Ultimate Preview 2 – Pro Edition v2.0.1
“If possible, please buy the package to support the developer”
Description
Ultimate Preview is a powerful Unity Editor extension that upgrades and enhances Unity’s default asset preview window. Designed to improve your workflow and boost productivity, it allows you to inspect UI elements, particle systems, VFX, sprites, 3D models and animations, with better clarity, lighting, and intuitive controls.
🚀 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, Animations, fonts, VFX and more, 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.
