possible to predict the area it will affect?

- [2018.1 is now available](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/2018-1-now-available): Unity 2018.1 marks the start of a new cycle that introduces a major upgrade to our core technology, which gives artists, developers and engineers the power to express their talents and collaborate more efficiently to make their AAA dreams a reality. Let’s start with a few of the highlights, and then you can dig into the details of all the features. The first two highlights described below, the Scriptable Render Pipeline and the C# Job System, represent the first versions of two major features, which will continue to evolve to help you unlock beautiful graphics and increase the runtime performance of Unity. While you go through the list of new features, you can download Unity 2018.1 here. Scriptable Render Pipeline (SRP) Available in Preview with Unity 2018.1, the new Scriptable Render Pipeline (SRP) places the power of modern hardware and GPUs directly into the hands of developers and technical artists, without having to digest millions of lines of C++ engine code. SRP makes it easy to customize the rendering pipeline via C# code and material shaders, giving you maximum control without all the complexity and challenges of writing or modifying a complete C++ rendering pipeline. We are also introducing two out-of-the-box render pipelines to fit your needs. The High-Definition Render Pipeline (HD RP) is for developers with AAA aspirations, and the Lightweight Render Pipeline (LW RP) is for those looking for a combination of beauty and speed, and it also optimizes the battery life for mobile devices and similar platforms. The C# Job System &  Entity Component System (ECS) Combined with a new programming model (Entity Component System), the new runtime system enables you to take full advantage of multicore processors without the programming headache. You can use that extra horsepower, for example, to add more effects and complexity to your games or to add AI that makes your creations richer and more immersive. Level design and shaders Unity 2017.x introduced new features that help teams of artists, designers and developers build experiences together. We added powerful visual tools like Timeline, Cinemachine and a new FBX Exporter, which enables smooth round-tripping with Digital Content Creation tools like 3ds Max and Maya. With Unity 2018.1, we are continuing our efforts to help artists, designers and developers collaborate more efficiently by making it possible to create levels, cinematic content, and gameplay sequences without coding. For example, new tools like ProBuilder/Polybrush and the new visual Shader Graph offer intuitive ways to design levels and create shaders without programming skills. Packages Unity 2017.2 introduced the Package Manager, an underlying core modular system and API that enables dynamic loading and updating of new Unity features in your projects. Unity 2018.1 builds on that with the newly released Package Manager User Interface, the Hub and Project Templates, all of which help you get new projects started faster and more efficiently. Several of the features are available in packages. The idea is to make Unity more modular so that it’s easier for us to release features on an ongoing basis. We use the "Preview" label for these new features to indicate that they are not recommended for production nor fully supported just yet. Previews offer you an opportunity to update, modify and experiment with features at an early stage as a separate modularized package, which you may want to use at a later time in productions.
- [2018.2 is now available](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/2018-2-now-available): Unity 2018.1 marked the start of a new cycle with two major innovations at the core. Together, the Scriptable Render Pipeline (SRP) and Shader Graph give artists and developers more power, while the C# Job System, Burst Compiler and ECS make it possible to take advantage of multi-core processors without the programming headache. Unity 2018.2 builds on these innovations and adds several new features. This post provides an overview of the most important updates in 2018.2. While you go through the list of new features, you can download Unity 2018.2 here or via the Unity Hub. One of the goals for Unity 2018.2 has been to build on the Scriptable Render Pipelines (SRPs) in order to enable next-level rendering. Another focus area has been to develop a range of features and improvements that will help you succeed in mobile. Let’s take a brief look at what we’ve done in these two areas before going into more detail on the entire release. Unity 2018.2 optimizes the performance of the Lightweight Render Pipeline (LWRP) and enhances the High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) to help you achieve high-end visual quality, including multiple improvements to the Shader Graph, which now supports both pipelines (please note that both the LWRP and HDRP are currently in preview.) We also added support for managed code debugging on iOS and Android,  Windows, macOS, Nintendo Switch, UWP and PS4 for IL2CPP, and we started adding some mobile optimizations to the Lightweight Render Pipeline (LWRP). For Android projects, 64-bit (ARM64) support gets its final release, and we now let you add Java code to your Unity plugins folder without needing to create libraries in advance. Finally, several new 2D features are available as Preview packages, including the Vector Graphics importer and Pixel Perfect. The Vector Graphics importer makes it easier for you to work with SVG graphics, and Pixel Perfect makes it easier for you to achieve a perfect retro look across different resolutions on a wide range of devices. To get an overview of all the improvements in this release, read on.
- [2018.3 terrain update: Getting started](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/2018-3-terrain-update): We now have a team dedicated to terrain, and our initial efforts will soon be publicly available!

Using Tilemaps, you can quickly layout and create 2D levels using a combination of Sprites and GameObjects, and have control over properties such as layer ordering, tilemap colliders, animated tiles and more! In this blogpost, I will explain the full workflow beginning at importing your image file into Unity all the way through to a laid out level for a 2D Platformer! As a TL;DR overview; the workflow can be summarised like this, with each element relating to an Asset or a Component in the Unity Editor: Sprite -> Tile -> Palette -> Brush -> Tilemap From a Non-Unity point of view, these terms could seem a little abstract. Just imagine the process for a real-life painting on a real-life canvas: Color -> Paint -> Tile Palette -> Paint Brush -> Canvas There is similar logic to each step of the process and even similar names for each step! For this post, I will use this ‘GrassPlatform_TileSet’ Image as the main example:

- [A primer on repeatable random numbers](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/primer-on-repeatable-random-numbers): In this article we'll use level/world generation in games as example use cases, but the lessons are applicable to many other things, such as procedural textures, models, music, etc. They are however not meant for applications with very strict requirements, such as cryptography. Why would you want to repeat the same result more than once? Ability to revisit the same level/world. For example a certain level/world can be created from a specific seed. If the same seed is used again, you will get the same level/world again. You can for example do this in Minecraft. Persistent world that's generated on the fly. If you have a world that's generated on the fly as the player moves around in it, you may want locations to remain the same the first and subsequent times the player visit those locations (like in Minecraft, the upcoming game No Man's Sky, and others), rather than being different each time as if driven by dream logic. Same world for everyone. Maybe you want your game world to be the same for everyone who play it, exactly as if it wasn't procedurally generated. This is for example the case in No Man's Sky. This is essentially the same as the ability to revisit the same level/world mentioned above, except that the same seed is always used. We've mentioned the word seed a few times. A seed can be a number, text string, or other data that's used as input in order to get a random output. The defining trait for a seed is that the same seed will always produce the same output, but even the slightest change in the seed can produce a completely different output. In this article we'll look into two different ways to produce random numbers - random number generators and random hash functions - and reasons for using one or the other. The things I know about this are hard earned and don't seem to be readily available elsewhere, so I thought it would be in order to write it down and share it.
- [A vote for a bug](https://unity.com/blog/news/a-vote-for-a-bug): Due to popular demand, we have decided to open our bug database to the public. Take a look at the issue tracker and vote on the bugs that are most important to you here. We want to enable you to search our known bugs easily, so you can identify problems in your games and find workarounds faster. As a user, you can also comment on bugs, vote on bugs that are important to you, suggest workarounds you found or add information. We will use this information in our ongoing prioritization of bugs, so you can have a very real impact on the future of Unity. When you have logged in with your Unity Developer Network account, you will have 10 votes you can place on active bugs. If a bug is resolved or in other ways removed, the vote is returned to you. You can always see a list of your own votes on the site. Privacy has been a huge concern for us, so ANY bug which reveals ANY information about the submitter will NOT be made public. It is a manual task for QA to mark bugs public and the default is that a bug is NOT public. Likewise, we are not sharing projects, logs, attachments or communication on any bug even though it might help others. We simply can't risk any privacy to be invaded. The bugs you will see on the site are all confirmed internally in Unity. They are reproducible and acknowledged. If you have sent a report to us, it will not be visible before we have processed it, so it may not even become public, depending on how we decide to handle it. The fields we use are set specifically by us, so no part of what you write will be public without editing and your email address is nowhere on the site. We are very excited about opening up this new way to communicate with you. We hope it will result in an even tighter and more relevant prioritization of bugs. Enjoy, and use your voting power!

- [Achieve better Scene workflow with ScriptableObjects](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/achieve-better-scene-workflow-with-scriptableobjects): Managing multiple Scenes in Unity can be a challenge, and improving this workflow is crucial for both the performance of your game and the productivity of your team. Here, we share some tips for setting up your Scene workflows in ways that scale for bigger projects.  Most games involve multiple levels, and levels often contain more than one Scene. In games where Scenes are relatively small, you can break them into different sections using Prefabs. However, to enable or instantiate them during the game you need to reference all these Prefabs. That means that as your game gets bigger and as those references take up more space in memory, it becomes more efficient to use Scenes. You can break down your levels into one or multiple Unity Scenes. Finding the optimal way to manage them all becomes key. You can open multiple Scenes in the Editor and at runtime using Multi-Scene editing. Splitting levels into multiple Scenes also has the advantage of making teamwork easier as it avoids merge conflicts in collaboration tools such as Git, SVN, Unity Collaborate and the like.

- [An introduction to IL2CPP internals](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/an-introduction-to-ilcpp-internals): Almost a year ago now, we started to talk about the future of scripting in Unity. The new IL2CPP scripting backend promised to bring a highly-performant, highly-portable virtual machine to Unity. In January, we shipped our first platform using IL2CPP, iOS 64-bit. The Unity 5 release brought another platform, WebGL. Thanks to the input from our tremendous community of users, we have shipped many patch release updates for IL2CPP, steadily improving its compiler and runtime. We have no plans to stop improving IL2CPP, but we thought it might be a good idea to take a step back and tell you a little bit about how IL2CPP works from the inside out. Over the next few months, we’re planning to write about the following topics (and maybe others) in this IL2CPP Internals series of posts: The basics - toolchain and command line arguments (this post) A tour of generated code Debugging tips for generated code Method calls (normal methods, virtual methods, etc.) Generic sharing implementation P/invoke wrappers for types and methods Garbage collection integration Testing frameworks and usage In order to make this series of posts possible, we’re going to discuss some details about the IL2CPP implementation that will surely change in the future. Hopefully we can still provide some useful and interesting information. What is IL2CPP? The technology that we refer to as IL2CPP has two distinct parts. An ahead-of-time (AOT) compiler A runtime library to support the virtual machine The AOT compiler translates Intermediate Language (IL), the low-level output from .NET compilers, to C++ source code. The runtime library provides services and abstractions like a garbage collector, platform-independent access to threads and files, and implementations of internal calls (native code which modifies managed data structures directly). The AOT compiler The IL2CPP AOT compiler is named il2cpp.exe. On Windows you can find it in the Editor\Data\il2cpp directory. On OSX it is in the Contents/Frameworks/il2cpp/build directory in the Unity installation. The il2cpp.exe utility is a managed executable, written entirely in C#. We compile it with both .NET and Mono compilers during our development of IL2CPP. The il2cpp.exe utility accepts managed assemblies compiled with the Mono compiler that ships with Unity and generates C++ code which we pass on to a platform-specific C++ compiler. You can think about the IL2CPP toolchain like this:

- [Animation C# Jobs](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/animation-c-jobs): In Unity 2018.2, the Animation C# Jobs feature extends the animation Playables with the C# Job System released with 2018.1. It gives you the freedom to create original solutions when implementing your animation system, and improve performance with safe multithreaded code at the same time. Animation C# Jobs is a low-level API that requires a solid understanding of the Playable API. It’s therefore aimed at developers who are interested in extending the Unity animation system beyond its out-of-the-box capabilities. If that sounds like you, read on to find out when is it a good idea to use it and how to get the most out of it! With Animation C# Jobs, you can write C# code that will be invoked at user-defined places in the PlayableGraph, and thanks to the C# Job System, the users can harness the power of modern multicore hardware. For projects which see a significant cost in C# scripts on the main thread, some of the animation tasks can be parallelized. This unlocks valuable performance gains. The user made C# scripts can modify the animation stream that flows through the PlayableGraph.

With the addition of this capability, AR Foundation developers can now deliver experiences that blend digital content with the physical world more realistically than ever before. With its extensive feature set and vast reach, Google’s ARCore is one of the most popular and powerful SDKs available to developers of augmented reality (AR) experiences. We have been working closely with Google to ensure Unity users have swift access to newly released ARCore features. The release of the ARCore Depth API is a significant milestone as it enables enhanced understanding of physical surroundings as well as more realistic visuals in AR Foundation-based experiences.  ARCore can take advantage of multiple types of sensors to generate depth images. On phones with only RGB cameras, ARCore employs depth-from-motion algorithms that compare successive camera images as the phone moves to estimate the distance to every pixel. This method allows for depth data to be available on hundreds of millions of Android phones. And on devices that include a Time of Flight camera, the depth data is even more precise. AR Foundation now includes the following new features: Automatic occlusion Access to depth images

Today, we focus on photogrammetry assets, trees and VFX. This is the fourth blog in the series, take a look back at the last two blogs that go through creating characters and concept art from “Book of the Dead”. Hello, my name is Zdravko Pavlov and I am a CG and VFX artist with background in VFX, video compositing, editing, graphic design. I’ve been working with Unity’s Demo team since 2014 and contributed various particles, rigid body dynamics and cloth simulations on the demos  “Viking village”, “The Blacksmith” and “Adam”. The “Book Of The Dead” demo was a little bit different. A completely new territory for me, since my role for this project would be to create various environment assets using a photogrammetry approach. Outdoor photography is my hobby, so I was more than happy to handle such a task. Creating trees? I mean, how hard can it be, right? In the following blog post I’ll try to describe everything that I learned during the pre-production and development phase of the project.

In case you missed it take a look back at the last three posts that go through the creative process for characters, concept art and photogrammetry assets, trees, and VFX within Book of the Dead. Hi! My name is Julien Heijmans, I work as an Environment Artist as part of the Unity Demo team. I only joined Unity last year, but I have around 7 years of experience in the video game industry. This blog post will provide you some insight into the production of Book of the Dead from my perspective, the perspective of a content creator and an environment artist. I am kind of new in the work of photogrammetry assets, but I remember clearly the day Quixel announced the creation of Megascans several years ago. Ever since, I’ve been eager to get an opportunity to work with their assets. Joining Unity’s Demo team made that happen, as I started to work on The Book of the Dead.

- [Custom == operator, should we keep it?](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/custom-operator-should-we-keep-it): When you do this in Unity: if (myGameObject == null) {} Unity does something special with the == operator. Instead of what most people would expect, we have a special implementation of the == operator. This serves two purposes: 1) When a MonoBehaviour has fields, in the editor only[1], we do not set those fields to "real null", but to a "fake null" object. Our custom == operator is able to check if something is one of these fake null objects, and behaves accordingly. While this is an exotic setup, it allows us to store information in the fake null object that gives you more contextual information when you invoke a method on it, or when you ask the object for a property. Without this trick, you would only get a NullReferenceException, a stack trace, but you would have no idea which GameObject had the MonoBehaviour that had the field that was null. With this trick, we can highlight the GameObject in the inspector, and can also give you more direction: "looks like you are accessing a non initialised field in this MonoBehaviour over here, use the inspector to make the field point to something". purpose two is a little bit more complicated. 2) When you get a c# object of type "GameObject"[2], it contains almost nothing. this is because Unity is a C/C++ engine. All the actual information about this GameObject (its name, the list of components it has, its HideFlags, etc) lives in the c++ side. The only thing that the c# object has is a pointer to the native object. We call these c# objects "wrapper objects". The lifetime of these c++ objects like GameObject and everything else that derives from UnityEngine.Object is explicitly managed. These objects get destroyed when you load a new scene. Or when you call Object.Destroy(myObject); on them. Lifetime of c# objects gets managed the c# way, with a garbage collector. This means that it's possible to have a c# wrapper object that still exists, that wraps a c++ object that has already been destroyed. If you compare this object to null, our custom == operator will return "true" in this case, even though the actual c# variable is in reality not really null. While these two use cases are pretty reasonable, the custom null check also comes with a bunch of downsides. It is counterintuitive. Comparing two UnityEngine.Objects to eachother or to null is slower than you'd expect. The custom ==operator is not thread safe, so you cannot compare objects off the main thread. (this one we could fix). It behaves inconsistently with the ?? operator, which also does a null check, but that one does a pure c# null check, and cannot be bypassed to call our custom null check. Going over all these upsides and downsides, if we were building our API from scratch, we would have chosen not to do a custom null check, but instead have a myObject.destroyed property you can use to check if the object is dead or not, and just live with the fact that we can no longer give better error messages in case you do invoke a function on a field that is null. What we're considering is wether or not we should change this. Which is a step in our never ending quest to find the right balance between "fix and cleanup old things" and "do not break old projects". In this case we're wondering what you think. For Unity5 we have been working on the ability for Unity to automatically update your scripts (more on this in a subsequent blogpost). Unfortunately, we would be unable to automatically upgrade your scripts for this case. (because we cannot distinguish between "this is an old script that actually wants the old behaviour", and "this is a new script that actually wants the new behaviour"). We're leaning towards "remove the custom == operator", but are hesitant, because it would change the meaning of all the null checks your projects currently do. And for cases where the object is not "really null" but a destroyed object, a nullcheck used to return true, and will if we change this it will return false. If you wanted to check if your variable was pointing to a destroyed object, you'd need to change the code to check "if (myObject.destroyed) {}" instead. We're a bit nervous about that, as if you haven't read this blogpost, and most likely if you have, it's very easy to not realise this changed behaviour, especially since most people do not realise that this custom null check exists at all.[3] If we change it, we should do it for Unity5 though, as the threshold for how much upgrade pain we're willing to have users deal with is even lower for non major releases. What would you prefer us to do? give you a cleaner experience, at the expense of you having to change null checks in your project, or keep things the way they are? Bye, Lucas (@lucasmeijer) [1] We do this in the editor only. This is why when you call GetComponent() to query for a component that doesn't exist, that you see a C# memory allocation happening, because we are generating this custom warning string inside the newly allocated fake null object. This memory allocation does not happen in built games. This is a very good example why if you are profiling your game, you should always profile the actual standalone player or mobile player, and not profile the editor, since we do a lot of extra security / safety / usage checks in the editor to make your life easier, at the expense of some performance. When profiling for performance and memory allocations, never profile the editor, always profile the built game. [2] This is true not only for GameObject, but everything that derives from UnityEngine.Object [3] Fun story: I ran into this while optimising GetComponent<T>() performance, and while implementing some caching for the transform component I wasn't seeing any performance benefits. Then @jonasechterhoff looked at the problem, and came to the same conclusion. The caching code looks like this: private Transform m_CachedTransform public Transform transform { get { if (m_CachedTransform == null) m_CachedTransform = InternalGetTransform(); return m_CachedTransform; } }Turns out two of our own engineers missed that the null check was more expensive than expected, and was the cause of not seeing any speed benefit from the caching. This led to the "well if even we missed it, how many of our users will miss it?", which results in this blogpost :)

QA verified the bug and assigned it to me for fixing. The project was quite big (although far from the largest ones); it took 40 minutes to build on my machine. The instructions on the bug report said: “Play the game for 5-10 minutes until it crashes”. Sure enough, after following instructions, I observed a crash. I fired up WinDbg ready to nail it down. Unfortunately, the stack trace was bogus: 0:049> k # Child-SP RetAddr Call Site 00 00000022`e25feb10 00000000`00000010 0x00007ffa`00000102 0:050> u 0x00007ffa`00000102 L10 00007ffa`00000102 ?? ??? ^ Memory access error in 'u 0x00007ffa`00000102 l10' Clearly, it tried executing an invalid memory address. Although the stacktrace had been corrupted, I was hoping that only a part of the whole stack got corrupted and that I should be able to reconstruct it if I look at memory contents past the stack pointer register. Surely enough, that gave me an idea where to look next: 0:049> dps @rsp L200 ............... 00000022`e25febd8 00007ffa`b1fdc65c ucrtbased!heap_alloc_dbg+0x1c

Its responsibility is tell other threads when their sockets are ready to send or receive data. It goes like this: there’s a FIFO queue that socket poll requests get put in by other threads, the socket polling thread then dequeues these requests one by one, calls select() function and when select() returns a result, it queues a callback that was in the original request to the thread pool. So somebody is corrupting the stack badly. In order to narrow the search, I decided to put “stack sentinels” on most stack frames in that thread. Here’s how my stack sentinel was defined:

- [Enhancing mobile performance with the Burst compiler](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/enhancing-mobile-performance-with-the-burst-compiler): As part of a recent session at Unite Now, we discussed how technology in the Burst compiler enables developers who are building projects with Unity to take advantage of the Arm Neon instruction set. You can use the Burst compiler when targeting Android devices to improve the performance of Unity projects supported by Arm architecture. Unity and Arm have formed a partnership to enhance the mobile game development experience for the billion-plus Arm-powered mobile devices in the Android ecosystem.  For game developers, performance is paramount. Year after year, Arm invests in improving its CPU and GPU technologies to provide the advances in performance and efficiency needed to build richer experiences. Recently, Arm announced two new products, Cortex-A78, which provides greatly improved power efficiency, and the even more impressive Cortex-X1. These hardware developments are complemented by advances in compiler technology for the Arm architecture. Compilers ensure that when you develop high-performance games, they are translated and optimized into efficient binaries that make the best use of the Arm architecture’s features.
- [Enter Play Mode faster in Unity 2019.3](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/enter-play-mode-faster-in-unity-2019-3): Play Mode is at the core of what makes Unity fun to work with. But as your projects get more complex, it can take a while to get started. The faster you can enter and exit Play Mode, the faster you can make and test changes. That’s why we’re introducing Configurable Enter Play Mode in Unity 2019.3 beta as an experimental feature. Currently, when you enter Play Mode in the Editor, Unity does two things: it resets the scripting states (Domain Reload) and reloads the Scene. This takes time, and the more complex your project gets, the longer you need to wait to test out new changes in Play Mode. Starting with Unity 2019.3 beta, however, you’ll have an option to disable either, or both, of the “Domain Reload” and “Scene Reload” actions. Based on our test results, this can save you up to 50-90% of waiting time, depending on your project.

