Useful Unity Packages

GLTFast

GLTFast is a package that allows you to import .gltf and .glb assets into a Unity project. This can be done with other tools such as UniVRM, but this is included within the Unity eco-system.

• Go to the Package Manager window

  • If it is not enabled, go to 'Window / Package Manager'.

• Go to the top left and select the '+' symbol pulldown.

• Select 'Add package by name...'

• Enter 'com.unity.cloud.gltfast' and select 'Add'.

Unity Shader Graph

The Unity Shader Graph is now compatible with the Built in render pipeline. This is similar to Amplify and Shader Forge in that you can create custom shaders using node graphs.

• Go to the Package Manager window

  • If it is not enabled, go to 'Window / Package Manager'.

• Go to the top left and make sure 'Unity Registry' is selected under the 'Packages' pulldown.

• Scroll down and select 'Shader Graph'.

• Select 'Install' to the top right of the Package Manager window.
