I’de love to see a tutorial on this genie dude coming out the golden lamp, for 2021.3 LTS and URP, so I can follow along

That’s covered in the book, not in video form though, hope it helps

Awesome, thanks!

Would this stuff work with URP 12.1.8 in 2021.3 and AR Foundation 5.0.3 building to ios 16?

mm I haven’t tried it but if there was an issue I would suggest checking on the urp/vfx/ar forums

Same here, can’t say Unity isn’t consistent in their ineptitude.

Ignoring all my snark, this seems to happen with a lot of their ebook and learning material.

I can’t access either

Is it possible to deliver these to users in some other way? I’ve also had trouble accessing, which is frustrating as the documentation is so lacking for certain functionality with these things.

I’ve also always found it a bit odd to hide them behind a wall - not that punching in my information when I want access is the end of the world, just that it’s counter to the idea of getting people excited about building cool stuff with Unity. I get why you do it with things like beta access and feature previews, but the ebooks should be first class troves of knowledge.

We try to always keep them in the same place, otherwise it would be hard to track. Did you manage to get it? the links that we use are without form for info, maybe we forgot to paste the parameters in the url

16

Yes, thank you!

17

If it’s free could you just provide it in a PDF download?

18

You can actually download the PDF from there, we always want people to be able to download it and read it from a portable device

19

Where is “there”?

then click here (where it says download):