- [Evolution of our products and pricing](https://unity.com/blog/news/evolution-of-our-products-and-pricing): Firstly, our move to subscription had some of you asking why?! We’ve explained the rationale in the follow-up blog post by Joachim - Subscription! Why?. If you haven’t read it yet, check it out. Secondly, some of you raised major concerns with the new pricing: Some of you have been customers for a long time and have made use of upgrade discounts to your perpetual licenses. Those averaged to a yearly cost that was lower than the new subscription costs. If you develop for desktop only, the new all-platform cost is significantly higher than your old yearly cost. For those of you hit hard by this, we think we've found a good solution. Now, we don't want to go back to the old model of having iOS and Android be paid add-ons, while desktop is included in the base cost. This was always rather arbitrary. Developing and maintaining our desktop platforms is a real cost for us, just like for our mobile platforms, and yet mobile developers have been paying more. Now we're committed to making the price the same regardless of which platforms you target. We hope you understand and are with us in this decision. At the same time, a lot of customers are telling us that the new prices are a very good deal. Some have the privilege to even say it's too cheap, though these people, being happy with the new prices, have not been as vocal in comments and social media. The objective for us is to make everyone as happy as is possible given a rapidly growing global group of developers using Unity for many, many different things. We want paid versions of Unity to be affordable for developers big and small who want to go beyond Unity Personal, or are required to due to the revenue cap. So with this goal in mind we are going to make these changes to what we announced previously: We're making the Unity splash screen in Unity Plus optional, like it is in Unity Pro. We're raising the revenue cap in Unity Plus from $100k to $200k so that more of you are able to take advantage of it. In order to be able to do this, we removed the option to subscribe to Unity Plus without a one-year commitment. We also restricted Pay to Own to only apply to Unity Pro and not Unity Plus (see Pay to Own details further down). We let these things go from Unity Plus in order to be able to introduce the new advantages. We know this is not going to change things for all of you. If your revenue is beyond the $200k cap for Unity Plus, and you are already a Unity user, we're announcing Transition offers below. We hope though that these changes will make Unity a great choice to those of you who might otherwise have had difficulties affording it.

- [Extending Timeline: A practical guide](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/extending-timeline-practical-guide): Unity launched Timeline along with Unity 2017.1 and since then, we have received a lot of feedback about it. After talking with many developers and responding to users on the forums, we realized how many of you want to use Timeline for more than as a simple sequencing tool. I have already delivered a couple of talks about this (for instance, at Unite Austin 2017) and wrote a blog post on how to use Timeline for non-conventional uses. Read this blog post to find out about how Timeline can drive dialogues, support branching, or even connect with the AI systems of your game. Timeline was designed with extensibility as a main goal from the beginning; the team which designed the feature always had in mind that users would want to create their own clips and tracks in addition to the built-in ones. As such, there are a lot of questions about scripting with Timeline. The system on which Timeline is built upon is powerful, but it can be difficult to work with for the non-initiated. But first, what’s Timeline? It is a linear editing tool to sequence different elements: animation clips, music, sound effects, camera shots, particle effects, and even other Timelines. In essence, it is very similar to tools such as Premiere®, After Effects®, or Final Cut®, with the difference that it is engineered for real-time playback. For a more in-depth look at the basics of Timeline, I advise you to visit the Timeline documentation section of the Unity Manual, since I will make extensive use of those concepts.
- [Extending Unity 5 rendering pipeline: Command buffers](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/extending-unity-5-rendering-pipeline-command-buffers): In Unity 5 we've been adding many user-visible graphics features (new Standard shader, realtime global illumination, reflection probes, new lightmapping workflow and so on), but we've also worked on rendering internals. Besides typical things like "optimizing it" (e.g. multithreaded light culling) and "making it more consistent" (e.g. more consistently between Linear & Gamma color spaces), we've also looked at how to make it more extensible. Internally and within the beta testing group we've discussed various approaches. A lot of ideas were thrown around: more script callbacks, assembling small "here's a list of things to do" buffers, ability to create complete rendering pipelines from scratch, some sort of visual tree/graph rendering pipeline construction tools and so on. For Unity 5, we settled on ability to create "list of things to do" buffers, which we dubbed "Command Buffers". A command buffer in graphics is a low-level list of commands to execute. For example, 3D rendering APIs like Direct3D or OpenGL typically end up constructing a command buffer that is then executed by the GPU. Unity's multi-threaded renderer also constructs a command buffer between a calling thread and the "worker thread" that submits commands to the rendering API. In our case the idea is very similar, but the "commands" are somewhat higher level. Instead of containing things like "set internal GPU register X to value Y", the commands are "Draw this mesh with that material" and so on. From your scripts, you can create command buffers and add rendering commands to them (“set render target, draw mesh, …”). Then these command buffers can be set to execute at various points during camera rendering. For example, you could render some additional objects into deferred shading G-buffer after all regular objects are done. Or render some clouds immediately after skybox is drawn, but before anything else. Or render custom lights (volume lights, negative lights etc.) into deferred shading light buffer after all regular lights are done. And so on; we think there are a lot of interesting ways to use them. Take a look at CommandBuffer and CameraEvent pages in the scripting API documentation.

Read this blog post to understand what was going on and how the upcoming version of Unity helps you create slightly smoother gameplay. div.post-full div.content ul li:before { content: "\2022"; font-size: 1em; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0; color: #002835; } div.post-full div.content ul li { font-size: 1.2rem; } div.code { white-space: pre; font-family: consolas, Menlo, Monaco, Lucida Console, Liberation Mono, DejaVu Sans Mono, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Courier New, monospace, serif; font-size: 1em; overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 1em; color:#000000; } div.code br { display:none } span.code { font-family: consolas, Menlo, Monaco, Lucida Console, Liberation Mono, DejaVu Sans Mono, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Courier New, monospace, serif; } Since the dawn of gaming, achieving framerate-independent movement in video games meant taking frame delta time into account: void Update() { transform.position += m_Velocity * Time.deltaTime; } This achieves the desired effect of an object moving at constant average velocity, regardless of the frame rate the game is running at. It should, in theory, also move the object at a steady pace if your frame rate is rock solid. In practice, the picture is quite different. If you looked at actual reported Time.deltaTime values, you might have seen this: 6.854 ms 7.423 ms 6.691 ms 6.707 ms 7.045 ms 7.346 ms 6.513 ms This is an issue that affects many game engines, including Unity – and we’re thankful to our users for bringing it to our attention. Happily, Unity 2020.2 beta begins to address it. So why does this happen? Why, when the frame rate is locked to constant 144 fps, is Time.deltaTime not equal to 1⁄144 seconds (~6.94 ms) every time? In this blog post, I’ll take you on the journey of investigating and ultimately fixing this phenomenon.

At the end of this post you can watch a short video interview with Steffen from Unite Nordic 2013 Hi, I’m Steffen Kabbelgaard. My partner Kenneth and I started BetaDwarf 2 ½ years ago while studying for our master degrees at Aalborg University in Denmark. We had nothing at the time—no money, no experience—but we’re here today with a studio, a successful Kickstarter campaign under our belt, finishing up our first game, Forced.  At Unite Nordic I told our story of starting with nothing and ending up with everything we hoped for, and I thought it could be fun to share what we’ve learned so far with the wider Unity community. We knew what we wanted to do from the start Kenneth and I wanted to found a start-up studio with a team of around 10 people. We wanted to make big, ambitious games. Kenneth dedicated himself to becoming a badass programmer; I focused on becoming a design and business guru. I spent months planning a team structure, what kind of people we needed and what they would do. I also wrote a game bible for our game, which was always changing, but it allowed us to have a detailed fundament. Now, we just needed to find the rest of the team. Then we set out to get exactly who we wanted We were teacher assistants at the time, so we knew who the brightest and best were in our classes. We had to get the right people interested in our idea. We had to motivate them to work hard without an immediate pay-off. We invited some exceptional students to an exclusive meeting. We told them we had chosen them to join our special project, based on their awesome dedication and skill. We shared our vision of making games with them. And we told them that we couldn’t pay them. At the end of that first meeting we already had a team of 9 and it was time to start developing our game.

Creators can now bring a 360 2D or 3D video into Unity and play it back on the Skybox Panoramic Shader to create standalone 360 video experiences targeting VR platforms. Additionally, Unity now offers built-in support for both 180- and 360-degree videos in either an equirectangular layout (longitude and latitude) or a cubemap layout (6 frames). With Unity you can build real-time effects, interactions and UI on top of your videos to achieve a highly immersive and interactive experience. To make this process even easier, we have just released the Interactive 360 Video Sample Project on the Asset Store. It’s a free download and we encourage creators interested in making interactive 360 videos to give it a try. The Sample Project contains scenes, Prefabs, code, and video files that can be used by anyone who wants to learn how to build interactive 360 video experiences for mobile or desktop VR. The project shows you how to use Unity’s UI system and Video Player, and how to get input data from VR controllers. In the project are two ready-to-build scenes for gaze-based interactions, which work with Oculus, OpenVR (Vive), Android (Samsung Gear VR, Google Daydream, Google Cardboard) and iOS (Cardboard). The project also includes sample scenes for Oculus+Touch and Google Daydream controller configurations.

- [Giving game developers a head start](https://unity.com/blog/games/giving-game-developers-a-head-start): Catsoft Studios builds essential game creation tools that shave time off production so you can focus your energy where it counts.  Every game begins with an idea – a world to build, a compelling game mechanic, a feature that players are bound to fall in love with – but it takes a lot of work to bring that idea into fruition. Catsoft Studios creates tools to help make the journey from idea to playable game a lot smoother. Built around the studio’s core product, Game Creator, this hard-working Unity Asset Store publisher has produced a slew of tools, templates, and systems designed to help you bring your ideas closer to reality.  “Game Creator acts as a bridge between game programming and design,” says Marti Nogue Coll, the main force behind Barcelona-based Catsoft Studios, describing the ethos that drives the publisher’s Asset Store offerings.  “I like to think of the game development cycle as a set of layers. When you create your game from scratch, you start from the lowest level and have to make your way up to the top. Unity gives you a tremendous head start,” he explains. “Game Creator aims to push this even further. When you want a character to move to a certain position, you don’t want to deal with direction vectors, acceleration formulas, lerping between animations or obstacle avoidance. You want to move a character from A to B. That’s what Game Creator is all about: making game development more human-friendly.” Game Creator is the base, a core package of common, genre-agnostic systems, including cameras, characters, variables, and a high-level visual scripting solution. Modules add and extend these features with gameplay elements from managing inventory to defining melee fight systems to crafting quests. The Stats module helps you to create intricate RPG attribute systems, while the Dialogue add-on is a system for managing complex branching conversations between characters. Each integrates closely with Game Creator to boost developers’ freedom and productivity, and the visual scripting system can be extended with free custom nodes shared on the Game Creator Hub. The Game Creator ecosystem includes features with appeal for game designers as well as developers – really, Marti claims, his tools are for “anyone with a game idea.”

- [High-performance physics in Unity 5](https://unity.com/blog/technology/high-performance-physics-in-unity-5): We’ve been using PhysX 2.8.3 for a while now. We’ve not just used the plain stock PhysX, but extended it with numerous patches made by Unity engineers over the years. It’s been so long, and we say thanks to PhysX 2 for all the fish. As announced at GDC’14, Unity 5.0 features an upgrade to PhysX 3.3. Let’s give it a closer look. PhysX SDK 3 is a radical redesign of the good old PhysX SDK 2.x. Basically, the PhysX team have taken the best ideas and best approaches from 2.x and rewritten the whole SDK from scratch. That means the entire codebase is different, all the interfaces are different and most of the functionality is different. Now let’s give you a taste of how it feels to use Unity 5.0 physics. To start with something simple, we’ve made the adaptive force switchable and off by default. Adaptive force is a special technique in PhysX to compensate for numerical errors when simulating stacks. However, feedback from Unity developers tells us that adaptive force contributes a lot to overall instability in game content. Expect your stack-like things to behave better in future.

Over the past months we have slowly been refining our suggested workflow and working on a high quality shader to make it happen. Today, we are pleased to announce that we are ready to share our work in the form of a beta shader ready for use in any Unity 5.6 or later project. The concept is simple and straightforward. Take any supported video file (like an .mp4) containing either 360 or 180 equirectangular or cubemap content, import it as an asset, and play it through a Video Player component. The key is to target the Video Player to a Render Texture of the same dimensions as the video. Then, connect that texture to a Material set to use the new Skybox/PanoramicBeta shader and use that as your Scene Skybox Material.

