Debug.Assert expects you to enter a condition and lets you print an error message to the console if the condition you entered returns false.
Assertions are often a better choice than a Debug.Log call.

Remember occlusion culling? Boost performance trough a spatial structure to determine visibility?
It became a lot easier in Unity 6 with GPU occlusion culling.
Set up the GPU resident drawer and enable GPU occlusion culling in the URP renderer!

WIth #Unity6 the introduced their very own take: Spatial Temporal Upscaling, STP in short.
Enable it in your URP Asset. Check the image for render scale comparisons.

LOD Bias helps balance between visual quality and performance by shifting the distances at which different LODs are used:
Higher Bias = more detail at a distance
(better visuals, more processing)
Lower Bias = less detail closer up
(better performance)

Manage shader variants!
Keywords like "multi_compile" are always included in your build.
Use "shader_feature" instead, as it's only included when referenced by materials!
Reduce build size & time.
Check keywords in the shader’s Inspector!

You can check the UI Batching in the Profiler, it even states the reason why batching breaks.
Remember that the order of objects in the hierarchy is important, some batching breaks might be solvable by just reordering your objects

Custom Lerp for Values Beyond 0-1 for t?
By default, Mathf.Lerp clamps the interpolation factor t between 0 & 1.
Need an overshoot or extension? Use a custom Lerp to allow t to exceed 1 or go below 0 for full control! 🎮

The Transform class implements IEnumerable. With that you could i.e.:
- Iterate through the children of the transform like foreach (Transform child in transform) {...}
- Iterate with direct cast via .OfType like transform.OfType()

Normalizing a zero vector is mathematically undefined and returning NaN within the Unity.Mathematics lib!
When normalizing i.e. a Unity.Mathematics float3 use the normalizesafe method to avoid NaN.
It works for Vector3 though!

Do you have a gradient that doesn't quite work well with your game style?
Why don't you apply some Noise with a simple #shadergraph? 🤯
This is especially handy to make transitions feel more natural (e.g. with Vertex Color transitions) 😎

To create a nice sprinkler VFX with the #vfxgraph expose a property that changes the velocity and spawnrate.
A small script can feed in values.

You have heard about the formatting options of strings, but did you know these work for structs like Vector3?
Use them in your interpolated strings to get a nicer output! In our example the F2 formats the float components to two digits.

Need to avoid real transparency? Try dithering! 😎
With just a handful of nodes you can create the effect to fake transparency or stylize the look of your project. Its also faster than real transparency. 🤯
Check the screenshot for an example setup!

Mismatched frametime and physics updates may introduce jitters.
Smooth it out with the interpolate property on your Rigidbody.
Interpolate may introduce lag but is smoother than Extrapolate.
Don't use it on everything, only where it counts!
