By: Unity3d College

Coroutines are one of the tools I still don’t fully understand how to utilize in Unity so I wanted to gather some resources to really learn the basics. I am hoping this helps me use them more effectively and understand them better than as a method that lets me do something “after a while”.

The resources I’ve gathered cover a wide amount of information on coroutines. There are details on the terminology used around them with the most technical aspects of how they are made up to small examples on their different uses in Unity scripts. There are also different methods of starting/stopping them covered and how to properly control them.

Particle Systems and the VFX Graph in Unity

Particle Systems in Unity 2018 and Later

Particle Systems and New VFX Graphs

I originally intended to look up new tutorials for particle systems in Unity to get a better grasp of the differences in the newest version of the Particle System editor. This was because a lot of older tutorials had the old setup so some of the differences made it hard to follow. While I did find one newer particle system tutorial using the editor, I stumbled upon the Visual Effects graph which appears to be a node/graph based editor for creating VFX new to the latest version of Unity, so I gathered a lot of tutorials for that. Several of them are from Brackeys as well, which is someone I follow often for basic Unity tutorials.
