Hi all. We made a big Unity 6 update to UI Toolkit – Dragon Crashers, our advanced UI Toolkit game sample. The code is leaner and includes data binding samples, we added localization with the Localization package, and implemented recent improvements like portrait and landscape orientation support, SafeArea API examples, and themes.

UNITY 2022 LTS UPDATE
ORIGINAL ANNOUNCEMENT
While I’m incredibly excited to take a look at this, I have yet to be able to get it to import/work properly. Even when I specifically install the 2021.3.7 version of the editor, I get the following errors when I try to import:
Granted, it could just be user error on my part. I’m using an 2D, URP project before I import the package.
@MrCrispy To fix those errors, update the 2D SpriteShape package in the Package Manager.
If you have exclamation points/warning icons that show up over the sprites after doing this, you may need to also select the Assets folder in the Hierarchy and right-click > Reimport All.
Also, you can avoid the above steps, if you use the 3D(URP) template when creating the project.
I used 2d URP too. No need reimport anything. Read closely bellow:
I found the solution and I posted on GIT too: you need to UNLOCK this and then the upgrade button will appear instead (after that update errors are gone !)
Thanks for letting us know about this issue, and thanks for the fixes. We fixed this in 1.02 (live soon on the Asset Store), basically, the package 2D Sprite Shape wasn’t being updated to the latest version alongside the other packages, we changed the package manifest to correct this. In the meantime, just install the latest 2D Sprite Shape package, or remove it (we don’t use it in this demo), either way will work
Updating that particular package worked like a charm. Thanks everyone!
I can confirm that works fine on 2021.3.9f1, no errors
but really? A BOOK? who have time to read a book? Can’t you just spend two hours and create a VIDEO tutorial walking users trough this ultra complicated setup with attached scripts that references other scripts? Is a mess.
No one reads books, create some online reference help area if possible, and then open a screen capture app and record one or two hours of someone speaking walking trough this project.
Can’t unity just implement one of those node based windows that show how stuff is linked together? Like how unreal has? At leas we can figure out which stuff loads what and where.
Did you have fired all people that know how to make tutorials or can speak clearly? You have only music in your youtube videos, did you have fired the person that was talking on the tutorials?
Don’t you know that youtube has AI voice recognition over videos to figure out what the video is about and show it in the search engines? If you use only music you get penalized.
You’ve merged with an add company, those advertising professionals should know this stuff. Make a video, speak clearly and reuse trough out the video the words that you want to be included by youtube as key words for search results.
and that landing page for the book, looks like those scam websites that give free stuff just to get your data and then send you spam emails or super expensive products.
C’mon mate, really? “No one reads books”? If you’re going to say such sweeping generalisations you ought to have some proof to go with that.
Most sane people use books as reference materials. It’s much more convenient to flip to the right page of a book (digital or otherwise) to reference what you need, than it is to scrub through to some arbitrary point in a video.
If you have time to read a book just to create three buttons in an interface, be my guest.
I mean I learned UI Toolkit by reading the documentation, so… it’s not that different.
this is not a book about learning the UI, is a book on how to create and understand this UI project specifically. you are blind of the hate you have against me. You need to stop and think what I’m trying to explain instead of jumping to conclusions.
I’m ok with having a book or online text resources easy to access that explain each UI module and feature clearly. Is what you are saying with your posts. I’m the same idea as you.
What we have here is that they have released this project and they are telling you to compile a scam looking page so you can get the book explaining this project by mail.
Why do I need to give them all my personal data? Doesn’t unity already have this data? What is the point of this?
To understand this project better and faster a video walktrough on how was build and what is inside is way better than reading some not yet released book. The if we want to check what a particular UI element does the online resource you are talking about is the way to go.
What are you on about? It’s literally a learning guide for UI toolkit that uses this project as an example piece. I could quote what it says above… but it’s literally at the top of this page, lol.
It’s a reference document that has a hands on, tangible (as tangible as you can get digitally) example to go with it.
If that’s not a good learning resource, I don’t know what to say mate. You can go back to your Youtube videos I suppose.
As for the personal details, I imagine this it to gauge levels of engagement and cross reference that with their existing user base. You know, see who among their user base is engaging with these documents, and if its worth producing more in the future.
You can always throw nonsense in them with a throw away email account if you are so pointlessly paranoid.
Any way my original post was to pick fun at you saying ‘nobody reads books’. You can’t say such sweeping generalisations. Tons of people read books; more than ever, would you believe. And Unity have been producing these PDF guides for a while. If no one was using them, they wouldn’t keep making them.
never knew these exist can you link a couple, i want to check see what is about
Hey Dorusoftware
The email provided is only so you get the link of the ebook in your email when it’s available, nothing else. The rest of the info is there only because we use the same form we use for other marketing campaigns.
Regarding the e-book, it provides a very deep dive into all the systems that come into play for UI, from Unity UI to UI Toolkit (runtime), it’s aimed at professional UI Artists and any dev working with UI. We teamed up with UI Artists, front end designers, the UI teams at Unity and even game designers for the content of the book, I think it will be worth a look, and for sure, not all chapters are for everyone, so it’s more of a reference book, than a must-read from top to bottom, we also provide some content, tips, write ups that are more appropriate for a book format than documentation, of course, acknowledging that the documentation is and will be the ultimate source of truth.
Here you can find examples of other of our ebooks:
Thank You for the links, they look like great information to have. Too bad I didn’t know they exists when trying to learn out unity. 
Both unity and unreal have great official tutorials but both companies don’t present them in a good way, is never clear where they are located. I recall that to discover both game engines “learning” areas was just a causality of browsing the forums and finding someone posting a link
I don’t want the book in the mail immediately when it shows up, maybe there is a place where can I visit and when its available I can get it?
Edit: I’m looking at some of the books, now I’m really annoyed, why this information was not promoted better. The book about optimizing the game for mobile have so much helpful stuff
It’s a PDF… Just download and store it somewhere on your computer.
It will be a link to the page where you can read it or download it if I remember correctly
I checked this demo, it’s nice to see working stuff like this, but I am kind of disappointed about animating - is really render texture the only way to create animation? I don’t mean moving element left and right, but something more fancy.
Is there any support for flipbooks or anything like that? Or even better - custom shader/material?
Flipbook animation can be achieved via c# swapping the sprites, but the team is working on an integrated solution, based on the roadmap info: https://unity.com/roadmap/unity-platform/gameplay-ui-design
Just a question, this project needs URP as reported.
This mean that UI Toolkit is usable just with URP or it’s possible to use also with HDRP?