- [IL2CPP internals: A tour of generated code](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/il2cpp-internals-a-tour-of-generated-code): This is the second blog post in the IL2CPP Internals series. In this post, we will investigate the C++ code generated by il2cpp.exe. Along the way, we will see how managed types are represented in native code, take a look at runtime checks used to support the .NET virtual machine, see how loops are generated and more! We will get into some very version-specific code that is certainly going to change in later versions of Unity. Still, the concepts will remain the same. Example project I’ll use the latest version of Unity available, 5.0.1p1, for this example. As in the first post in this series, I’ll start with an empty project and add one script file. This time, it has the following contents:   using UnityEngine; public class HelloWorld : MonoBehaviour { private class Important { public static int ClassIdentifier = 42; public int InstanceIdentifier; } void Start () { Debug.Log("Hello, IL2CPP!"); Debug.LogFormat("Static field: {0}", Important.ClassIdentifier); var importantData = new [] { new Important { InstanceIdentifier = 0 }, new Important { InstanceIdentifier = 1 } }; Debug.LogFormat("First value: {0}", importantData[0].InstanceIdentifier); Debug.LogFormat("Second value: {0}", importantData[1].InstanceIdentifier); try { throw new InvalidOperationException("Don't panic"); } catch (InvalidOperationException e) { Debug.Log(e.Message); } for (var i = 0; i < 3; ++i) { Debug.LogFormat("Loop iteration: {0}", i); } } }  I’ll build this project for WebGL, running the Unity editor on Windows. I’ve selected the Development Player option in the Build Settings, so that we can get relatively nice names in the generated C++ code. I’ve also set the Enable Exceptions option in the WebGL Player Settings to Full. Overview of the generated code After the WebGL build is complete, the generated C++ code is available in the Temp\StagingArea\Data\il2cppOutput directory in my project directory. Once the editor is closed, this directory will be deleted. As long as the editor is open though, this directory will remain unchanged, so we can inspect it. The il2cpp.exe utility generated a number of files, even for this small project. I see 4625 header files  and 89 C++ source code files. To get a handle on all of this code, I like to use a text editor which works with Exuberant CTags. CTags will usually generate a tags file quickly for this code, which makes it easier to navigate. Initially, you can see that many of the generated C++ files are not from the simple script code, but instead are the converted version of the code in the standard libraries, like mscorlib.dll. As mentioned in the first post in this series, the IL2CPP scripting backend uses the same standard library code as the Mono scripting backend. Note that we convert the code in mscorlib.dll and other standard library assemblies each time il2cpp.exe runs. This might seem unnecessary, since that code does not change. However, the IL2CPP scripting backend always uses byte code stripping to decrease the executable size. So even small changes in the script code can cause many different parts of the standard library code to be used or not, depending on the situation. Therefore, we need to convert the mscorlib.dll assembly each time. We are researching better ways to do incremental builds, but we don’t have any good solutions yet. How managed code maps to generated C++ code For each type in the managed code, il2cpp.exe will generate one header file for the C++ definition of the type and another header file for the method declarations for the type. For example, let’s look at the contents of the converted UnityEngine.Vector3 type. The header file for the type is named UnityEngine_UnityEngine_Vector3.h. The name is created based on the name of the assembly, UnityEngine.dll followed by the namespace and name of the type. The code looks like this:   // UnityEngine.Vector3 struct Vector3_t78 { // System.Single UnityEngine.Vector3::x float ___x_1; // System.Single UnityEngine.Vector3::y float ___y_2; // System.Single UnityEngine.Vector3::z float ___z_3; };  The il2cpp.exe utility has converted each of the three instance fields, and done a little bit of name mangling to avoid conflicts and reserved words. By using leading underscores, we are using some reserved names in C++, but so far we’ve not seen any conflicts with C++ standard library code. The UnityEngine_UnityEngine_Vector3MethodDeclarations.h file contains the method declarations for all of the methods in Vector3. For example, Vector3 overrides the Object.ToString method: // System.String UnityEngine.Vector3::ToString() extern "C" String_t* Vector3_ToString_m2315 (Vector3_t78 * __this, MethodInfo* method) IL2CPP_METHOD_ATTRNote the comment, which indicates the managed method this native declaration represents. I often find it useful to search the files in the output for the name of the managed method in this format, especially for methods with common names, like ToString. Notice a few interesting things about all methods converted by il2cpp.exe: These are not member functions in C++. All methods are free functions, where the first argument is the "this" pointer. For static functions in managed code, IL2CPP always passes a value of NULL for this first argument. By always declaring methods with the "this" pointer as the first argument, we simplify the method generation code in il2cpp.exe and we make invoking methods via other methods (like delegates) simpler for generated code. Every method has an additional argument of type MethodInfo* which includes the metadata about the method that is used for things like virtual method invocation. The Mono scripting backend uses platform-specific trampolines to pass this metadata. For IL2CPP, we’ve decided to avoid the use of trampolines to aid in portability. All methods are declared extern “C” so that il2cpp.exe can sometimes lie to the C++ compiler and treat all methods as if they had the same type. Types are named with a “_t” suffix. Methods are named with a “_m” suffix. Naming conflicts are resolved by appended an unique number to each name. These numbers will change if anything in the user script code changes, so you cannot depend on them from build to build. The first two points imply that every method has at least two parameters, the "this" pointer and the MethodInfo pointer. Do these extra parameters cause unnecessary overhead? While they clearly do add overhead, we haven’t seen anything so far which suggests that those extra arguments cause performance problems. Although it may seem that they would, profiling has shown that the difference in performance is not measurable. We can jump to the definition of this ToString method using Ctags. It is in the Bulk_UnityEngine_0.cpp file. The code in that method definition doesn’t look too much like the C# code in the Vector3::ToString() method. However, if you use a tool like ILSpy to reflect the code for the Vector3::ToString() method, you’ll see that the generated C++ code looks very similar to the IL code. Why doesn’t il2cpp.exe generate a separate C++ file for the method definitions for each type, as it does for the method declarations? This Bulk_UnityEngine_0.cpp file is pretty large, 20,481 lines actually! We found the C++ compilers we were using had trouble with a large number of source files. Compiling four thousand .cpp files took much longer than compiling the same source code in 80 .cpp files. So il2cpp.exe batches the methods definitions for types into groups and generates one C++ file per group. Now jump back to the method declarations header file and notice this line near the top of the file:   #include "codegen/il2cpp-codegen.h"  The il2cpp-codegen.h file contains the interface which generated code uses to access the libil2cpp runtime services. We’ll discuss some ways that the runtime is used by generated code later. Method prologues Let’s take a look at the definition of the Vector3::ToString() method. Specifically, it has a common prologue that is emitted in all methods by il2cpp.exe. StackTraceSentry _stackTraceSentry(&Vector3_ToString_m2315_MethodInfo); static bool Vector3_ToString_m2315_init; if (!Vector3_ToString_m2315_init) { ObjectU5BU5D_t4_il2cpp_TypeInfo_var = il2cpp_codegen_class_from_type(&ObjectU5BU5D_t4_0_0_0); Vector3_ToString_m2315_init = true; }  The first line of this prologue creates a local variable of type StackTraceSentry. This variable is used to track the managed call stack, so that IL2CPP can report it in calls like Environment.StackTrace. Code generation of this entry is actually optional, and is enabled in this case by the --enable-stacktrace option passed to il2cpp.exe (since I set Enable Exceptions option in the WebGL Player Settings to Full). For small functions, we found that the overhead of this variable has a negative impact on performance. So for iOS and other platforms where we can use platform-specific stack trace information, we never emit this line into generated code. For WebGL, we don’t have platform-specific stack trace support, so it is necessary to allow managed code exceptions to work properly. The second part of the prologue does lazy initialization of type metadata for any array or generic types used in the method body. So the name ObjectU5BU5D_t4 is the name of the type System.Object[]. This part of the prologue is only executed once and often does nothing if the type was already initialized elsewhere, so we have not seen any adverse performance implications from this generated code. Is this code thread safe though? What if two threads call Vector3::ToString() at the same time? Actually, this code is not problematic, since all of the code in the libil2cpp runtime used for type initialization is safe to call from multiple threads. It is possible (maybe even likely) that il2cpp_codegen_class_from_type function will be called more than once, but the actual work it does will only occur once, on one thread. Method execution won’t continue until that initialization is complete. So this method prologue is thread safe. Runtime checks The next part of the method creates an object array, stores the value of the x field of Vector3 in a local, then boxes the local and adds it to the array at index zero. Here is the generated C++ code (with some annotations): // Create a new single-dimension, zero-based object array ObjectU5BU5D_t4* L_0 = ((ObjectU5BU5D_t4*)SZArrayNew(ObjectU5BU5D_t4_il2cpp_TypeInfo_var, 3)); // Store the Vector3::x field in a local float L_1 = (__this->___x_1); float L_2 = L_1; // Box the float instance, since it is a value type. Object_t * L_3 = Box(InitializedTypeInfo(&Single_t264_il2cpp_TypeInfo), &L_2); // Here are three important runtime checks NullCheck(L_0); IL2CPP_ARRAY_BOUNDS_CHECK(L_0, 0); ArrayElementTypeCheck (L_0, L_3); // Store the boxed value in the array at index 0 *((Object_t **)(Object_t **)SZArrayLdElema(L_0, 0)) = (Object_t *)L_3;The three runtime checks are not present in the IL code, but are instead injected by il2cpp.exe. The NullCheck code will throw a NullReferenceException if the value of the array is null. The IL2CPP_ARRAY_BOUNDS_CHECK code will throw an IndexOutOfRangeException if the array index is not correct. The ArrayElementTypeCheck code will thrown an ArrayTypeMismatchException if the type of the element being added to the array is not correct. These three runtime checks are all guarantees provided by the .NET virtual machine. Rather than injecting code, the Mono scripting backend uses platform specific signaling mechanism to handle these same runtime checks. For IL2CPP, we wanted to be more platform agnostic and support platforms like WebGL, where there is no platform-specific signaling mechanism, so il2cpp.exe injects these checks. Do these runtime checks cause performance problems though? In most cases, we’ve not seen any adverse impact on performance and they provide the benefits and safety which are required by the .NET virtual machine. In a few specific cases though, we are seeing these checks lead to degraded performance, especially in tight loops. We’re working on a way now to allow managed code to be annotated to remove these runtime checks when il2cpp.exe generates C++ code. Stay tuned on this one. Static Fields Now that we’ve seen how instance fields look (in the Vector3 type), let’s see how static fields are converted and accessed. Find the definition of the HelloWorld_Start_m3 method, which is in the Bulk_Assembly-CSharp_0.cpp file in my build. From there, jump to the Important_t1 type (in theAssemblyU2DCSharp_HelloWorld_Important.h file):   struct Important_t1  : public Object_t { // System.Int32 HelloWorld/Important::InstanceIdentifier int32_t ___InstanceIdentifier_1; }; struct Important_t1_StaticFields { // System.Int32 HelloWorld/Important::ClassIdentifier int32_t ___ClassIdentifier_0; };  Notice that il2cpp.exe has generated a separate C++ struct to hold the static field for this type, since the static field is shared between all instances of this type. So at runtime, there will be one instance of the Important_t1_StaticFields type created, and all of the instances of the Important_t1 type will share that instance of the static fields type. In generated code, the static field is accessed like this: int32_t L_1 = (((Important_t1_StaticFields*)InitializedTypeInfo(&Important_t1_il2cpp_TypeInfo)->static_fields)->___ClassIdentifier_0);The type metadata for Important_t1 holds a pointer to the single instance of the Important_t1_StaticFields type, and that instance is used to obtain the value of the static field. Exceptions Managed exceptions are converted by il2cpp.exe to C++ exceptions. We have chosen this path to again avoid platform-specific solutions. When il2cpp.exe needs to emit code to raise a managed exception, it calls the il2cpp_codegen_raise_exception function. The code in our HelloWorld_Start_m3 method to throw and catch a managed exception looks like this:   try { // begin try (depth: 1) InvalidOperationException_t7 * L_17 = (InvalidOperationException_t7 *)il2cpp_codegen_object_new (InitializedTypeInfo(&InvalidOperationException_t7_il2cpp_TypeInfo)); InvalidOperationException__ctor_m8(L_17, (String_t*) &_stringLiteral5, /*hidden argument*/&InvalidOperationException__ctor_m8_MethodInfo); il2cpp_codegen_raise_exception(L_17); // IL_0092: leave IL_00a8 goto IL_00a8; } // end try (depth: 1) catch(Il2CppExceptionWrapper& e) { __exception_local = (Exception_t8 *)e.ex; if(il2cpp_codegen_class_is_assignable_from (&InvalidOperationException_t7_il2cpp_TypeInfo, e.ex->object.klass)) goto IL_0097; throw e; } IL_0097: { // begin catch(System.InvalidOperationException) V_1 = ((InvalidOperationException_t7 *)__exception_local); NullCheck(V_1); String_t* L_18 = (String_t*)VirtFuncInvoker0< String_t* >::Invoke(&Exception_get_Message_m9_MethodInfo, V_1); Debug_Log_m6(NULL /*static, unused*/, L_18, /*hidden argument*/&Debug_Log_m6_MethodInfo); // IL_00a3: leave IL_00a8 goto IL_00a8; } // end catch (depth: 1)  All managed exceptions are wrapped in the C++ Il2CppExceptionWrapper type. When the generated code catches an exception of that type, it unpacks the C++ representation of the managed exception (which has type Exception_t8). In this case, we’re looking only for a InvalidOperationException, so if we don’t find an exception of that type, a copy of the C++ exception is thrown again. If we do find the correct type, the code jumps to the implementation of the catch handler, and writes out the exception message. Goto!?! This code brings up an interesting point. What are those labels and goto statements doing in there? These constructs are not necessary in structured programming! However, IL does not have structured programming concepts like loops and if/then statements. Since it is lower-level, il2cpp.exe follows lower-level concepts in generated code. For example, let’s look at the for loop in the HelloWorld_Start_m3 method:   IL_00a8: { V_2 = 0; goto IL_00cc; } IL_00af: { ObjectU5BU5D_t4* L_19 = ((ObjectU5BU5D_t4*)SZArrayNew(ObjectU5BU5D_t4_il2cpp_TypeInfo_var, 1)); int32_t L_20 = V_2; Object_t * L_21 = Box(InitializedTypeInfo(&Int32_t5_il2cpp_TypeInfo), &L_20); NullCheck(L_19); IL2CPP_ARRAY_BOUNDS_CHECK(L_19, 0); ArrayElementTypeCheck (L_19, L_21); *((Object_t **)(Object_t **)SZArrayLdElema(L_19, 0)) = (Object_t *)L_21; Debug_LogFormat_m7(NULL /*static, unused*/, (String_t*) &_stringLiteral6, L_19, /*hidden argument*/&Debug_LogFormat_m7_MethodInfo); V_2 = ((int32_t)(V_2+1)); } IL_00cc: { if ((((int32_t)V_2) < ((int32_t)3))) { goto IL_00af; } }  Here the V_2 variable is the loop index. Is starts off with a value of 0, then is incremented at the bottom of the loop in this line:   V_2 = ((int32_t)(V_2+1));   The ending condition in the loop is then checked here: if ((((int32_t)V_2) < ((int32_t)3)))As long as V_2 is less than 3, the goto statement jumps to the IL_00af label, which is the top of the loop body. You might be able to guess that il2cpp.exe is currently generating C++ code directly from IL, without using an intermediate abstract syntax tree representation. If you guessed this, you are correct. You may have also noticed in the Runtime checks section above, some of the generated code looks like this: float L_1 = (__this->___x_1); float L_2 = L_1;Clearly, the L_2 variable is not necessary here. Most C++ compilers can optimize away this additional assignment, but we would like to avoid emitting it at all. We’re currently researching the possibility of using an AST to better understand the IL code and generate better C++ code for cases involving local variables and for loops, among others. Conclusion We’ve just scratched the surface of the C++ code generated by the IL2CPP scripting backend for a very simple project. If you haven’t done so already, I encourage you dig into the generated code in your project. As you explore, keep in mind that the generated C++ code will look different in future versions of Unity, as we are constantly working to improve the build and runtime performance of the IL2CPP scripting backend. By converting IL code to C++, we’ve been able to obtain a nice balance between portable and performant code. We can have many of the nice developer-friendly features of managed code, while still getting the benefits of quality machine code that C++ compiler provides for various platforms. In future posts, we’ll explore more generated code, including method calls, sharing of method implementations and wrappers for calls to native libraries. But next time we will debug some of the generated code for an iOS 64-bit build using Xcode.
- [IL2CPP internals: Debugging tips for generated code](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/il2cpp-internals-debugging-tips-for-generated-code): This is the third blog post in the IL2CPP internals series. In this post, we will explore some tips which make debugging C++ code generated by IL2CPP a little bit easier.
- [IL2CPP internals: Garbage collector integration](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/il2cpp-internals-garbage-collector-integration): As with all of the posts in this series, this post deals with implementation details that can and likely will change in the future. In this post we will specifically look at some internal APIs used by the runtime code to communicate with the garbage collector. These APIs are not publicly supported, and you should not attempt to call them from any code in a real project. But, this is a post about internals, so let’s dig in.
- [IL2CPP Internals: Generic sharing implementation](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/il2cpp-internals-generic-sharing-implementation): Note that generic sharing is not a new idea, both Mono and .Net runtimes use generic sharing as well. Initially, IL2CPP did not perform generic sharing. Recent improvements have made it even more robust and beneficial. Since il2cpp.exe generates C++ code, we can see where the method implementations are shared. We will explore how generic method implementations are shared (or not) for reference types and value types.  We will also investigate how generic parameter constraints affect generic sharing. Keep in mind that everything discussed in this series are implementation details. The topics and code discussed here are likely to change in the future. We like to expose and discuss details like this when it is possible though! What is generic sharing? Imagine you are writing the implementation for the List<T> class in C#. Would that implementation depend on the type T is? Could you use the same implementation of the Add method for List<string> and List<object>? How about List<DateTime>? In fact, the power of generics is just that these C# implementations can be shared, and the generic class List<T> will work for any T. But what happens when List is translated from C# to something executable, like assembly code (as Mono does) or C++ code (as IL2CPP does)? Can we still share the implementation of the Add method? Yes, we can share it most of the time. As we’ll discover in this post, the ability to share the implementation of a generic method depends almost entirely on the size of that type T. If T is any reference type (like string or object), then it will always be the size of a pointer. If T is a value type (like int or DateTime), its size may vary, and things get a bit more complex. The more method implementations which can be shared, the smaller the resulting executable code is. Mark Probst, the developer who implemented generic sharing Mono, has an excellent series of posts on how Mono performs generic sharing. We won’t go into that much depth about generic sharing here. Instead, we will see how and when IL2CPP performs generic sharing. Hopefully this information will help you better analyze and understand the executable size of your project. What is shared by IL2CPP? Currently, IL2CPP shares generic method implementations for a generic type SomeGenericType<T> when T is: Any reference type (e.g. string, object, or any user defined class) Any integer or enum type IL2CPP does not share generic method implementations when T is a value type because the size of each value type will differ (based on the size of its fields). Practically, this means that adding a new usage of SomeGenericType<T>, where T is a reference type will have a minimal impact on the executable size. However, if T is a value type, the executable size will be impacted. This behavior is the same for both the Mono and IL2CPP scripting backends. If you want to know more, read on, it’s time to dig into some implementation details! The setup I’ll be using Unity 5.0.2p1 on Windows, and building for the WebGL platform. I’ve enabled the “Development Player” option in the build settings, and the “Enable Exceptions” option is set to a value of “None”. The script code for this post starts with a driver method to create instances of the generic types we will investigate: public void DemonstrateGenericSharing() { var usesAString = new GenericType<string>(); var usesAClass = new GenericType<AnyClass>(); var usesAValueType = new GenericType<DateTime>(); var interfaceConstrainedType = new InterfaceConstrainedGenericType<ExperimentWithInterface>(); }Next, we define the types used in this method: class GenericType<T> { public T UsesGenericParameter(T value) { return value; } public void DoesNotUseGenericParameter() {} public U UsesDifferentGenericParameter<U>(U value) { return value; } } class AnyClass {} interface AnswerFinderInterface { int ComputeAnswer(); } class ExperimentWithInterface : AnswerFinderInterface { public int ComputeAnswer() { return 42; } } class InterfaceConstrainedGenericType<T> where T : AnswerFinderInterface { public int FindTheAnswer(T experiment) { return experiment.ComputeAnswer(); } }And all of code is nested in a class named HelloWorld derived from MonoBehaviour. If you view the command line for il2cpp.exe, note that it does not contain the --enable-generic-sharing option, as described in the first post in this series. However, generic sharing is still occurring. It is no longer optional, and happens in all cases now. Generic sharing for reference types We’ll start by looking at the most often occurring generic sharing case: reference types. Since all reference types in managed code derive from System.Object, all reference types in the generated C++ code derive from the Object_t type. All reference types can then be represented in C++ code using the type Object_t* as a placeholder. We’ll see why this is important in a moment. Let’s search for the generated version of the DemonstrateGenericSharing method. In my project it is named HelloWorld_DemonstrateGenericSharing_m4. We’re looking for the method definitions for the four methods in the GenericType class. Using Ctags, we can jump to the method declaration for the GenericType<string> constructor, GenericType_1__ctor_m8. Note that this method declaration is actually a #define statement, mapping the method to another method, GenericType_1__ctor_m10447_gshared. Let’s jump back, back and then find the method declarations for the GenericType<AnyClass> type. If we jump to the declaration of the constructor, GenericType_1__ctor_m9, we can see that it is also a #define statement, mapped to the same function, GenericType_1__ctor_m10447_gshared! If we jump to the definition of GenericType_1__ctor_m10447_gshared, we can see from the code comment on the method definition that this method corresponds to the managed method name HelloWorld/GenericType`1<System.Object>::.ctor(). This is the constructor for the GenericType<object> type. This type is called the fully shared type, meaning that given a type GenericType<T>, for any T that is a reference type, the implementation of all methods will use this version, where T is object. Look just below the constructor in the generated code, and you should see the C++ code for the UsesGenericParameter method: extern "C" Object_t * GenericType_1_UsesGenericParameter_m10449_gshared (GenericType_1_t2159 * __this, Object_t * ___value, MethodInfo* method) { { Object_t * L_0 = ___value; return L_0; } }In both places where the generic parameter T is used (the return type and the type of the single managed argument), the generated code uses the Object_t* type. Since all reference types can be represented in the generated code by Object_t*, we can call this single method implementation for any T that is a reference type. In the second blog post in this series (about generated code), we mentioned that all method definitions are free functions in C++. The il2cpp.exe utility does not generate overridden methods in C# using C++ inheritance. However, il2cpp.exe does use C++ inheritance for types. If we search the generated code for the string “AnyClass_t” we can find the C++ representation of the C# type AnyClass: struct  AnyClass_t1  : public Object_t { };Since AnyClass_t1 derives from Object_t, we can pass a pointer to AnyClass_t1 as the argument to the GenericType_1_UsesGenericParameter_m10449_gshared function without problems. What about the return value though? We can’t return a pointer to a base class where a pointer to a derived class is expected, right? Take a look at the declaration of the GenericType<AnyClass>::UsesGenericParameter method: #define GenericType_1_UsesGenericParameter_m10452(__this, ___value, method) (( AnyClass_t1 * (*) (GenericType_1_t6 *, AnyClass_t1 *, MethodInfo*))GenericType_1_UsesGenericParameter_m10449_gshared)(__this, ___value, method)The generated code is actually casting the return value (type Object_t*) to the derived type AnyClass_t1*. So here IL2CPP is lying to the C++ compiler to avoid the C++ type system. Since the C# compiler has already enforced that no code in UsesGenericParameter does anything unreasonable with type T, then IL2CPP is safe to lie to the C++ compiler here. Generic sharing with constraints Suppose that we want to allow some methods to be called on an object of type T? Won’t the use of Object_t* prevent that, since we don’t have many methods on System.Object? Yes, this is correct. But we first need to express this idea to the C# compiler using generic constraints. Take a look again in the script code for this post at the type named InterfaceConstrainedGenericType. This generic type uses a where clause to require that it type T be derived from a given interface, AnswerFinderInterface. This allows the ComputeAnswer method to be called. Recall from the previous blog post about method invocation that calls on interface methods require a lookup in a vtable structure. Since the FindTheAnswer method will make a direct function call on the constrained instance of type T, then the C++ code can still use the fully shared method implementation, with the type T represented by Object_t*. If we start at the implementation of the HelloWorld_DemonstrateGenericSharing_m4 function, then jump to the definition of the InterfaceConstrainedGenericType_1__ctor_m11 function, we can see that this method is again a #define, mapping to the InterfaceConstrainedGenericType_1__ctor_m10456_gshared function. If we look just below that function for the implementation of the InterfaceConstrainedGenericType_1_FindTheAnswer_m10458_gshared function, we can see that indeed, this is the fully shared version of the function, taking an Object_t* argument. It calls the InterfaceFuncInvoker0::Invoke function to actually make the call to the managed ComputeAnswer method. extern "C" int32_t InterfaceConstrainedGenericType_1_FindTheAnswer_m10458_gshared (InterfaceConstrainedGenericType_1_t2160 * __this, Object_t * ___experiment, MethodInfo* method) { static bool s_Il2CppMethodIntialized; if (!s_Il2CppMethodIntialized) { AnswerFinderInterface_t11_il2cpp_TypeInfo_var = il2cpp_codegen_class_from_type(&AnswerFinderInterface_t11_0_0_0); s_Il2CppMethodIntialized = true; } { int32_t L_0 = (int32_t)InterfaceFuncInvoker0<int32_t>::Invoke(0 /* System.Int32 HelloWorld/AnswerFinderInterface::ComputeAnswer() */, AnswerFinderInterface_t11_il2cpp_TypeInfo_var, (Object_t *)(*(&___experiment))); return L_0; } }This all hangs together in the generated C++ code code because IL2CPP treats all managed interfaces like System.Object. This is a useful rule of thumb to help understand the code generated by il2cpp.exe in other cases as well. Constraints with a base class In addition to interface constraints, C# allows constraints to be a base class. IL2CPP does not treat all base classes like System.Object, so how does generic sharing work for base class constraints? Since base classes are always reference types, IL2CPP uses the fully shared version of the generic methods for these types. Any code which needs to use a field or call a method on the constrained type is performs a cast in C++ to the proper type. Again, here we rely on the C# compiler to correctly enforce the generic constraint, and we lie to the C++ compiler about the type. Generic sharing with value types Let’s jump back now to the HelloWorld_DemonstrateGenericSharing_m4 function and look at the implementation for GenericType<DateTime>. The DateTime type is a value type, so GenericType<DateTime> is not shared. We can jump to the declaration of constructor for this type, GenericType_1__ctor_m10. There we see a #define, as in the other cases, but the #define maps to the GenericType_1__ctor_m10_gshared function, which is specific to the GenericType<DateTime> class, and is not used by any other class. Thinking about generic sharing conceptually The implementation of generic sharing can be difficult to understand and follow. The problem space itself is fraught with pathological cases (e.g. the curiously recurring template pattern). It can help to think about a few concepts: Every method implementation on a generic type is shared Some generic types only share method implementations with themselves (e.g. generic types with a value type generic parameter, GenericType above) Generic types with a reference type generic parameter are fully shared - they always use the implementation with System.Object for all type parameters. Generic types with two or more type parameters can be partially shared if at least one of those type parameters is a reference type. The il2cpp.exe utility always generates the fully shared method implementations for any generic type. It generates other method implementations only when they are used. Sharing of generic methods Just as method implementations on generic types can be shared, so can method implementation for generic methods. In the original script code, notice that the UsesDifferentGenericParameter method uses a different type parameter than the GenericType class. When we looked at the shared method implementations for the GenericType class, we did not see the UsesDifferentGenericParameter method. If I search the generated code for “UsesDifferentGenericParameter” I see that the implementation of this method is in the GenericMethods0.cpp file: extern "C" Object_t * GenericType_1_UsesDifferentGenericParameter_TisObject_t_m15243_gshared (GenericType_1_t2159 * __this, Object_t * ___value, MethodInfo* method) { { Object_t * L_0 = ___value; return L_0; } }Notice that this the fully shared version of the method implementation, accepting the type Object_t*. Although this method is in a generic type, the behavior would be the same for a generic method in a non-generic type as well. Effectively, il2cpp.exe attempts to always generate the least code possible for method implementations involving generic parameters. Conclusion Generic sharing has been one of the most important improvements to the IL2CPP scripting backend since its initial release. It allows the generated C++ code to be as small as possible, sharing method implementations where they do not differ in behavior. As we look to continue to decrease binary size, we will work to take advantage of more opportunities to share method implementations. In the next post, we will explore how p/invoke wrappers are generated, and how types are marshaled from managed to native code. We will be able to see the cost of marshaling various types, and debug problems with marshaling code.
- [IL2CPP internals: Method calls](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/il2cpp-internals-method-calls): This is the fourth blog post in the IL2CPP Internals series. In this post, we will look at how il2cpp.exe generates C++ code for method calls in managed code. Specifically, we will investigate six different types of method calls: Direct calls on instance and static methods Calls via a compile-time delegate Calls via a virtual method Calls via an interface method Calls via a run-time delegate Calls via reflection In each case, we will focus on what the generated C++ code is doing and, specifically, on how much those instructions will cost. As with all of the posts in this series, we will be exploring code that is subject to change and, in fact, is likely to change in a newer version of Unity. However, the concepts should remain the same. Please take everything discussed in this series as implementation details. We like to expose and discuss details like this when it is possible though! Setup I’ll be using Unity version 5.0.1p4. I’ll run the editor on Windows, and build for the WebGL platform. I’m building with the “Development Player” option enabled, and the “Enable Exceptions” option set to a value of “Full”. I’ll build with a single script file, modified from the last post so that we can see the different types of method calls. The script starts with an interface and class definition: interface Interface { int MethodOnInterface(string question); } class Important : Interface { public int Method(string question) { return 42; } public int MethodOnInterface(string question) { return 42; } public static int StaticMethod(string question) { return 42; } }Then we have a constant field and a delegate type, both used later in the code: private const string question = "What is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything?"; private delegate int ImportantMethodDelegate(string question);Finally, these are the methods we are interested in exploring (plus the obligatory Start method, which has no content here): private void CallDirectly() { var important = ImportantFactory(); important.Method(question); } private void CallStaticMethodDirectly() { Important.StaticMethod(question); } private void CallViaDelegate() { var important = ImportantFactory(); ImportantMethodDelegate indirect = important.Method; indirect(question); } private void CallViaRuntimeDelegate() { var important = ImportantFactory(); var runtimeDelegate = Delegate.CreateDelegate(typeof (ImportantMethodDelegate), important, "Method"); runtimeDelegate.DynamicInvoke(question); } private void CallViaInterface() { Interface importantViaInterface = new Important(); importantViaInterface.MethodOnInterface(question); } private void CallViaReflection() { var important = ImportantFactory(); var methodInfo = typeof(Important).GetMethod("Method"); methodInfo.Invoke(important, new object[] {question}); } private static Important ImportantFactory() { var important = new Important(); return important; } void Start () {}  With all that defined, let’s get started. Recall that the generated C++ code will be located in the Temp\StagingArea\Data\il2cppOutput directory in the project (as long as the editor remains open). And don’t forget to generate Ctags on the generated code, to help navigate it. Calling a method directly The simplest (and fastest, as we will see) way to call a method, is to call it directly. Here is the generated code for the CallDirectly method: Important_t1 * L_0 = HelloWorld_ImportantFactory_m15(NULL /*static, unused*/, /*hidden argument*/&HelloWorld_ImportantFactory_m15_MethodInfo); V_0 = L_0; Important_t1 * L_1 = V_0; NullCheck(L_1); Important_Method_m1(L_1, (String_t*) &_stringLiteral1, /*hidden argument*/&Important_Method_m1_MethodInfo);The last line is the actual method call. Note that it does nothing special, just calls a free function defined in the C++ code. Recall from the earlier post about generated code, that il2cpp.exe generates all methods as C++ free functions. The IL2CPP scripting backend does not use C++ member functions or virtual functions for any generated code. It follows then that calling a static method directory should be similar. Here is the generated code from the  CallStaticMethodDirectly method: Important_StaticMethod_m3(NULL /*static, unused*/, (String_t*) &_stringLiteral1, /*hidden argument*/&Important_StaticMethod_m3_MethodInfo);We could say there is less overhead calling a static method, since we don’t need to create and initialize an object instance. However, the method call itself is exactly the same, a call to a C++ free function. The only difference here is that the first argument is always passed with a value of NULL. Since the difference between calls to static and instance methods is so minimal, we’ll focus on instance methods only for the rest of this post, but the information applies to static methods as well. Calling a method via a compile-time delegate What happens with a slightly more exotic method call, like an indirect call via delegate? We’ll first look at a what I’ll call a compile-time delegate, meaning that we know at compile time which method will be called on which object instance. The code for this type of call is in the CallViaDelegate method. It looks like this in the generated code:   // Get the object instance used to call the method. Important_t1 * L_0 = HelloWorld_ImportantFactory_m15(NULL /*static, unused*/, /*hidden argument*/&HelloWorld_ImportantFactory_m15_MethodInfo); V_0 = L_0; Important_t1 * L_1 = V_0; // Create the delegate. IntPtr_t L_2 = { &Important_Method_m1_MethodInfo }; ImportantMethodDelegate_t4 * L_3 = (ImportantMethodDelegate_t4 *)il2cpp_codegen_object_new (InitializedTypeInfo(&ImportantMethodDelegate_t4_il2cpp_TypeInfo)); ImportantMethodDelegate__ctor_m4(L_3, L_1, L_2, /*hidden argument*/&ImportantMethodDelegate__ctor_m4_MethodInfo); V_1 = L_3; ImportantMethodDelegate_t4 * L_4 = V_1; // Call the method NullCheck(L_4); VirtFuncInvoker1< int32_t, String_t* >::Invoke(&ImportantMethodDelegate_Invoke_m5_MethodInfo, L_4, (String_t*) &_stringLiteral1);  I’ve added a few comments to indicate the different parts of the generated code. Note that the actual method called here is not part of the generated code. The method VirtFuncInvoker1<int32_t, String_t*>::Invoke is located in the GeneratedVirtualInvokers.h file. This file is generated by il2cpp.exe, but it doesn’t come from any IL code. Instead, il2cpp.exe creates this file based on the usage of virtual functions that return a value (VirtFuncInvokerN) and those that don’t (VirtActionInvokerN), where N is the number of arguments to the method. The Invoke method here looks like this:   template <typename R, typename T1> struct VirtFuncInvoker1 { typedef R (*Func)(void*, T1, MethodInfo*); static inline R Invoke (MethodInfo* method, void* obj, T1 p1) { VirtualInvokeData data = il2cpp::vm::Runtime::GetVirtualInvokeData (method, obj); return ((Func)data.methodInfo->method)(data.target, p1, data.methodInfo); } };  The call into libil2cpp GetVirtualInvokeData looks up a virtual method in the vtable struct generated based on the managed code, then it makes a call to that method. Why don’t we used C++11 variadic templates to implement these VirtFuncInvokerN methods? This looks like a situation begging for variadic templates, and indeed it is. However, the C++ code generated by il2cpp.exe has to work with some C++ compilers which don’t yet support all C++ 11 features, including variadic templates. In this case at least, we did not think that forking the generated code for C++11 compilers was worth the additional complexity. But why is this a virtual method call? Aren’t we calling an instance method in the C# code? Recall that we are calling the instance method via a C# delegate. Look again at the generated code above. The actual method we are going to call is passed in via the MethodInfo* (method metadata) argument: ImportantMethodDelegate_Invoke_m5_MethodInfo. If we search for the method named "ImportantMethodDelegate_Invoke_m5" in the generated code, we see that the call is actually to the managed Invoke method on the ImportantMethodDelegate type. This is a virtual method, so we need to make a virtual call. It is this ImportantMethodDelegate_Invoke_m5 function which will actually make the call to the method named Method in the C# code. Wow, that was certainly a mouth-full. By making what looks like a simple change to the C# code, we’ve now gone from a single call to a C++ free function to multiple function calls, plus a table lookup. Calling a method via a delegate is significantly more costly than calling the same method directly. Note that in the process of looking at a delegate method call, we’ve also seen how a call via a virtual method works. Calling a method via an interface It’s also possible to call a method in C# via an interface. This call is implemented by il2cpp.exe similar to a virtual method call: Important_t1 * L_0 = (Important_t1 *)il2cpp_codegen_object_new (InitializedTypeInfo(&Important_t1_il2cpp_TypeInfo)); Important__ctor_m0(L_0, /*hidden argument*/&Important__ctor_m0_MethodInfo); V_0 = L_0; Object_t * L_1 = V_0; NullCheck(L_1); InterfaceFuncInvoker1< int32_t, String_t* >::Invoke(&Interface_MethodOnInterface_m22_MethodInfo, L_1, (String_t*) &_stringLiteral1);Note the actual method call here is done via the InterfaceFuncInvoker1::Invoke function, which is in the GeneratedInterfaceInvokers.h file. Like the VirtFuncInvoker1 class the InterfaceFuncInvoker1 class does a lookup in a vtable via the il2cpp::vm::Runtime::GetInterfaceInvokeData function in libil2cpp. Why does an interface method call need to use a different API in libil2cpp from a virtual method call? Note that the call to InterfaceFuncInvoker1::Invoke is passing not only the method to call and its arguments, but also the interface to call that method on (L_1 in this case). The vtable for each type is stored so that interface methods are written at a specific offset. Therefore, il2cpp.exe needs to provide the interface in order to determine which method to call. The bottom line here is that calling a virtual method and calling a method via an interface have effectively the same overhead in IL2CPP. Calling a method via a run-time delegate Another way to use a delegate is to create it at runtime via the Delegate.CreateDelegate method. This approach is similar to a compile-time delegate, except that it be modified at runtime in a few more ways. We pay for that flexibility with an additional function call. Here is the generated code:   // Get the object instance used to call the method. Important_t1 * L_0 = HelloWorld_ImportantFactory_m15(NULL /*static, unused*/, /*hidden argument*/&HelloWorld_ImportantFactory_m15_MethodInfo); V_0 = L_0; // Create the delegate. IL2CPP_RUNTIME_CLASS_INIT(InitializedTypeInfo(&Type_t_il2cpp_TypeInfo)); Type_t * L_1 = Type_GetTypeFromHandle_m19(NULL /*static, unused*/, LoadTypeToken(&ImportantMethodDelegate_t4_0_0_0), /*hidden argument*/&Type_GetTypeFromHandle_m19_MethodInfo); Important_t1 * L_2 = V_0; Delegate_t12 * L_3 = Delegate_CreateDelegate_m20(NULL /*static, unused*/, L_1, L_2, (String_t*) &_stringLiteral2, /*hidden argument*/&Delegate_CreateDelegate_m20_MethodInfo); V_1 = L_3; Delegate_t12 * L_4 = V_1; // Call the method ObjectU5BU5D_t9* L_5 = ((ObjectU5BU5D_t9*)SZArrayNew(ObjectU5BU5D_t9_il2cpp_TypeInfo_var, 1)); NullCheck(L_5); IL2CPP_ARRAY_BOUNDS_CHECK(L_5, 0); ArrayElementTypeCheck (L_5, (String_t*) &_stringLiteral1); *((Object_t **)(Object_t **)SZArrayLdElema(L_5, 0)) = (Object_t *)(String_t*) &_stringLiteral1; NullCheck(L_4); Delegate_DynamicInvoke_m21(L_4, L_5, /*hidden argument*/&Delegate_DynamicInvoke_m21_MethodInfo);  This delegate requires a good bit of code for creation and initialization. But the method call itself has even more overhead, too. First we need to create an array to hold the method arguments, then call the DynamicInvoke method on the Delegate instance. If we follow that method in the generated code, we can see that it calls the VirtFuncInvoker1::Invoke function, just as the compile-time delegate does. So this delegate requires one more function call then the compile-time delegate does, plus two lookups in a vtable, instead of just one. Calling a method via reflection The most costly way to call a method is, not surprisingly, via reflection. Let’s look at the generated code for the CallViaReflection method:   // Get the object instance used to call the method. Important_t1 * L_0 = HelloWorld_ImportantFactory_m15(NULL /*static, unused*/, /*hidden argument*/&HelloWorld_ImportantFactory_m15_MethodInfo); V_0 = L_0; // Get the method metadata from the type via reflection. IL2CPP_RUNTIME_CLASS_INIT(InitializedTypeInfo(&Type_t_il2cpp_TypeInfo)); Type_t * L_1 = Type_GetTypeFromHandle_m19(NULL /*static, unused*/, LoadTypeToken(&Important_t1_0_0_0), /*hidden argument*/&Type_GetTypeFromHandle_m19_MethodInfo); NullCheck(L_1); MethodInfo_t * L_2 = (MethodInfo_t *)VirtFuncInvoker1< MethodInfo_t *, String_t* >::Invoke(&Type_GetMethod_m23_MethodInfo, L_1, (String_t*) &_stringLiteral2); V_1 = L_2; MethodInfo_t * L_3 = V_1; // Call the method. Important_t1 * L_4 = V_0; ObjectU5BU5D_t9* L_5 = ((ObjectU5BU5D_t9*)SZArrayNew(ObjectU5BU5D_t9_il2cpp_TypeInfo_var, 1)); NullCheck(L_5); IL2CPP_ARRAY_BOUNDS_CHECK(L_5, 0); ArrayElementTypeCheck (L_5, (String_t*) &_stringLiteral1); *((Object_t **)(Object_t **)SZArrayLdElema(L_5, 0)) = (Object_t *)(String_t*) &_stringLiteral1; NullCheck(L_3); VirtFuncInvoker2< Object_t *, Object_t *, ObjectU5BU5D_t9* >::Invoke(&MethodBase_Invoke_m24_MethodInfo, L_3, L_4, L_5);  As in the case of the runtime delegate, we need to spend some time creating an array for the arguments to the method. Then we make a virtual method call to MethodBase::Invoke (the MethodBase_Invoke_m24 function). This function in turn invokes another virtual function, before we finally get to the actual method call! Conclusion While this is no substitute for actual profiling and measurement, we can get some insight about the overhead of any given method invocation by looking at how the generated C++ code is used for different types of method calls. Specifically, it is clear that we want to avoid calls via run-time delegates and reflection, if at all possible. As always, the best advice about making performance improvements is to measure early and often with profiling tools. We’re always looking for ways to optimize the code generated by il2cpp.exe, so it is likely that these method calls will look different in a later version of Unity. Next time we’ll delve deeper in to method implementations and see how we share the implementation of generic methods to minimize generated code and executable size.
- [IL2CPP internals: P/Invoke Wrappers](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/il2cpp-internals-pinvoke-wrappers): I’ve written a good bit of managed to native interop code in my days, but getting p/invoke declarations right in C# is still difficult, to say the least. Understanding what the runtime is doing to marshal my objects is even more of a mystery. Since IL2CPP does most of its marshaling in generated C++ code, we can see (and even debug!) its behavior, providing much better insight for troubleshooting and performance analysis. This post does not aim to provide general information about marshaling and native interop. That is a wide topic, too large for one post. The Unity documentation discusses how native plugins interact with Unity. Both Mono and Microsoft provide plenty of excellent information about p/invoke in general. As with all of the posts in this series, we will be exploring code that is subject to change and, in fact, is likely to change in a newer version of Unity. However, the concepts should remain the same. Please take everything discussed in this series as implementation details. We like to expose and discuss details like this when it is possible though!
- [IL2CPP internals: Testing frameworks](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/il2cpp-internals-testing-frameworks): The IL2CPP team has a strong test-first development mentality. Much of the code for IL2CPP is written using the practice of Test Driven Development (TDD), and very few pull requests are merged to the IL2CPP code without significant test coverage. Since IL2CPP has a finite (although rather large) set of inputs - the ECMA 335 spec- the process of developing it fits nicely with TDD concepts. Most of tests are written before production code, and these tests always need to fail in an expected way before the code to make them pass is written. This process helps to drive the design of IL2CPP, but it also provides the development team with a large bank of tests which run rather quickly and exercise nearly all of the existing behavior in IL2CPP. As a development team, this test suite provides two important benefits. Confidence: Most changes to refactor code in IL2CPP can be made with high confidence. If the tests pass, it is very unlikely that a regression has been introduced. Troubleshooting: Since the code in IL2CPP behaves as we expect it to, bugs are almost always unimplemented sections of the code or cases we have not yet considered. By scoping down the space of possible causes of a given bug this way, we can correct bugs much more quickly.

