Advanced Unity Developer Tool for Scene Conversion and Streaming
- Created a comprehensive developer tool that automates the conversion of traditional GameObject scenes to DOTS entity subscenes
- Developed a rule-based engine that intelligently analyzes scene structures and automatically creates optimized streaming layers
- Designed an intuitive editor interface that simplifies the complex process of setting up scene streaming with minimal manual configuration
- Built an automated system that handles GameObject-to-Entity conversion, subscene creation, and streaming setup through a guided workflow
- Implemented extensive documentation with step-by-step guides to help developers integrate advanced streaming capabilities into their projects
Technical Highlights:
-
Scene Automation & Processing:
- Created an intelligent scene analysis system that identifies optimal streaming boundaries based on object density and relationships
- Built automatic layer generation that organizes GameObjects into logical streaming groups based on customizable rule sets
- Implemented a GameObject-to-Entity conversion pipeline with automatic hierarchy preservation and reference maintenance
- Developed a subscene creation system that handles all the complexity of breaking apart monolithic scenes into efficient streaming units
-
Performance Optimization Tools:
- Designed automated frustum culling integration using Unity's job system with Burst compilation for scenes processed by the tool
- Created a configurable terrain LOD generation system that developers can customize based on their performance requirements
- Implemented performance metrics tracking with Unity's ProfilerRecorder API to help developers optimize their converted scenes
- Built bounds checking and occlusion systems that are automatically configured during the conversion process
-
Developer Experience:
- Crafted an intuitive Unity editor integration with wizard-style guidance for the conversion workflow
- Built visual feedback systems showing streaming boundaries and performance impact analysis
- Implemented serialized configuration settings allowing developers to save and reuse conversion parameters across projects
- Created automated validation systems to ensure converted scenes will perform well in production
-
Diagnostics & Troubleshooting:
- Implemented a comprehensive diagnostic engine framework that helps developers identify and fix issues in their Unity projects
- Created specialized diagnostic tools including mesh validation, shader compatibility checking, and DOTS compatibility validation
- Built a unified UI with shortcut support (Alt+Shift+H) providing centralized access to all diagnostic tools
- Designed the system with an extensible architecture allowing developers to create custom diagnostic tools
- Developed intelligent issue detection with automated fix suggestions and one-click repair options
- Incorporated asynchronous search capabilities using Unity's SearchService for performant project-wide scanning
- Implemented robust error reporting with detailed contextual information for resolving conversion issues
