RealTransforms Brings Physics-Driven Scene Dressing to Unity
RealTransforms is a new Unity editor tool from the creator of RealBlend that turns scene dressing into a physics-driven workflow. It adds Move, Rotate, Drop, and Arrange tools that use Unity’s PhysX so props naturally settle instead of floating or clipping. With multi-object actions like clump, spread, level, and random rotation, you can build believable clutter and prop layouts in seconds. The tool ships with detailed documentation and shared resources for developers eyeing similar editor extensions.
Save Hundreds of Hours: Must-Have Unity Tools from the Summer Sale
Instead of reinventing the wheel, this breakdown highlights four Unity Asset Store tools that dramatically speed up game creation. From a stunning, optimized water system with buoyancy and local zones, to a pro-grade debug drawing library, to a modular sprite shader that works in 2D and 3D, each asset targets a common pain point. The video ends with Grabbit, an editor extension that uses physics to place and stack objects naturally. All four are currently 50% off in Unity’s Summer Sale.

A Better Way to Pick Random Spawn Points (Beyond Reservoir Sampling)
When players complain that your RNG is “rigged,” the culprit is often your selection algorithm, not the random number generator. This session explores several ways to pick a random valid item—dart throws, random walks, shuffled indices, and reservoir sampling—highlighting their performance and fairness tradeoffs. It finishes with a surprisingly intuitive method: give each valid item a random score and just pick the max, equivalent in behavior to reservoir sampling but much easier to read. It’s a practical tour of randomized picking patterns tailored to game programmers.
Why Your Unity ScrollView Won’t Scroll (And How to Fix It)
If your Unity ScrollView isn’t showing scrollbars, the problem is probably your layout, not your code. This tutorial breaks down how ScrollView works under the hood—viewport, content container, and scrollers—and why both overflow content and bounded size are essential. Learn how flex settings can silently cancel scrolling, how to choose vertical vs horizontal scroll, and when to prefer ListView for large data sets. You’ll also see how to safely customize scrollbar visuals using UI Toolkit’s USS classes.