- [Introducing new Prefab workflows](https://unity.com/blog/technology/introducing-new-prefab-workflows): One of the top requested additions to Unity is the ability to nest Prefabs. But we know a lot of you need many more changes to the Prefab workflows than that. Therefore, we’re improving the whole system with focus on reusability, control & safety. This is the first in a series of blog posts explaining the upcoming changes. If you haven’t done so already during yesterday’s Unite Berlin keynote, get the preview Unity build with the new Prefab system here. Let’s start by recapping the basics of what Prefabs are in Unity. Fundamentally, a Prefab Asset is like a template of a GameObject and its children. You can use instances of a Prefab Asset to create many copies of a GameObject throughout your Scenes. If the Prefab Asset is changed, all the Prefab instances are automatically updated accordingly. We talked to a wide range of indie and AAA studios to dig deep into how you all work with Prefabs at the moment. An issue we found was that when you wanted to edit a Prefab Asset, you had to drag it to an open Scene in the Hierarchy to modify it, apply the changes and then remember to delete it again. Another big issue was the Apply button for Prefab instances in the Inspector. With this button, you could accidentally apply changes to the Prefab Asset that you had no good way of getting an overview of. To address these issues we have introduced a range of new features. We have implemented a backwards compatible Prefab backend that now supports nesting and inheritance. We have improved the visualization of property and object overrides for Prefab instances, and added the ability to apply overrides on multiple levels of granularity: per property, per Component/GameObject, or, as before, the entire Prefab instance. Lastly, we have added Prefab Mode to be able to edit a Prefab Asset in isolation.

