Asset Configuration

• In Unity, most files have "settings".
• These settings appear in the Inspector pane & can be changed.
• Below explains the recommended settings for common file types.

Images

Images may not work with default settings. Alpha Source: transparent images like ".png" need this set to "Input Texture Alpha", otherwise "None". Alpha Is Transparency: transparent images need this checked. Alpha channels are outside the scope of this documentation (see Apple's explanation). Read/Write Enabled: must be checked. This should be the 1st thing you do after adding a new image file. This needs to be checked so that the pixel data can be extracted and used in the generated track atlas. Generate Mip Maps: needs to be UNchecked for sharp texture quality. Mip maps are outside the scope of this documentation (see Valve's explanation). Filter Mode: should be set to "Point (no filter)". Texture filtering is outside the scope of this documentation (see Wikipedia's explanation).

Sounds

Load In Background: checked. Leaving this unchecked may cause the sound file to play erratically on track load. Ambisonic: checked. It is still safe to try & play ambisonic sounds on non-supported software/hardware. Ambisonics is outside the scope of this documentation (see Unity's explanation). Preload Audio Data: checked. Leaving this unchecked may cause the sound file to play erratically on track load.

Models

Animation Type: "Legacy". It is recommended to have only 1 animation per model file. Attempting to play multiple animations from a single model file, will cause no animations to be played from that file. 3D model animation is outside the scope of this documentation & is specific to your modelling program.
