Important notes for Unity 2019.3.0f3

Models From Blender

• When importing models from Blender, always use the following commands: A > R > X > -90 > CTRL + A > Apply rotation and scale. When Unity imports this fbx or blend file, it will add +90 on the X axis making it 0 in the inspector which is what we need to be able to paint the object on the terrain.

Input System

• Input.GetKeyDown() and Input.GetKeyUp() will only return true on the frame that the KeyCode given is pressed down and unpressed respectively. If you want to know if a key is being held down use Input.GetKey()

Terrain

• You cannot use PolyBrush with the Unity Terrain System.
• You cannot have random tree rotation with a tree that does not have a LOD group component.

Post Processing

• In order to use Post Processing while using the URP (Universal Render Pipeline):
  1. Go to Window -> Package Manager.
  2. Click on Advanced -> Show Preview Packages.
  3. Scroll down to Post Processing.
  4. Click Install.
  5. Go to the Main Camera in the scene and open the Rendering tab under the Camera component.
  6. Enable Post Processing.
  7. Click on Add Component -> Volume.
  8. Create a new profile or use an existing one.
  9. Add Override -> Whatever Post Processing effect you want until you achieve the look you're trying to achive for your game.