- [Introducing Unity 2017](https://unity.com/blog/technology/introducing-unity-2017): We’re excited to announce that Unity 2017.1 has been released and is now available for download. We want to thank the Unity community for their valuable contributions during the beta phase. This release marks the debut of the new Unity 2017 cycle, evolving the world’s most popular game engine into an ever-expanding creation engine for gaming and real-time entertainment, with a strong focus on helping teams work better and enabling success. We want to equip artists, designers and developers with powerful new visual tools that let the whole team contribute more and collaborate efficiently. We also want to help you to produce amazing AAA experiences by improving graphics quality and runtime performance. Regarding performance, we want to help you stay ahead of the curve on the latest and emerging platforms (desktop, console, mobile, VR, AR, TVs) and to take advantage of the latest GPU and native Graphics APIs. With this in mind, we are building on Unity’s strong multiplatform “build once, deploy anywhere” foundation. We work closely with our technology partners so you can reach users everywhere and maximize your chances of success. Success includes revenue, and built-in solutions (Ads, IAP) and Live-Ops Analytics in Unity 2017 contribute in this area. They bring more opportunities to optimize the performance of your live games in real-time, without redeployment, helping to maximize revenue using the power of data. Unity 2017.1 is available to all users with an active subscription plan (Personal, Plus and Pro). If you have Unity 5 perpetual license(s), Unity 5.6 the last update in the 5.x cycle. To continue receiving all updates, go to the Unity Store and choose the plan that fits your needs. We are really excited about the amazing content our community will create with Unity 2017!

- [Introducing Unity 2018.3](https://unity.com/blog/technology/introducing-unity-2018-3): Unity 2018.3 introduces improved Prefab workflows, including nesting, as well as enhancements to our Scriptable Render Pipeline, Terrain system and scripting runtime, and a preview of the Visual Effect Graph. Over the years, one of the features we’ve heard you requesting most often has been the ability to nest Prefabs. After conducting numerous interviews, usability tests and research at game jams, however, we found out that a lot of you also needed several other changes to the Prefab workflows. Therefore, we have been improving the whole system with a focus on reusability, control and user-friendliness. The new Prefab workflows allow you to split up scenes and Prefabs on a granular level. They give you greater flexibility, increase your productivity and enable you to work confidently without worrying about making time-consuming errors. Continuing our focus on workflow improvements, Unity 2018.3 now has unified Settings windows for Project Settings and Preferences. The new windows are dockable and searchable, which makes it much more convenient to quickly find and change settings. The default scripting runtime is now .NET 4.x. The old .NET 3.5 runtime has been deprecated and support for it will soon be dropped. Projects that target the .NET 4.x scripting runtime will be able to use the open-source Roslyn compiler. In this release, we also added a PhysX 3.4 upgrade that comes with improvements to stability and performance as well as support for multiple worlds and C# Job queries. The world-building 2D Tilemap tool now enables you to build isometric Tilemaps, which makes it easier to create 2D projects such as strategy, tycoons and simulation games. Unity 2018.3 also ships with an update to the Terrain system, which marks the beginning of a larger overhaul. In this update, our focus has been not only to set the foundation for further improvements with a few tweaks to the UI and tools but also to improve performance. We also added High-Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) and Lightweight Render Pipeline (LWRP) support. Unity 2018.3 includes a number of improvements to the HDRP (preview). This version adds preliminary support for VR and multisample anti-aliasing and improves support for PC, Mac, XBox One and PS4. The UI of various Inspectors of HDRP elements is now updated: Camera, Lights, Reflections Probe, and Material. Finally, we added a new lighting model, so you can author more complex materials. We are also introducing the GPU Progressive Lightmapper in Preview for Windows and several improvements to lighting. Our new Visual Effect Graph, which ships in Preview as a package, enables you to create beautiful effects using a node-based system that is both easy to use and flexible. Inspired by leading VFX software tools for films, it empowers artists to create stand-out visual effects for games and other projects with millions of particles running on the GPU. Unity 2018.3 also includes several new features for the existing Particle System. For example, there are Particle Meshes that can now be flipped just like with billboards, Particle Lights that now support Real-time Global Illumination, and the new Ringbuffer Mode, which makes it easier to create persistent effects like footprints or bullet holes by keeping particles visible after their lifetime expires and until they are replaced. Mobile improvements include Dynamic Resolution Scaling support for Vulkan and Metal, Android AppBundle generation support and faster APK package build times on Android with APKzlib. For XR, we added Native Support for Daydream Controllers, Haptics APIs for VR controllers, and updates to the AR Foundation as well as XR Performance Testing. And in our Developer services, we added several improvements to Collaborate and Cloud Build. Performance Reporting, renamed Cloud Diagnostics, now also tracks user-submitted reports. Finally, 2018.3 comes with a number of smaller changes and bug fixes. You can begin downloading the full release from our update page or through your Unity Hub before digging into all the details.   Download Unity 2018.3

- [Lexus opens the door for virtual production in Unity](https://unity.com/blog/lexus-opens-the-door-for-virtual-production-in-unity): Car buyers increasingly expect rich and unique online experiences during their purchase journeys. In this post, learn how Lexus is using Unity to reimagine the production process for advertising/marketing content – ultimately paving the way for the automaker and its creative partners to create high-fidelity imagery and videos faster, more cost-effectively, and at an unprecedented scale.  We recently collaborated with Lexus and its agency Team One to create a real-time configurator showcasing the Lexus ES MY19. While you may be familiar with consumer-focused car configurators – commonly seen in web-based “build and price” tools – this new process provides richer capabilities for industry professionals.  First, it was purpose-built for developing virtual productions that are too difficult or too expensive to create in the real world. Additionally, instead of providing a generic user experience, it opens up a full-scale vehicle in real-time – with interactive components – letting Lexus and Team One tailor the car’s appearance, setting, perspective, time of day and more. With this new process, professionals can switch move through configurations, switching trims and paint colors on the fly. View the car at night or from any angle. Ditto for swapping out interior options. When they’ve tailored and staged their ideal vehicle, they can capture the perfect shot through a virtual single-lens reflex (SLR) camera. And that spells innovation for Lexus.

- [List View Framework](https://unity.com/blog/technology/list-view-framework): In order to implement project Carte Blanche’s card system, we developed an extensible framework for creating dynamic, scrollable lists of objects. This article discusses the structure and contents of this framework. The code and sample scenes are available as a Unity Asset Store package and a public repository for the developer community. Project Carte Blanche (PCB) is Unity Lab's research initiative on VR-in-VR authoring tools for non-technical users. As illustrated in the concept video, its user interface is based on a playing cards metaphor. Central to the design of Carte Blanche is the idea that objects and actions are represented by virtual cards which users grab and place on a virtual table. The user will physically interact with cards by using tracked motion controllers. PCB’s cards are a more complex version of conventional scrollable lists. List Views are common widgets provided in many GUI toolkits. Unity’s UI system includes several layout components and customizable controls to make dynamic lists which are scrollable and have hover states. A GridLayout or VerticalLayout will get most of the work done, and there’s even a handful of packages on the Asset Store just for lists. However, the existing solutions we found required the lists to be inside of a canvas and exist within the UI system. PCB requires cards to animate in and out of existence and to let the user touch them. Furthermore, performance in VR is critical. One common drawback of "classic" UI list views is that the full list is represented by scene objects which are only masked. If the list structure changes, or perhaps an item is expanded to take up more space, the system must re-evaluate all of the items in the list. We also want to avoid instantiating and destroying scene objects if possible, because this can be costly. Finally, for reusability and consistency of look and feel, we need an extensible solution that allows us to create similar behavior in other UI elements. We developed a general framework for creating list views, which serves as the foundation of PCB’s card system. Since there are also broad use-cases for such a framework, we decided to release it as an Asset Store package for the community.

- [Making of The Heretic: The VFX-driven character Morgan](https://unity.com/blog/technology/making-of-the-heretic-the-vfx-driven-character-morgan): Creating a character with the help of Visual Effects Graph was an interesting challenge for the Unity Demo team. As someone who spent a lot of time in his career waiting for renders to finish, Demo team’s Technical Artist Adrian Lazar has appreciation for the creative options made possible by real-time authoring. Read the post below for his detailed breakdown of the process behind the character Morgan, as well as useful tips for anyone doing VFX in Unity. My name is Adrian Lazar and I’ve been working in the computer-generated graphics industry for the last 18 years or so, starting with post-production in advertising and transitioning to real-time graphics with game development in 2009. I have a generalist background and in the last few years I’ve been taking more technical art tasks - this helped me ship my own indie title together with a small, but talented team. When I joined Unity’s Demo Team in early 2019 as a technical artist, we were getting ready to release the first part of The Heretic so I helped with some finishing effects. Soon after that we started talking about Morgan, the god-like, VFX-driven character introduced in the short film 2nd part. On the storytelling side, Vess (Veselin Efremov, writer, director and creative director of The Heretic) had some clear requirements: Morgan needed to morph between multiple states, calm and angry, female and male or a combination of these, grow in height multiple times over, crumble, catch fire, and more. Regarding the appearance, on the other hand, Vess intentionally left it quite open for exploration and experimentation. We had some early concepts created by our former colleague Georgi Simeonov, but those didn’t get into the vfx and shape-shifting aspect of the character, both fundamental to the final look - this meant that I had a pretty blank slate to start which was challenging but fun!

- [Making the most of TextMesh Pro in Unity 2018](https://unity.com/blog/technology/making-the-most-of-textmesh-pro-in-unity-2018): Whether you’re working on an FPS, a puzzle game or a VR experience, one of the aspects you have to take care of is User Interface. Luckily enough, as of March 2017, TextMesh Pro has joined the Unity family. This means that making your UI in Unity look great has become much easier and faster! For those of you who haven’t followed these developments, TextMesh Pro is a replacement for Unity’s default text components. It is just as performant (even more, in some cases) and it uses a completely different rendering technique called Signed Distance Field (SDF), originally used by Valve in Team Fortress 2. Together with having the power to make your text look great without much effort, TextMesh Pro also provides you with a much more advanced control over it, via inspector or scripting. In this post, we’re going to take a look at how to make the most out of this incredible tool! There are two main reasons why it is a great idea to start your projects using TextMesh Pro. First, visual improvements. Thanks to SDF rendering, it’s easy to change the way your text looks without having to recreate its font. Every TextMesh Pro component has a material attached to it that you can tweak in order to modify the style of your text. Second, better control. The TextMesh Pro component includes all variables you can find in the ordinary text component, plus a lot more. And if this wasn’t enough, just know that TextMesh Pro is currently used by over a quarter of a million developers around the world!

- [Mecanim humanoids](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/mecanim-humanoids): This post explains the technology behind Mecanim Humanoids. How it works, strengths and limitations, why some choices were made and hopefully some hints on how to get the best out of it. Please refer to Unity Documentation  for general setup and instructions. Humanoid Rig and Muscle Space Mecanim Humanoid Rig and Muscle Space are an alternative solution to the standard skeleton node hierarchies and geometric transforms to represent humanoid body and animations. The Humanoid Rig is a description on top of a skeleton node hierarchy. It identifies a set of human bones and creates a Muscle Referential for each of those. A Muscle Referential is essentially a pre and post rotation with a range and a sign for each axis. A Muscle is a normalized value [-1,1] that moves a bone for one axis between range [min,max]. Note that the Muscle normalized value can go below or over [-1,1] to overshoot the range. The range is not a hard limit, instead it defines the normal motion span for a Muscle. A specific Humanoid Rig can augment or reduce the range of a Muscle Referential to augment or reduce its motion span. The Muscle Space is the set of all Muscle normalized values for the Humanoid Rig. It is a Normalized Humanoid pose. A range of zero (min= max) for a bone axis means that there is no Muscle for it. For example, the Elbow does not have a muscle for its Y axis, as it only stretches in and out (Z-Axis) and roll in and out (X-Axis). In the end, the Muscle Space is composed of at most 47 Muscle values that completely describe a Humanoid body pose. One beautiful thing about Muscle Space, is that it is completely abstracted from its original or any skeleton rig. It can be directly applied to any Humanoid Rig and it always create a believable pose.  Another beautiful thing is how well Muscle Space interpolates. Compare to standard skeleton pose, Muscle Space will always interpolate naturally between animation key frames, during state machine transition or when mixed in a blend tree. Computation-wise it also performs as the Muscle Space can be treated as a vector of a scalar that you can linearly interpolate as opposed to quaternions or Euler angles. An approximation of human body and human motion Every new skeleton rig built for a humanoid character or any animation captured will be an approximation of the human body and human motion. No matter how many bones or how good your MOCAP hardware is, the result will be an approximation of the real thing. Riggers, game companies, schools or software firms will propose their own version of what they thinks best represent the human body and motion and what will best fit their production needs. The elaboration of Mecanim Humanoid Rig and Muscle Space was confronted to some hard choices. We had to find a compromise between fast runtime and animation quality or openness and standard definition. 2 Spine bones This is a tough one. Why 2, not 3? or an arbitrary number of spines bones?  Lets discard the latest, it is not about biomedical research. (Note that you can always use a Generic Rig if you absolutely need this level of precision). One spine bone is clearly under defined. Adding a second one brings you most of the way. A third or even a forth one will only give a small contribution to the final human pose. Why is this? When looking at how a human spine bends, you will notice that the part of spine that is on the rib cage is almost rigid. What remains, is a main flexion point at the base of the spine and one other at the base of the rib cage. So there are two main flexion points. Looking at a contortionist even in extreme poses clearly show this. Considering all of this we decided to have 2 spine bones for the Humanoid Rig. 1 Neck Bone This one is easier than for spine. Note that many game skeleton rigs don’t even have a neck bone and manage to do the job with only a head bone. Rotation DoF As with most skeleton rigs (it is even more often the case for games), the Mecanim Humanoid Rig only supports rotation animation. The bones are not allowed to change their local translation relative to their parent. Some 3D packages induce a certain amount of translation on bones to simulate elasticity of articulations or squash and stretch animation. We are currently looking at adding translation DoF as it is a relatively cheap way in term of computation performance to compensate for animation quality on less detailed skeleton rigs. It would also allow users to create retargetable squash and stretch animation. No twist bones Twist bones are often added to skeleton rigs to prevent skin deformation problems on arms and legs when they are in extreme twist configuration. Twist bones help to distribute the deformation induced by twist from start to end of the limb. In the Muscle Space, the amount of twist is represented by a Muscle and it is always associated with the parent bone of a limb. Ex: The twist on the forearm happens at the elbow and not on the wrist. Humanoid Rigs don’t support twist bones, but Mecanim solver let you specify a percentage of twist to be taken out of the parent and put onto the child of the limb.It is defaulted at 50% and greatly helps to prevent skin deformation problem. Humanoid Root and Center of mass Now, what would be the best way to represent the position and orientation of human body in world space? The top most bone in hierarchy (usually hips, pelvis or whatever it is called) is where lies the world space position and orientation curves in a standard skeleton rig. While this works fine for a specific character, it becomes inappropriate when doing retargeting since from one skeleton rig to another the top most bone usually have a different position and rotation relative to the rest of the skeleton. The Muscle Space uses the humanoid center of mass to represent its position in world space. The center of mass is approximated using a human average body parts mass distribution. We do the assumption that, after scale adjustments, the center of mass for a humanoid pose is the same for any humanoid character. It is a big assumption, but it has shown to work very well for a wide set of animations and humanoid characters. It is true that for standing up or walking animations, the centre of mass lies around hips, but for more dynamic motion like a back flip, you can see how body moves away from the centre of mass and how the centre of mass feels like the most stable point over the animation. Body orientation Similar to what the centre of mass does for Muscle Space world space position, we use an average body orientation for world space orientation. The average body orientation up vector is computed out of the hips and shoulders middle points. The front vector is then the cross product of the up vector and average left/right hips/shoulders vectors. It is also assumed that this average body orientation for a humanoid pose is the same for all humanoid rigs. As for the centre of mass, an average body orientation tends to be a stable referential as lower and upper body orientation naturally compensates when walking, running, etc. Root Motion A more in depth paper about root motion will follow, but as an introduction, the projection of the centre of mass and average body orientation is used to automatically create root motion. The fact that the centre of mass and average body orientation are stable properties of humanoid animation leads to a stable root motion that can be used for navigation or motion prediction. The scale One thing is still missing in Muscle Space to be a completely normalized humanoid pose… the overall size of it. Again we are looking for a way to describe the size of a humanoid that does not rely on a specific point like head bone position since it is not consistent from rig to rig. The center of mass height for a humanoid character in T-Stance is directly used as its scale. The center of mass position of the Muscle Space is divided by this scale to produce the final normalized humanoid pose. Said in another way, the Muscle Space is normalized for a humanoid that has a centre of mass height of 1 when in T-Stance. All the positions in the Muscle Space are said to be in normalized meters. Original hands and feet position When applying a Muscle Space to a Humanoid Rig, hands and feet may end up in different position and orientation from the original animation, due to the difference in proportions of Humanoid Rigs. This may result in feet sliding or hands not reaching properly.  This is why Muscle Space optionally contains the original position and orientation of hands and feet. The hands and feet position and orientation are normalized relative to Humanoid Root (center of mass, average body rotation and humanoid scale) in the Muscle Space. Those original positions and orientations can be used to fix the retargeted skeleton pose to match the original world space position using an IK pass. IK Solver The main goal of IK Solver on arms and legs is to reach the original hands and feet position and orientation optionally found in the Muscle Space.  This is what happens under the hood for feet when “Foot IK” toggle is enabled in a Mecanim Controller State. In these cases, the retargeted skeleton pose is never very far from the original IK goals. The IK error to fix is small since it is only induced by difference in proportion of humanoid rigs. The IK solver will only modify the retargeted skeleton pose slightly to produce the final pose that matches original positions and orientations. Since the IK only modifies slightly the retargeted skeleton pose, it will rarely induce animation artefacts like knee or elbow popping. Even then, there is a Squash and Stretch solver, part of IK solver, that is there to prevent popping when arms or legs come close to maximum extension. By default the amount of squash and stretch allowed is limited to 5% of the total length of the arm or leg. An elbow or knee popping is more noticeable (and ugly) than a 5% or less stretch on arm or leg. Note that squash and stretch solve can be turned off by setting it to 0%. A more in depth paper about IK rigs will follow. It will explain how to handle props, use multiple IK passes, interaction with environment or between humanoid characters, etc. Optional Bones The Humanoid Rig has some bones that are optional. This is the case for Chest, Neck, Left Shoulder, Right Shoulder, Left Toes and Right Toes. Many existing skeleton rigs don’t have some of the optional bones, but we still wanted to created valid humanoids with those. The Humanoid Rig also supports LeftEye and RightEye optional bones.  Eye bones have two Muscles each, one that goes up and down and one to move in and out. The Eye bones also work with Humanoid Rig LookAt solver that can distribute look at adjustments on Spine, Chest, Neck, Head and Eyes. There will be more about LookAt solver in the upcoming Humanoid IK rig paper. Fingers Finally, the Humanoid Rig supports fingers. Each finger may have 0 to 3 digits. 0 digit simply means that this finger is not defined. The are two Muscles (Stretch and Spread) for the first digit  and one Muscle (Stretch) for 2nd and last digit. Note that there is no solver overhead for fingers when no fingers are defined for a hand. Skeleton rig requirements In-between bones In many case, skeleton rigs will have more bones than the ones defined by the Humanoid Rig. In-between bones are bones that are between humanoid defined bones. For example, a 3rd spine bone in a 3DSMAX Biped will be treated as an in-between bone. Those are supported by Humanoid Rig, but keep in mind that in-between bones won’t get animated. They will stay at their default position and orientation relative to their parent defined in the Humanoid Rig. Standard Hierarchy The skeleton rig must respect a standard hierarchy to be compatible with our Humanoid Rig. The skeleton may have any number of in-between bones between humanoid bones, but it must respect the following pattern: Hips - Upper Leg - Lower Leg - Foot - Toes Hips - Spine - Chest - Neck - Head Chest - Shoulder - Arm - Forearm - Hand Hand - Proximal - Intermediate - Distal The T-Stance The T-Stance is the most important step of Humanoid Rig creation since muscles setup is based on it. The T-Stance pose was chosen as reference pose since it is easy conceptualize and that there is not that much room for interpretation of what it should be: - Standing straight facing z axis - Head and eyes facing z axis - Feet on the ground parallel to z axis - Arms open parallel to the ground along x axis - Hands flat, palm down parallel to the ground along x axis - Fingers straight parallel to the ground along x axis -Thumbs straight parallel to the ground half way (45 degrees) between x and z axis When saying “straight”, it does not mean bones necessarily need to be perfectly aligned. It depends on how skin attaches to skeleton. Some rig may have the skin that looks straight, but underneath skeleton is not. So it is important that the T-Stance be set for final skinned character. In the case you are creating a Humanoid Rig to retarget MOCAP data, it is good practice to capture at least of few frames of a T-Stance done by the actor in the MOCAP suite. Muscle range adjustments By default muscle ranges are set to values that best represent human muscle ranges. Most of the time, they should not be modified. For some more cartoony character you may want to reduce the range to prevent arms entering body or augment it to exaggerate legs motion. If you are creating a Humanoid Rig to retarget MOCAP data you should not modify the ranges since the produced animation clip will not respect default. Retargeting and Animation Clip Mecanim retargeting is split into two phases. The first phase consists of converting a standard skeleton transforms animation to a normalized humanoid animation clip (or Muscle Clip). This phase happens in the editor when the animation file is imported. It is internally called “RetargetFrom”. The second phase happens in play mode when Muscle Clip is evaluated and applied to the skeleton bones of a Humanoid Rig. It is internally called “RetargetTo”.There are two big advantages of splitting retargeting into two phases. The first one is solving speed. Half of the retargeting process is done offline, only the other half is done at runtime. The other advantage is scene complexity and memory usage. Since the Muscle Clip is completely abstracted for its original skeleton, the source skeleton does not need to be included in runtime to perform the retargeting. The second phase is straight forward. Once you have a valid Humanoid Rig, you simply apply Muscle Clip to it with RetargetTo solver. This is done automatically under the hood. The first phase, converting a skeleton animation to a Muscle Clip, may be a bit trickier. The skeleton animation clip is sampled at a fixed rate. For each sample, the skeleton pose is converted to a muscle space pose and a key is added to the Muscle Clip. Not all the skeleton rig will fit, there are so many different ways a skeleton rig can be built and animated. Some skeleton rig will produce a valid output, but with possible loss of information. We will now review what is needed to create a lossless normalized humanoid animation… the Muscle Clip. Note: By lossless we mean that retargeting from a skeleton rig to Muscle Clip and then retargeting back to the same skeleton rig will preserve the animation intact. In fact, it will be almost intact. The original twist on arms and legs will be lost and replaced by what the Twist solver computes. As explained earlier in this document, there is no representation of twist repartition in Muscle Space. The local position of bones must be the same in the humanoid rig and in the animation file. It happens that the skeleton used to create the Humanoid Rig differs from the one in the animation file. Be sure to use exactly the same skeleton. Warnings will be sent to the console at import, if it is not the case. In-between bones must have no animation. This often happen for a 3DSMAX skeleton where the 3rd spine bone has both translation and rotation animation on it. It also happens when Bip001 is used as Hips and that Pelvis has some animation on it. Warnings will be sent to console at import if it is not the case. The local orientation of the in-between bone must be the same in the Humanoid Rig and in the animation file. This may happen when using Humanoid Auto Configure that relies on Skin Bind Pose to create T-Stance. Make sure that Skin Bind Pose rotation for in-between bones is the same that one found in the animation file. Warnings will be sent to console at import if it is not the case. Except for Hips, translation animation is not supported on bones. 3DSMAX Biped sometimes puts translation animation on spine bones. Warnings will be sent to console at imp or if it is not the case. The 3DSMAX Biped is pointed as a problematic rig here. It is probably because of its popularity and the fact that we had to support many cases of it being used with Mecanim. Note that if you are going to create new animations to be used with Mecanim Humanoid Rig, you should follow the rules stated above from the start. If you want to use already existing animation that break some of the rules, it is still possible, the Mecanim retarget solver is robust and will produce valid output, but the lossless conversion can’t be guarantied.

