The Unity Player that exists in the main Unity Editor.
c)
A component that simulates fluid entities such as liquids, clouds and flames by generating and animating large numbers of small 2D images in the scene
d)
Placed in code to describe a CPU or GPU event that is then displayed in the Unity Profiler window.
e)
A component that lets you display images as Sprites for use in both 2D and 3D scenes.
97.
Profiler counter
a)
A package is a mutable package that you store under the Packages directory at the root of a Unity project. This differs from most packages which you download from a package server and are immutable
b)
A 3D texture, where each value represents a directional force that is applied to particles as they move through the field. A vector field is created in 3D animation software, such as Houdini.
c)
Placed in code with the ProfilerCounter API to track metrics, such as the number of enemies spawned in your game.
d)
A feature set is a collection of related packages that you can use to achieve specific results in the Unity Editor. You can manage feature sets directly in Unity’s Package Manager.
e)
A list of methods that were called at run time, organized as a last-in-first-out stack.
98.
Profiler sample
a)
When a package passes release cycle testing for a specific version of Unity, it receives the Verified For designation.
b)
These packages allow users to toggle Unity features on or off through the Package Manager. Enabling or disabling a package reduces the run-time build size.
c)
A GameObject that adds the effect of wind to your terrain. For instance, Trees within a wind zone will bend in a realistic animated fashion and the wind itself will move in pulses.
d)
A set of data associated with a Profiler marker, that the Profiler has recorded and collected.
e)
A component that simulates the effect of lights refracting inside a camera lens. Use a Lens Flare to represent very bright lights or add atmosphere to your scene.
99.
Profiler
a)
An indirect, or transitive dependency occurs when your project requests a package which itself “depends on” another package.
b)
An instance of the Shader class, a Shader object is a container for shader programs and GPU instructions, and information that tells Unity how to use them.
c)
A window that helps you to optimize your game. It shows how much time is spent in the various areas of your game.
d)
A plane that limits how close a camera can see from its current position. The plane is perpendicular to the camera’s forward (Z) direction.
e)
You cannot change the contents of a (read-only) package. Most packages are immutable, including packages downloaded from the package registry or by Git URL.
100.
VSync
a)
When a package passes release cycle testing for a specific version of Unity, it receives the Verified For designation.
b)
A special type of Texture that is created and updated at runtime. To use them, first create a new Render Texture and designate one of your Cameras to render into it. Then you can use the Render Texture in a Material just like a regular Texture.
c)
A common type of camera view used in games that give you a bird’s-eye view of the action, and is sometimes called “2.5D”.
d)
Light components whose Mode property is set to Mixed. Some calculations for Mixed Lights are performed in advance, and some calculations for Mixed Lights are performed at runtime.
e)
Vertical synchronization is a display setting that caps a game’s framerate to match the refresh rate of a monitor, to prevent image tearing.
101.
VBlank
a)
The main graphics primitive of Unity. Meshes make up a large part of your 3D worlds. Unity supports triangulated or Quadrangulated polygon meshes. Nurbs, Nurms, Subdiv surfaces must be converted to polygons.
b)
A technique Unity uses to draw GameObjects on the screen that combines static (non-moving) GameObjects into big Meshes, and renders them in a faster way.
c)
Vertical blanking interval is the time between the end of the final visible line of a frame and the beginning of the first visible line of the next frame.
d)
An advanced lighting model that simulates the interactions between materials and light in a way that mimics reality.
e)
An image used when rendering a GameObject, Sprite, or UI element. Textures are often applied to the surface of a mesh to give it visual detail.
102.
Call stack
a)
An asset that defines how a surface should be rendered.
b)
Unity automatically pre-installs a select number of default packages (for example, the Analytics Library, Unity Timeline, etc.) when you create a new project. This differs from a bundled package because you don’t need to install it.
c)
The process of generating an image by calculating pixels for each polygon or triangle in the geometry. This is an alternative to ray tracing.
d)
A list of methods that were called at run time, organized as a last-in-first-out stack.
e)
A memory store that holds an 8-bit per-pixel value. In Unity, you can use a stencil buffer to flag pixels, and then only render to pixels that pass the stencil operation.
103.
Overhead
a)
Light components whose Mode property is set to Realtime. Unity calculates and updates the lighting of Realtime Lights every frame at runtime. No Realtime Lights are precomputed.
b)
The process of remapping HDR values of an image into a range suitable to be displayed on screen.
c)
The amount of supporting code that the Profiler needs to run. This might affect the performance of your application.
d)
An advanced lighting model that simulates the interactions between materials and light in a way that mimics reality.
e)
A shadow property that produces shadows with a soft edge. Soft shadows are more realistic compared to Hard Shadows and tend to reduce the “blocky” aliasing effect from the shadow map, but they require more processing.
