🚀 What It Fixes and Improves
- Adds preview support for asset types Unity doesn’t handle by default:
Adds support for previewing UI elements, Particle Systems, and VFX Graphs directly within the preview window.
- Better lighting and camera control:
Default Unity previews often appear dark and flat. Ultimate Preview improves visibility with customizable lighting and skybox options.
- Animations play automatically when selected:
No need to press the play button manually every time you preview an AnimationClip.
- Preserve camera position and angle when switching animation clips:
Unity resets the camera view every time you switch clips. With Ultimate Preview, you can preserve the camera angle, zoom, and position for consistent previews.
- Sprites and UI always face the camera:
By default, sprites are tilted at an awkward angle in Unity’s default preview window. Ultimate Preview fixes this by automatically rotating sprites to face the camera correctly.
- Remove grid from 2D sprite animation previews:
Unity overlays a distracting grid when previewing sprites. This tool lets you hide the grid for a clean and clear view.
- Custom camera and floor settings:
Control zoom, angle, field of view, background color, floor visibility, and more for precise and clear previews.