If you want to use already existing animation that breaks some of the rules, it is still possible as the Mecanim retarget solver is robust and will produce valid output, but the lossless conversion can’t be guaranteed.

- [New Best Practice Guide - Memory Management in Unity](https://unity.com/blog/technology/new-best-practice-guide-memory-management-in-unity): Here in Enterprise Support, we get to help out on many projects, with all kinds of combinations of Unity features. What we see is that 10 out of 10 games can improve their memory usage. That’s why we put together our newest best practice guide: Memory Management in Unity. When we go on-site, profiling is always the first order of the day. Whether we’re uncovering coding patterns that add small but unnecessary burdens to the CPU or substantial issues that cause memory fragmentation and Asset duplication, profiling your game early and often is the best way to keep tabs on application health. The most successful teams profile their projects’ memory. Memory is an exceptionally scarce resource (particularly on mobile devices with up to 1GB of memory, which represent 30% of the market today), so it is absolutely essential that you know where your memory is going and why. With memory being managed differently across platforms, it’s not always trivial to understand where memory is being consumed and what influence it has on CPU and GPU performance. But fear not! We’ve created a new best practice guide: Memory Management in Unity. This guide introduces the wide variety of tools available for memory profiling, and dives into the details of how to use them effectively. By using the techniques in this guide in conjunction with the best practices for minimizing memory usage, you will be able to effectively identify and fix problem areas. So you read all of the above and are still itching to dive into more juicy best practices? You’re in luck! While Memory Management in Unity is the latest installment, you can also check out all the other Best Practice Guides we’ve put together, each containing a number of tips and strategies to win back performance and make your project the best it can be: Understanding Optimization in Unity Asset Bundles + Resources Optimizing Unity UI Memory Management in Unity Lighting in Unity Making believable visuals in Unity We update and add to these guides regularly, so be sure to check back once in a while to see what has changed!

Building projects may not be the first thing people think about when they choose Unity, but figuring out how to handle project builds can be a significant problem as projects grow in size and complexity. It’s frustrating when you’re partway into development and you realize you can’t get enough project builds rolling for all the different stakeholders to test at a rate that can keep up with the speed at which a project gets updated. Or worse, you realize your development team has to use their own workstation to build a project and they are losing serious productivity time while waiting for a build to complete.
- [On DOTS: C++ & C#](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/on-dots-c-c): This is a brief introduction to our new Data-Oriented Tech Stack (DOTS), sharing some insights in how and why we got to where we are today, and where we’re going next. We’re planning on posting more about DOTS on this blog in the near future. Let’s talk about C++. The language Unity is written in today. One of many advanced game programmers’ problems at the end of the day is that they need to provide an executable with instructions the target processor can understand, that when executed will run the game. For the performance critical part of our code, we know what we want the final instructions to be. We just want an easy way to describe our logic in a reasonable way, and then trust and verify that the generated instructions are the ones we want. In our opinion, C++ is not great at this task. I want my loop to be vectorized, but a million things can happen that might make the compiler not vectorize it. It might be vectorized today, but not tomorrow if a new seemingly innocent change happens. Just convincing all my C/C++ compilers to vectorize my code at all is hard. We decided to make our own “reasonably comfortable way to generate machine code”, that checks all the boxes that we care about. We could spend a lot of energy trying to bend the C++ design train a little bit more in a direction it would work a little bit better for us, but we’d much rather spend that energy on a toolchain where we can do all of the design, and that we design exactly for the problem that game developers have. What checkboxes do we care about? Performance is correctness. I should be able to say “if this loop for some reason doesn’t vectorize, that should be a compiler error, not a ‘oh code is now just 8x slower but it still produces correct values, no biggy!’” Cross-architecture. The input code I write should not have to be different for when I target iOS than when I target Xbox. We should have a nice iteration loop where I can easily see the machine code that is generated for all architectures as I change my code. The machine code “viewer” should do a good job at teaching/explaining what all these machine instructions do. Safety. Most game developers don’t have safety very high on their priority list, but we think that the fact that it’s really hard to have memory corruption in Unity has been one of its killer features. There should be a mode in which we can run this code that will give us a clear error with a great error message if I read/write out of bounds or dereference null. Ok, so now that we know what things we care about, the next step is to decide on what the input language for this machine code generator is. Let’s say we have the following options: Custom language Some adaption/subset of C or C++ Subset of C# Say What C#? For our most performance critical inner loops? Yes. C# is a very natural choice that comes with a lot of nice benefits for Unity: It’s the language our users already use today. Has great IDE tooling, both editing/refactoring as well as debugging. A C#->intermediate IL compiler already exists (the Roslyn C# compiler from Microsoft), and we can just use it instead of having to write our own. We have a lot of experience modifying intermediate-IL, so it’s easy to do codegen and postprocessing on the actual program. Avoids many of C++’s problems (header inclusion hell, PIMPL patterns, long compile times) I quite enjoy writing code in C# myself. However, traditional C# is not an amazing language from a performance perspective. The C# language team, standard library team, and runtime team have been making great progress in the last two years. Still, when using C# language, you have no control over where/how your data is laid out in memory. And that is exactly what we need to improve performance. On top of that, the standard library is oriented around “objects on the heap”, and “objects having pointer references to other objects”. That said, when working on a piece of performance critical code, we can give up on most of the standard library, (bye Linq, StringFormatter, List, Dictionary), disallow allocations (=no classes, only structs), reflection, the garbage collector and virtual calls, and add a few new containers that you are allowed to use (NativeArray and friends). Then, the remaining pieces of the C# language are looking really good. Check out Aras’s blog for some examples from his path tracer toy project for some examples. This subset lets us comfortably do everything we need in our hot loops. Because it’s a valid subset of C#, we can also run it as a regular C#. We can get errors on out of bounds access, with great error messages, debugger support and compilation speeds you forgot were possible when working in C++. We often refer to this subset as High-Performance C# or HPC#.

- [Profiling with Instruments](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/profiling-with-instruments): In the Enterprise Support team, we see a lot of iOS projects. At some point, in any iOS development, developers often end up running their game and sitting there thinking “Why the hell is this running so slowly?”. There are some great sets of tools for analysing performance out there and, one of the best is Instruments. Read on to find out how to use it to find your issues!    To use Instruments, or any of XCode’s debugging tools, you will need to build a Unity project for the iOS Build Target (with the Development Build and Script Debugging options unchecked). Then you will need to compile the resultant XCode project with XCode in Release mode and deploy it to an attached iOS device. After starting Instruments (by either a long press on the play button, or selecting Products>Profile), select the Time Profiler.

- [Puppo, The Corgi: Cuteness overload with the Unity ML-Agents Toolkit](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/puppo-the-corgi-cuteness-overload-with-the-unity-ml-agents-toolkit): Building a game is a creative process that involves many challenging steps including defining the game concept and logic, building assets and animations, specifying NPC behaviors, tuning difficulty and balance and, finally, testing the game with real players before launch. We believe machine learning can be used across the entire creative process and in today’s blog post we will focus on one of these challenges: specifying the behavior of an NPC. Traditionally, the behavior of an NPC is hard-coded using scripting and behavior trees. These (typically long) lists of rules process information about the surroundings of the NPC (called observations) to dictate its next action. These rules can be time-consuming to write and maintain as the game evolves. Reinforcement learning provides a promising, alternative framework for defining the behavior of an NPC. More specifically, instead of defining the observation to action mapping by hand, you can simply train your NPC by providing it with rewards when it achieves the desired goal.

- [Serialization in Unity](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/serialization-in-unity): In the spirit of sharing more of the tech behind the scenes, and reasons why some things are the way they are, this post contains an overview of Unity's serialization system. Understanding this system very well can have a big impact on the effectiveness of your development, and the performance of the things you make.  Here we go. Serialization of “things” is at the very core of Unity. Many of our features build ontop of the serialization system: Storing data stored in your scripts. This one most people are probably somewhat familiar with. Inspector window. The inspector window doesn’t talk to the C# api to figure out what the values of the properties of whatever it is inspecting is. It asks the object to serialize itself, and then displays the serialized data. Prefabs. Internally, a prefab is the serialized data stream of one (or more) game objects and components. A prefab instance is a list of modifications that should be made on the serialized data for this instance. The concept prefab actually only exists at editor time. The prefab modifications get baked into a normal serialization stream when Unity makes a build, and when that gets instantiated, the instantiated gameobjects have no idea they were a prefab when they lived in the editor. Instantiation. When you call Instantiate() on either a prefab, or a gameobject that lives in the scene, or on anything else for that matter (everything that derives from UnityEngine.Object can be serialized), we serialize the object, then create a new object, and then we “deserialize” the data onto the new object. (We then run the same serialization code again in a different variant, where we use it to report which other UnityEngine.Object’s are being referenced. We then check for all referenced UnityEngine.Object’s if they are part of the data being Instantiated(). If the reference is pointing to something “external” (like a texture) we keep that reference as it is, if it is pointing to something "internal" (like a child gameobject), we patch the reference to the corresponding copy). Saving. If you open a .unity scene file with a text editor, and have set unity to “force text serialization”, we run the serializer with a yaml backend. Loading. Might not seem surprising, but backwards compatible loading is a system that is built on top of serialization as well. In-editor yaml loading uses the serialization system, as well as the runtime loading of scenes and assets. Assetbundles also make use of the serialization system. Hot reloading of editor code. When you change an editor script, we serialize all editor windows (they derive from UnityEngine.Object!), we then destroy all the windows, unload the old c# code, load the new c# code, recreate the windows, and finally deserialize the datastreams of the windows back onto the new windows. Resource.GarbageCollectSharedAssets(). This is our native garbage collector and is different to the C# garbage collector. It is the thing that we run after you load a scene to figure out which things from the previous scene are no longer referenced, so we can unload them. The native garbage collector runs the serializer in a mode where we use it to have objects report all references to external UnityEngine.Objects. This is what makes textures that were used by scene1, get unloaded when you load scene2. The serialization system is written in C++, we use it for all our internal object types (Textures, AnimationClip, Camera, etc). Serialization happens at the UnityEngine.Object level, each UnityEngine.Object is always serialized as a whole. They can contain references to other UnityEngine.Objects and those references get serialized properly. Now you may say that none of this concerns you very much, you’re just happy that it works and want to get on with actually creating some content. However, this will concern you, as we use this same serializer to serialize MonoBehaviour components, which are backed by your scripts. Because of the very high performance requirements that the serializer has, it does not in all cases behave exactly like what a C# developer would expect from a serializer. Here we’ll describe how the serializer works and some best practices on how to make the best use of it. What does a field of my script need to be in order to be serialized? Be public, or have [SerializeField] attribute Not be static Not be const Not be readonly The fieldtype needs to be of a type that we can serialize. Which fieldtypes can we serialize? Custom non abstract classes with [Serializable] attribute. Custom structs with [Serializable] attribute. (new in Unity4.5) References to objects that derive from UntiyEngine.Object Primitive data types (int,float,double,bool,string,etc) Array of a fieldtype we can serialize List<T> of a fieldtype we can serialize So far so good. So what are these situations where the serializer behaves differently from what I expect? Custom classes behave like structs [Serializable] class Animal { public string name; } class MyScript : MonoBehaviour { public Animal[] animals; } If you populate the animals array with three references to a single Animal object, in the serializationstream you will find 3 objects. When it’s deserialized, there are now three different objects. If you need to serialize a complex object graph with references, you cannot rely on Unity’s serializer doing that all automagically for you, and have to do some work to get that object graph serialized yourself. See the example below on how to serialize things Unity doesn't serialize by itself. Note that this is only true for custom classes, as they are serialized “inline” because their data becomes part of the complete serializationdata for the MonoBehaviour they are used in. When you have fields that have a reference to something that is a UnityEngine.Object derived class, like a “public Camera myCamera”, the data from that camera are not serialized inline, and an actual reference to the camera UnityEngine.Object is serialized. No support for null for custom classes Pop quiz. How many allocations are made when deserializing a MonoBehaviour that uses this script: class Test : MonoBehaviour { public Trouble t; } [Serializable] class Trouble { public Trouble t1; public Trouble t2; public Trouble t3; } It wouldn’t be strange to expect 1 allocation, that of the Test object. It also wouldn’t be strange to expect 2 allocations, one for the Test object and one for a Trouble object. The correct answer is 729. The serializer does not support null. If it serializes an object and a field is null, we just instantiate a new object of that type and serialize that. Obviously this could lead to infinite cycles, so we have a relatively magical depth limit of 7 levels. At that point we just stop serializing fields that have types of custom classes/structs and lists and arrays. [1] Since so many of our subsystems build on top of the serialization system, this unexpectedly big serializationstream for the Test monobehaviour will cause all these subsystems to perform more slowly than necessary. When we investigate performance problems in customer projects, we almost always find this problem and we added a warning for this situation in Unity 4.5.  We actually messed up the warning implementation in such a way that it gives you so many warnings, you have no other option but to fix them right away. We'll soon ship a fix for this in a patch release, the warning is not gone, but you will only get one per "entering playmode", so you don't get spammed crazy. You'd still want to fix your code, but you should be able to do it at a time where it suits you. No support for polymorphism If you have a public Animal[] animalsand you put in an instance of a dog, a cat and a giraffe, after serialization, you will have three instances of Animal. One way to deal with this limitation is to realize that it only applies to “custom classes”, which get serialized inline. References to other UnityEngine.Object’s get serialized as actual references and for those, polymorphism does actually work. You’d make a ScriptableObject derived class or another MonoBehaviour derived class, and reference that. The downside of doing this, is that you need to store that monobehaviour or scriptable object somewhere and cannot serialize it inline nicely. The reason for these limitations is that one of the core foundations of the serialization system is that the layout of the datastream for an object is known ahead of time, and depends on the types of the fields of the class, instead of what happens to be stored inside the fields. I want to serialize something that Unity's serializer doesn't support. What do I do? In many cases the best approach is to use serialization callbacks. They allow you to be notified before the serializer reads data from your fields and after it is done writing to them. You can use this to have a different representation of your hard-to-serialize data at runtime than when you actually serialize. You’d use these to transform your data into something Unity understands right before Unity wants to serialize it, you also use it to transform the serialized form back into the form you'd like to have your data in at runtime, right after Unity has written the data to your fields. Let’s say you want to have a tree datastructure. If you let Unity directly serialize the data structure, the “no support for null” limitation would cause your datastream to become very big, leading to performance degradations in many systems: using UnityEngine; using System.Collections.Generic; using System; public class VerySlowBehaviourDoNotDoThis : MonoBehaviour { [Serializable] public class Node { public string interestingValue = "value"; //The field below is what makes the serialization data become huge because //it introduces a 'class cycle'. public List<Node> children = new List<Node>(); } //this gets serialized public Node root = new Node(); void OnGUI() { Display (root); } void Display(Node node) { GUILayout.Label ("Value: "); node.interestingValue = GUILayout.TextField(node.interestingValue, GUILayout.Width(200)); GUILayout.BeginHorizontal (); GUILayout.Space (20); GUILayout.BeginVertical (); foreach (var child in node.children) Display (child); if (GUILayout.Button ("Add child")) node.children.Add (new Node ()); GUILayout.EndVertical (); GUILayout.EndHorizontal (); } } Instead, you tell Unity not to serialize the tree directly, and you make a seperate field to store the tree in a serialized format, suited for Unity’s serializer: using UnityEngine; using System.Collections.Generic; using System; public class BehaviourWithTree : MonoBehaviour, ISerializationCallbackReceiver { //node class that is used at runtime public class Node { public string interestingValue = "value"; public List<Node> children = new List<Node>(); } //node class that we will use for serialization [Serializable] public struct SerializableNode { public string interestingValue; public int childCount; public int indexOfFirstChild; } //the root of what we use at runtime. not serialized. Node root = new Node(); //the field we give unity to serialize. public List<SerializableNode> serializedNodes; public void OnBeforeSerialize() { //unity is about to read the serializedNodes field's contents. lets make sure //we write out the correct data into that field "just in time". serializedNodes.Clear(); AddNodeToSerializedNodes(root); } void AddNodeToSerializedNodes(Node n) { var serializedNode = new SerializableNode () { interestingValue = n.interestingValue, childCount = n.children.Count, indexOfFirstChild = serializedNodes.Count+1 }; serializedNodes.Add (serializedNode); foreach (var child in n.children) AddNodeToSerializedNodes (child); } public void OnAfterDeserialize() { //Unity has just written new data into the serializedNodes field. //let's populate our actual runtime data with those new values. if (serializedNodes.Count > 0) root = ReadNodeFromSerializedNodes (0); else root = new Node (); } Node ReadNodeFromSerializedNodes(int index) { var serializedNode = serializedNodes [index]; var children = new List<Node> (); for(int i=0; i!= serializedNode.childCount; i++) children.Add(ReadNodeFromSerializedNodes(serializedNode.indexOfFirstChild + i)); return new Node() { interestingValue = serializedNode.interestingValue, children = children }; } void OnGUI() { Display (root); } void Display(Node node) { GUILayout.Label ("Value: "); node.interestingValue = GUILayout.TextField(node.interestingValue, GUILayout.Width(200)); GUILayout.BeginHorizontal (); GUILayout.Space (20); GUILayout.BeginVertical (); foreach (var child in node.children) Display (child); if (GUILayout.Button ("Add child")) node.children.Add (new Node ()); GUILayout.EndVertical (); GUILayout.EndHorizontal (); } } Beware that the serializer, including these callbacks coming from the serializer, usually do not run on the main thread, so you are very limited in what you can do in terms of invoking Unity API. (Serialization happening as part of loading a scene happens on a loading thread. Serialization happening as part of you invoking Instantiate() from script happens on the main thread). You can however do the necessary data transformations do get your data from a non-unity-serializer-friendly format to a unity-serializer-friendly-format. You made it to the end! Thanks for reading this far, hope you can put some of this information to good use in your projects. Bye, Lucas. (@lucasmeijer) PS: We'll add all this information to the documentation as well. [1] I lied, the correct answer isn't actually 729. This is because in the very very old days before we had this 7 level depth limit, Unity would just endless loop, and then run out of memory if you created a script like the Trouble one I just wrote. Our very first fix for that 5 years ago was to just not serialize fieldtypes that were of the same type as the class itself. Obviously, this was not the most robust fix, as it's easy to create a cycle using Trouble1->Trouble2->Trouble1->Trouble2 class. So shortly afterwards we actually implemented the 7 level depth limit to catch those cases too. For the point I'm trying to make however it doesn't matter, what matters is that you realize that if there is a cycle you are in trouble.
- [Serialization, MonoBehaviour constructors and Unity 5.4](https://unity.com/blog/technology/serialization-monobehaviour-constructors-and-unity-5-4): The majority of the Unity API should only be called from the main thread, e.g. from Start/Update/etc on MonoBehaviour. Similarly, only a subset of the Unity API should be called from script constructors/field initializers, like Debug.Log or Mathf. As Unity will invoke constructors when creating an instance of a class during deserialization (load), which might run on a non-main thread. These requirements were not strictly enforced in versions of Unity prior to 5.4. Which could lead to crashes, race conditions and issues that were hard to diagnose and reproduce. In Unity 5.4, the new errors will in most cases not throw a managed exception and will not interrupt the execution flow of your scripts. This approach has been taken to reduce the amount of friction caused by upgrading your projects to Unity 5.4. These errors will throw a managed exception in a future release of Unity. We recommend that you fix these errors (if any) in your project when upgrading to 5.4. The new errors are documented in the “Script Serialization Errors” section on the Script Serialization page in the manual. Let’s have a look at the new serialization errors in some common scenarios and how to fix them.

Since there is a lot to unpack in this feature, I wanted to write an additional blog post on it. In essence, there is now an easy way to encourage agents to explore the environment more effectively when the rewards are infrequent and sparsely distributed. These agents can do this using a reward they give themselves based on how surprised they are about the outcome of their actions. In this post, I will explain how this new system works, and then show how we can use it to help our agent solve a task that would otherwise be much more difficult for a vanilla Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithm to solve.

- [Spectating VR](https://unity.com/blog/games/spectating-vr): A fun game experience is something that players want to show off, record, and share. With VR, seeing what the player sees on a single, rectangular screen doesn’t always convey the entire feeling. This means that spectators can often find the default ‘seeing through a player’s POV’ experience underwhelming. What I wanted to do was set up a simple starter system for how a spectator camera should work and to add a little more fun for those not in the VR experience themselves.  Fortunately, there have been a few shipped examples that successfully designed a good spectator view. The goal of this project was to come up with a spectator system that builds on those designs, is compact and portable, and can easily be integrated into your own projects.

I get to hear many stories from all across the industry and can identify common issues that content creators are facing. Several of the projects I have worked on aimed for fairly realistic visuals. Given the project’s art contents, how do we make a scene in Unity that will look believable? There are a multitude of topics that need to be covered in order to make believable visuals. In this post I’m going to discuss lighting and render settings. Further down the post I’ll also share our Spotlight Tunnel Sample Scene and explain how you can use it to learn and experiment.
- [Spotlight Team best practices: Optimizing the hierarchy](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/best-practices-from-the-spotlight-team-optimizing-the-hierarchy): On the Spotlight Team, we work with the most ambitious Unity developers to try to push the boundary of what a Unity game can be. We see all sorts of innovative and brilliant solutions for complex graphics, performance, and design problems. We also see the same set of issues and solutions coming up again and again. This blog series is going to look at some of the most frequent problems we encounter while working with our clients. These are lessons hard won by the teams we have worked with, and we are proud to be able to share their wisdom with all our users. Many of these problems only become obvious once you are working on a console or a phone, or are dealing with huge amounts of game content. If you take these lessons into consideration early in the development cycle, you can make your life easier and your game much more ambitious.

- [Stripping scriptable shader variants](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/stripping-scriptable-shader-variants): Massively reduce Player build time and data size by allowing developers to control which Shader variants are handled by the Unity Shader compiler and included in the Player data. Player build time and data size increase along with the complexity of your project because of the rising number of shader variants. With scriptable shader variants stripping, introduced in 2018.2 beta, you can manage the number of shader variants generated and therefore drastically reduce Player build time and data size. This feature allows you to strip all the shader variants with invalid code paths, strip shader variants for unused features or create shader build configurations such as “debug” and “release” without affecting iteration time or maintenance complexity. In this blog post, we first define some of the terms we use. Then we focus on the definition of shader variants to explain why we can generate so many. This is followed by a description of automatic shader variants stripping and how scriptable shader variants stripping is implemented in the Unity shader pipeline architecture. Then, we look at the scriptable shader variants stripping API before discussing results on the Fountainbleau demo and concluding with some tips on writing stripping scripts. Learning scriptable shader variants stripping is not a trivial undertaking, but it can lead to a massive increase in team efficiency!

- [Teleporter demo](https://unity.com/blog/technology/teleporter-demo): We'd like to share with you a project that was built during the R&D period of the Physically Based Shader and Reflection probes. This benchmark project is one among several which helped us identify what improvements of functionality were necessary from an artist’s production perspective. We compared offline to realtime rendering methods and output with the aim to achieve both an increase of visual quality, and a better streamlined, smoother production workflow for artists, which will open playful possibilities for graphics to be extended beyond realism to stylism. The demo uses the Standard PBR shader and displays a range of shiny and rough metallic, plastic and ceramic materials, which naturally use the new native cubemap reflections (or HDR reflection probes). The material output in the movie is at a prototype stage and the shader is still evolving. The textures consistently changed throughout the process as the shader evolved. In total, it is composed of 30 texture sets or so, both manually authored and procedurally generated textures. At this point, scanned textures were not used whatsoever. Typically, a texture set consists of albedo, specular, gloss, occlusion and a normal map and the sizes range between 256px to 4k. Background surfaces demanded less surface detail and amount of textures. In some cases, we casually created materials by pushing sliders to adjust color and float values until it matched the references. The secondary (detail-map) slots give a layer of dust, cracks, and crevices on the surfaces, which can be spotted on the close-up camera shots. The heated up revolving core is achieved by simply animating emissive values and combining the results with HDR bloom to give a glowing hot impression. The cave is a large scaled environment and the 100 meter tall machine itself was used intentionally to challenge performance and to serve as a lighting benchmark. This asked for a variety of convoluted HDR reflection probes/cubemaps to be placed along its body that could adapt during the changes of light that gradually diminishes towards the bottom of the cave and when the heated core lights up. Certain elements use real-time reflections while many are kept to static reflections. The application of the HDR reflection probes remains true to Unity’s ideology of keeping workflows simplified and are nearly effortless to apply and use. The background scene uses directional lightmaps, while the machine is composed of partly skinned- and dynamic meshes that are hooked up to light probes and use Image-Based Lighting and a variety of light sources. To be able to see the output of the shader during production, it is crucial to have HDR rendering represented in the sceneview. We are most excited to share this short film with you and are impatient to see what our talented community can produce with the new set of tools which is coming. We are looking forward to seeing  artists amaze us with their limitless creativity.

In this blog post, we provide an overview of self-play and demonstrate how it enables stable and effective training on the Soccer demo environment in the ML-Agents Toolkit. The Tennis and Soccer example environments of the Unity ML-Agents Toolkit pit agents against one another as adversaries. Training agents in this type of adversarial scenario can be quite challenging. In fact, in previous releases of the ML-Agents Toolkit, reliably training agents in these environments required significant reward engineering. In version 0.14, we have enabled users to train agents in games via reinforcement learning (RL) from self-play, a mechanism fundamental to a number of the most high profile results in RL such as OpenAI Five and DeepMind’s AlphaStar. Self-play uses the agent’s current and past ‘selves’ as opponents. This provides a naturally improving adversary against which our agent can gradually improve using traditional RL algorithms. The fully trained agent can be used as competition for advanced human players. Self-play provides a learning environment analogous to how humans structure competition. For example, a human learning to play tennis would train against opponents of similar skill level because an opponent that is too strong or too weak is not as conducive to learning the game. From the standpoint of improving one’s skills, it would be far more valuable for a beginner-level tennis player to compete against other beginners than, say, against a newborn child or Novak Djokovic. The former couldn’t return the ball, and the latter wouldn’t serve them a ball they could return. When the beginner has achieved sufficient strength, they move on to the next tier of tournament play to compete with stronger opponents.   In this blog post, we give some technical insight into the dynamics of self-play as well as provide an overview of our Tennis and Soccer example environments that have been refactored to showcase self-play.
- [Training your agents 7 times faster with ML-Agents](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/training-your-agents-7-times-faster-with-ml-agents): In v0.9 and v0.10 of ML-Agents, we introduced a series of features aimed at decreasing training time, namely Asynchronous Environments, Generative Adversarial Imitation Learning (GAIL), and Soft Actor-Critic. With our partner JamCity, we previously showed that the parallel Unity instance feature introduced in v0.8 of ML-Agents enabled us to train agents for their bubble shooter game, Snoopy Pop, 7.5x faster than with a single instance. In this blog post, we will explain how v0.9 and v0.10 build on those results and show that we can decrease Snoopy Pop training time by an additional 7x, enabling more performant agents to be trained in a reasonable time. The purpose of the Unity ML-Agents Toolkit is to enable game developers to create complex and interesting behaviors for both playable and non-playable characters using Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL). DRL is a powerful and general tool that can be used to learn a variety of behaviors, from physics-based characters to puzzle game solvers. However, DRL requires a large volume of gameplay data to learn effective behaviors– a problem for real games that are typically constrained in how much they can be sped up. Several months ago, with the release of ML-Agents v0.8, we introduced the ability for ML-Agents to run multiple Unity instances of a game on a single machine, dramatically increasing the throughput of training samples (i.e., the agent’s observations, actions, and rewards) that we can collect during training. We partnered with JamCity to train an agent to play levels of their Snoopy Pop puzzle game. Using the parallel environment feature of v0.8, we were able to achieve up to 7.5x training speed up on harder levels of Snoopy Pop. But parallel environments will only go so far—there is a limit to how many concurrent Unity instances can be run on a single machine. To improve training time on resource-constrained machines, we had to find another way. In general, there are two ways to improve training time: increase the number of samples gathered per second (sample throughput), or reduce the number of samples required to learn good behavior (sample efficiency). Consequently, in v0.9, we improved our parallel trainer to gather samples asynchronously, thereby increasing sample throughput. Furthermore, we added Generative Adversarial Imitation Learning (GAIL), which enables the use of human demonstrations to guide the learning process, thus improving sample efficiency. Finally, in v0.10, we introduced Soft Actor-Critic (SAC), a trainer that has substantially higher sample efficiency than the Proximal Policy Optimization trainer in v0.8. These changes together improved training time by another 7 times on a single machine. For Snoopy Pop, this meant that we were not only able to create agents that solve levels but agents that solved them in the same # of steps as a human player. With the increased sample throughput and efficiency, we were able to train multiple levels of Snoopy Pop on a single machine, which previously required multiple days of training on a cluster of machines. This blog post will detail the improvements made in each subsequent version of ML-Agents, and how they affected the results in Snoopy Pop.

For others, coming from desktop or the WebPlayer, this has never been an issue until now. Targeting console platforms is relatively easy in this respect, since you know exactly how much memory is available. That allows you to budget your memory and your content is guaranteed to run. On mobile platforms things are a bit more complicated because of the many different devices out there, but at least you can choose the lowest specs and decide to blacklist lower-end devices at the marketplace level. On the Web, you simply can’t. Ideally, all end-users had 64-bit browsers and tons of memory but that’s far from reality. On top of that, there is no way to know the specs of the hardware your content is running on. You know the OS, Browser and not much more. Lastly, the end-user might be running your WebGL content as well as other web pages. That’s why this is a tough problem.

- [Unity 2017.3 is here](https://unity.com/blog/engine-platform/unity-2017-3-is-here): 2017.3 completes the 2017 cycle introducing several new features and improvements across the board for both artists and developers. We’re excited to share all the great new and improved features available today with Unity 2017.3. Before drilling down into the details, though, we wanted to look back at Unity 2017. (If you can’t wait, just jump straight to the What’s new section below.) With the new Unity 2017 cycle, we doubled down on our effort to help artists, designers and developers create and collaborate more efficiently. Powerful visual tools like Timeline, Cinemachine and Unity FBX Exporter free artists to do more. We continued to improve graphics quality and runtime performance to help you stay ahead of the curve on the latest emerging platforms (desktop, console, mobile, VR, AR, smart TVs) and to take advantage of the latest GPU and native Graphics APIs. A great example of this is the award-winning Adam demo-film series. Other features, like the updated 2D tools and Unity Teams, help you get better results, faster. Finally, we’ve given you new ways to use powerful data (in the Ads, IAP and Live-Ops Analytics solutions) to optimize game performance in real-time and maximize your revenue. Unity 2017.1, 2017.2 and 2017.3 delivered many key features supporting these goals. Here’s a summarized recap:
- [Unity 2019.3 is now available](https://unity.com/blog/technology/unity-2019-3-is-now-available): This release features a brand-new Editor interface, new Input System, faster in-Editor iteration time and lots of other improvements. The High Definition Render Pipeline and many 2D packages are now verified for 2019.3.  Regardless if you work in games, entertainment, automotive, architecture, or any other industry, the Unity 2019.3 TECH stream release has something for you. Read this post for the highlights and then visit the 2019.3 webpage for details on each feature area. The website collects the related technical talks from Unite Copenhagen, the latest tutorials, documentation on how to get started, and much more. If you are in pre-production or simply want to get your hands on all the latest features now, you can begin downloading the full release from our update page. For those of you who have projects in production or want to update live projects, we highly recommend waiting for the 2019.4 Long-Term Support (LTS) release. Unity 2019.4 LTS will ship this spring.  It will have the same feature set as Unity 2019.3. The difference is that while the TECH stream offers you the latest features and improvements, in the LTS releases we focus entirely on stability and quality. We only add fixes that address crashes, regressions, and issues that affect the wider community. That means Integrated Success Services customer issues, console SDK/XDK issues, or any major changes that would prevent many of you from shipping your game. The LTS release is supported for two years, with biweekly updates providing further fixes, and is intended for projects beyond pre-production.

- [Unity and Anime Studio Pro: The Making of Monster Mingle](https://unity.com/blog/games/unity-and-anime-studio-pro-the-making-of-monster-mingle): When Chris O’Shea and the team at Cowly Owl had the idea for their recent game Monster Mingle, they realized that their vision requires really powerful animation tools. The team decided to use Anime Studio Pro on this project, because the new FBX export feature allowed them to bring the animations into Unity using rigged skinned meshes, rather than sprite based frames. Using animated files, Cowly Owl added expressive, fluid movement to the game. Chris shared with us his team’s Anime Studio and Unity workflow. Monster Mingle is Cowly Owl’s digital toy that lets children create their own monster, exploring a magical world full of creatures and surprises. It was created in part by Chris O’Shea with illustration & character design by Nick Stoney, animation by Wip Vernooij and sound by Resonate. First step of Cowly Owl’s workflow was rigging and animating the characters in Anime Studio Pro. Then they  imported the FBX files into Unity. After that, they trimmed the animations in the import setting and added scripts to the animation timeline to control events and sounds. Where they could, they used Mesh Baker to convert the multiple meshes per model into one mesh and sprite sheet to cut down draw calls. Chris and Wip also used a double sided unlit shader on the models, so that they could be flipped in the game. Screenshot of a monster in Anime Studio side by side with Unity:

- [Unity Serialization](https://unity.com/blog/technology/unity-serialization): So you are writing a really cool editor extension in Unity and things seem to be going really well. You get your data structures all sorted out are really happy with how the tool you have written works. Then you enter and exit play mode. Suddenly all the data you had entered is gone and your tool is reset to the default, just initialized state. It’s very frustrating! “Why does this happen?” you ask yourself. The reason has to do with how the managed (mono) layer of Unity works. Once you understand it, then things get much easier :) What happens when an assembly is reloaded? When you enter / exit play mode or change a script Unity has to reload the mono assemblies, that is the dll's associated with Unity. On the user side this is a 3 step process: Pull all the serializable data out of managed land, creating an internal representation of the data on the C++ side of Unity. Destroy all memory / information associated with the managed side of Unity, and reload the assemblies. Reserialize the data that was saved in C++ back into managed land. What this means is that for your data structures / information to survive an assembly reload you need to ensure that it can get serialized into and out of c++ memory properly. Doing this also means that (with some minor modifications) you can save this data structure to an asset file and reload it at a later date. How do I work with Unity's serialization? The easiest way to learn about Unity serialization is by working through an example. We are going to start with a simple editor window, it contains a reference to a class which we want to make survive an assembly reload. using UnityEngine; using UnityEditor; public class MyWindow : EditorWindow { private SerializeMe m_SerialziedThing; [MenuItem ("Window/Serialization")] static void Init () { GetWindow (); } void OnEnable () { hideFlags = HideFlags.HideAndDontSave; if (m_SerialziedThing == null) m_SerialziedThing = new SerializeMe (); } void OnGUI () { GUILayout.Label ("Serialized Things", EditorStyles.boldLabel); m_SerialziedThing.OnGUI (); } }using UnityEditor; public struct NestedStruct { private float m_StructFloat; public void OnGUI () { m_StructFloat = EditorGUILayout.FloatField("Struct Float", m_StructFloat); } } public class SerializeMe { private string m_Name; private int m_Value; private NestedStruct m_Struct; public SerializeMe () { m_Struct = new NestedStruct(); m_Name = ""; } public void OnGUI () { m_Name = EditorGUILayout.TextField( "Name", m_Name); m_Value = EditorGUILayout.IntSlider ("Value", m_Value, 0, 10); m_Struct.OnGUI (); } }When you run this and force an assembly reload you will notice that any value in the window you have changed will not survive. This is because when the assembly is reloaded the reference to the ‘m_SerialziedThing’ is gone. It is not marked up to be serialized. There are a few things that need to be done to make this serialization work properly: In MyWindow.cs: The field ‘m_SerializedThing’ needs to have the attribute [SerializeField] added to it. What this tells Unity is that it should attempt to serialize this field on assembly reload or similar events. In SerializeMe.cs: The class ‘SerializeMe’ needs to have the [Serializable] attribute added to it. This tells Unity that the class is serializable. The struct ‘NestedStruct’ needs to have the [Serializable] attribute added to it. Each (non public) field that you want to be serialized needs to have the [SerializeField] attribute added to it. After adding these flags open the window and modify the fields. You will notice that after an assembly reload that the fields retain their values; that is apart from the field that came from the struct. This brings up the first important point, structs are not very well supported for serialization. Changing ‘NestedStruct’ from a struct to a class fixes this issue. The code now looks like this: using UnityEngine; using UnityEditor; public class MyWindow : EditorWindow { private SerializeMe m_SerialziedThing; [MenuItem ("Window/Serialization")] static void Init () { GetWindow (); } void OnEnable () { hideFlags = HideFlags.HideAndDontSave; if (m_SerialziedThing == null) m_SerialziedThing = new SerializeMe (); } void OnGUI () { GUILayout.Label ("Serialized Things", EditorStyles.boldLabel); m_SerialziedThing.OnGUI (); } } using System; using UnityEditor; using UnityEngine; [Serializable] public class NestedStruct { [SerializeField] private float m_StructFloat; public void OnGUI () { m_StructFloat = EditorGUILayout.FloatField("Struct Float", m_StructFloat); } } [Serializable] public class SerializeMe { [SerializeField] private string m_Name; [SerializeField] private int m_Value; [SerializeField] private NestedStruct m_Struct; public SerializeMe () { m_Struct = new NestedStruct(); m_Name = ""; } public void OnGUI () { m_Name = EditorGUILayout.TextField( "Name", m_Name); m_Value = EditorGUILayout.IntSlider ("Value", m_Value, 0, 10); m_Struct.OnGUI (); } }Some Serialization Rules Avoid structs Classes you want to be serializable need to be marked with [Serializable] Public fields are serialized (so long as they reference a [Serializable] class) Private fields are serialized under some circumstances (editor). Mark private fields as [SerializeField] if you wish them to be serialized. [NonSerialized] exists for fields that you do not want to serialize. Scriptable Objects So far we have looked at using normal classes when it comes to serialization. Unfortunately using plain classes has some issues when it comes to serialization in Unity. Lets take a look at an example. using System; using UnityEditor; using UnityEngine; [Serializable] public class NestedClass { [SerializeField] private float m_StructFloat; public void OnGUI() { m_StructFloat = EditorGUILayout.FloatField("Float", m_StructFloat); } } [Serializable] public class SerializeMe { [SerializeField] private NestedClass m_Class1; [SerializeField] private NestedClass m_Class2; public void OnGUI () { if (m_Class1 == null) m_Class1 = new NestedClass (); if (m_Class2 == null) m_Class2 = m_Class1; m_Class1.OnGUI(); m_Class2.OnGUI(); } }This is a contrived example to show a very specific corner case of the Unity serialization system that can catch you if you are not careful. You will notice that we have two fields of type NestedClass. The first time the window is drawn it will show both the fields, and as m_Class1 and m_Class2 point to the same reference, modifying one will modify the other. Now try reloading the assembly by entering and exiting play mode... The references have been decoupled. This is due to how serialization works when you mark a class as simply [Serializable] When you are serializing standard classes Unity walks through the fields of the class and serializes each one individually, even if the reference is shared between multiple fields. This means that you could have the same object serialized multiple times, and on deserialization the system will not know they are really the same object. If you are designing a complex system this is a frustrating limitation because it means that complex interactions between classes can not be captured properly. Enter ScriptableObjects! ScriptableObjects are a type of class that correctly serializes as references, so that they only get serialized once. This allows complex class interactions to be stored in a way that you would expect. Internally in Unity ScriptableObjects and MonoBehaviours are the same; in userland code you can have a ScriptableObject that is not attached to a GameObject; this is different to how MonoBehaviour works. They are great for general data structure serialization. Let’s modify the example to be able to handle serialization properly: using System; using UnityEditor; using UnityEngine; [Serializable] public class NestedClass : ScriptableObject { [SerializeField] private float m_StructFloat; public void OnEnable() { hideFlags = HideFlags.HideAndDontSave; } public void OnGUI() { m_StructFloat = EditorGUILayout.FloatField("Float", m_StructFloat); } } [Serializable] public class SerializeMe { [SerializeField] private NestedClass m_Class1; [SerializeField] private NestedClass m_Class2; public SerializeMe () { m_Class1 = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance (); m_Class2 = m_Class1; } public void OnGUI () { m_Class1.OnGUI(); m_Class2.OnGUI(); } }The three changes of note here are that: NestedClass is now a ScriptableObject. We create an instance using the CreateInstance<> function instead of calling the constructor. We also set the hide flags... this will be explained later These simple changes mean that the instance of the NestedClass will only be serialized once, with each of the references to the class pointing to the same one. ScriptableObject Initialization So now we know that for complex data structures where external referencing is needed it is a good idea to use ScriptableObjects. But what is the correct way to work with ScriptableObjects from user code? The first thing to examine is HOW scriptable objects are initialized, especially from the Unity serialization system. The constructor is called on the ScriptableObject. Data is serialized into the object from the c++ side of unity (if such data exists). OnEnable() is called on the ScriptableObject. Working with this knowledge there are some things that we can say: Doing initialization in the constructor isn’t a very good idea as data will potentially be overridden by the serialization system. Serialization happens AFTER construction, so we should do our configuration stuff after serialization. OnEnable() seems like the best candidate for initialization. Lets make some changes to the ‘SerializeMe’ class so that it is a ScriptableObject. This will allow us to see the correct initialization pattern for ScriptableObjects. // also updated the Window to call CreateInstance instead of the constructor using System; using UnityEngine; [Serializable] public class SerializeMe : ScriptableObject { [SerializeField] private NestedClass m_Class1; [SerializeField] private NestedClass m_Class2; public void OnEnable () { hideFlags = HideFlags.HideAndDontSave; if (m_Class1 == null) { m_Class1 = CreateInstance (); m_Class2 = m_Class1; } } public void OnGUI () { m_Class1.OnGUI(); m_Class2.OnGUI(); } }On the surface it seems that we have not really changed this class much, it now inherits from ScriptableObject and instead of using a constructor has an OnEnable(). The important part to take note of is slightly more subtle... OnEnable() is called AFTER serialization; because of this we can see if the [SerializedFields] are null or not. If they are null it indicates that this is the first initialization, and we need to construct the instances. If they are not null then they have been loaded into memory, and do NOT need to be constructed. It is common in OnEnable() to also call a custom Initialization function to configure any private / non serialized fields on the object, much like you would do in a constructor. HideFlags In the examples using ScriptableObjects you will notice that we are setting the ‘hideFlags’ on the object to HideFlags.HideAndDontSave. This is a special setup that is required when writing custom data structures that have no root in the scene. This is to get around how scene loading works in Unity. When a scene is loaded internally unity calls Resources.UnloadUnusedAssets. If nothing is referencing an asset the garbage collector will find it. The GC uses the scene as ‘the root’ and traverses the hierarchy to see what can get GC’d. Setting the HideAndDontSave flag on a ScriptableObject tells Unity to consider that object as a root object. Because of this it will not just disappear because of an assembly reload. The object can still be destroyed by calling Destroy(). Some ScriptableObject Rules ScriptableObjects will only be serialized once, allowing you to use references properly. Use OnEnable to initialize ScriptableObjects. Don’t ever call the constructor of a ScriptableObject, use CreatInstance instead For nested data structures that are only referenced once don’t use ScriptableObject as they have more overhead. If your scriptable object is not rooted in the scene set the hideFlags to HideAndDontSave. Concrete Array Serialization Lets have a look at a simple example that serializes a range of concrete classes. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEditor; using UnityEngine; [Serializable] public class BaseClass { [SerializeField] private int m_IntField; public void OnGUI() {m_IntField = EditorGUILayout.IntSlider ("IntField", m_IntField, 0, 10);} } [Serializable] public class SerializeMe : ScriptableObject { [SerializeField] private List m_Instances; public void OnEnable () { hideFlags = HideFlags.HideAndDontSave; if (m_Instances == null) m_Instances = new List (); } public void OnGUI () { foreach (var instance in m_Instances) instance.OnGUI (); if (GUILayout.Button ("Add Simple")) m_Instances.Add (new BaseClass ()); } }This basic example has a list of BaseClasses, by clicking the ‘Add Simple’ button it creates an instance and adds it to the list. Due to the SerializeMe class being configured properly for serialization (as discussed before) it ‘just works’. Unity sees that the List is marked for serialization and serializes each of the List elements. General Array Serialization Lets modify the example to serialize a list that contains members of a base class and child class: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEditor; using UnityEngine; [Serializable] public class BaseClass { [SerializeField] private int m_IntField; public virtual void OnGUI() { m_IntField = EditorGUILayout.IntSlider("IntField", m_IntField, 0, 10); } } [Serializable] public class ChildClass : BaseClass { [SerializeField] private float m_FloatField; public override void OnGUI() { base.OnGUI (); m_FloatField = EditorGUILayout.Slider("FloatField", m_FloatField, 0f, 10f); } } [Serializable] public class SerializeMe : ScriptableObject { [SerializeField] private List m_Instances; public void OnEnable () { if (m_Instances == null) m_Instances = new List (); hideFlags = HideFlags.HideAndDontSave; } public void OnGUI () { foreach (var instance in m_Instances) instance.OnGUI (); if (GUILayout.Button ("Add Base")) m_Instances.Add (new BaseClass ()); if (GUILayout.Button ("Add Child")) m_Instances.Add (new ChildClass ()); } }The example has been extended so that there is now a ChildClass, but we are serializing using the BaseClass. If you create a few instance of the ChildClass and the BaseClass they will render properly. Issues arise when they are placed through an assembly reload. After the reload completes every instance will be a BaseClass, with all the ChildClass information stripped. The instances are being sheared by the serialization system. The way to work around this limitation of the serialization system is to once again use ScriptableObjects: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; using UnityEditor; [Serializable] public class MyBaseClass : ScriptableObject { [SerializeField] protected int m_IntField; public void OnEnable() { hideFlags = HideFlags.HideAndDontSave; } public virtual void OnGUI () { m_IntField = EditorGUILayout.IntSlider("IntField", m_IntField, 0, 10); } } [Serializable] public class ChildClass : MyBaseClass { [SerializeField] private float m_FloatField; public override void OnGUI() { base.OnGUI (); m_FloatField = EditorGUILayout.Slider("FloatField", m_FloatField, 0f, 10f); } } [Serializable] public class SerializeMe : ScriptableObject { [SerializeField] private List m_Instances; public void OnEnable () { if (m_Instances == null) m_Instances = new List(); hideFlags = HideFlags.HideAndDontSave; } public void OnGUI () { foreach (var instance in m_Instances) instance.OnGUI (); if (GUILayout.Button ("Add Base")) m_Instances.Add(CreateInstance()); if (GUILayout.Button ("Add Child")) m_Instances.Add(CreateInstance()); } }After running this, changing some values, and reloading assemblies you will notice that ScriptableObjects are safe to use in arrays even if you are serializing derived types. The reason is that when you serialize a standard [Serializable] class it is serialized ‘in place’, but a ScriptableObject is serialized externally and the reference inserted into the collection. The shearing occurs because the type can not be properly be serialized as the serialization system thinks it is of the base type. Serializing Abstract Classes So now we have seen that it’s possible to serialize a general list (so long as the members are of type ScriptableObject). Lets see how abstract classes behave: using System; using UnityEditor; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; [Serializable] public abstract class MyBaseClass : ScriptableObject { [SerializeField] protected int m_IntField; public void OnEnable() { hideFlags = HideFlags.HideAndDontSave; } public abstract void OnGUI (); } [Serializable] public class ChildClass : MyBaseClass { [SerializeField] private float m_FloatField; public override void OnGUI() { m_IntField = EditorGUILayout.IntSlider("IntField", m_IntField, 0, 10); m_FloatField = EditorGUILayout.Slider("FloatField", m_FloatField, 0f, 10f); } } [Serializable] public class SerializeMe : ScriptableObject { [SerializeField] private List m_Instances; public void OnEnable () { if (m_Instances == null) m_Instances = new List(); hideFlags = HideFlags.HideAndDontSave; } public void OnGUI () { foreach (var instance in m_Instances) instance.OnGUI (); if (GUILayout.Button ("Add Child")) m_Instances.Add(CreateInstance()); } }This code much like the previous example works. But it IS dangerous. Lets see why. The function CreateInstance<>() expects a type that inherits from ScriptableObject, the class ‘MyBaseClass’ does in fact inherit from ScriptableObject. This means that it’s possible to add an instance of the abstract class MyBaseClass to the m_Instances array. If you do this and then try and access an abstract method bad things will happen because there is no implementation of that function. In this specific case that would be the OnGUI method. Using abstract classes as the serialized type for lists and fields DOES work, so long as they inherit from ScriptableObject, but it is not a recommended practice. Personally I think it’s better to use concrete classes with empty virtual methods. This ensures that things will not go bad for you. When do ScriptableObjects get persisted into scene / prefab files? GameObjects and their components are saved into a scene by default. Asset types (Materials / Meshes / AnimationClip / SerializedObject's) that are created from code are saved in the scene so long as a game object or their components in the scene references it. Asset types can also be explicitly marked as assets using AssetDatabase.CreateAsset. In that case they will not be saved in the scene but simply referenced. If an asset type or game object type is marked as HideAndDontSave it also not saved in the scene. Questions?

The intermediate videos broaden your knowledge a step further by taking you from how to create properties, to using events to create a broadcast system; the building blocks you’ll need for your first Unity game and beyond as you foray further into your game development journey. Hiding in the background of the videos, you’ll see a sneak peek of another update. If you’re familiar with the previous Scripting videos, you’ll remember the Robot Lab environment used to show effects such as blasting doors from frames, moving a robot car around or firing projectiles from a bazooka. Included in our updated videos, we’ve upgraded to RoboLab 2.0, with a few new faces. Have a look at the trailer for a more visual (studio) explanation or go straight to the Unity Learn site to check out the beginner and intermediate level videos.

On the Unity side, that means many changes have gone into the engine, both new features and optimizations, as well as WebGL2.0 graphics API support and an updated emscripten. What to expect then? Given what we mentioned in the WebAssembly blog post, we expect Unity WebGL to perform better and load faster compared to the last time we ran the Benchmark using asm.js.

- [Lessons learned in Building a Digital Landfill Twin](https://unity.com/resources/lessons-learned-in-building-a-digital-landfill-twin): The project was born out of a landfill tour that Phil with SCS invited Bryan to attend one Saturday just for fun. Bryan, who has a background working and developing projects in Unity had an idea based on what was shown on that tour and it had to do with the data being collected from under the ground. The question was, How are they using that data and is it useful for them? It became apparent that the current techniques for inputting and understanding the data were not giving the engineers at SCS information that was easily understandable or accurate as we found out later after making the project. The thought was if we rendered the data in a more immersive and interactive way that the engineers would be able to glean more information from the data they collect. The project became a reality after Bryan spent a weekend creating a basic prototype in Unity so that SCS could visually see the idea for themselves. The prototype was enough to convince SCS that the idea had merit and at that point Mehr Imaging and SCS partnered up to make the project a reality. Bryan recruited one of his partners at Sirenix who is a more accomplished Unity programmer and they took the project from a prototype to a real working project. Now that the project is live and being used, SCS has a much better and more accurate understanding of what is happening under the ground with the Landfills they manage across the nation. The presentation will of course contain all the beautiful details of how this all works and came to be.

- [Virtual Reality Surgical Simulation Suite (VR3S)](https://unity.com/resources/virtual-reality-surgical-simulation-suite): Virtual surgical planning is defined as the development of a personalized, preoperative surgical plan using an interactive 3D anatomic digital twin of a patient’s heart created from CT or MRI. With rapid advances in digital technology, surgeons can now manipulate these anatomic digital twins in an immersive VR environment – which has all but replaced 3D printed heart models at several academic institutions. Even in the early stages of adoption, there has been evidence to suggest this more detailed and personalized approach to surgical planning will greatly improve individual patient outcomes. Yet, there remains a significant barrier to adoption because simple-to-use VR solutions developed specifically for surgeons do not exist. Our internal development team at Cincinnati Children’s created the Virtual Reality Surgical Simulation Suite (VR3S) to address this barrier to entry, with an initial focus on congenital heart surgery (CHS) – one of the most complex surgical specialties in modern surgery.
