Just found this series and your channel, and it's incredible so far! Definitely recommending this to my friends who use Unity.

Oh man. You don't know for how long i was searching for this video. I finally solved literally ALL of my doubts in just one video. Thank you, really. (Btw: your editors are gorgeous. I would like to see a detailed course on editor designs like yours)

THIS IS WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS! This is what I need :D

This is awesome. I've been so interested in learning about tools development lately (and shaders!) but wasn't sure how to get started. Thank you so much!

Bloody love this series! So good to to find little quality of life editor tool stuff I never knew existed ahhh

20m in, you've expanded my Unity knowledge in some ways as well as confirmed my understanding of the Editor in others. Bravo! Great course!

I would love a post mortem on Shader Forge!

Great vid! Haven't worked with tool dev stuff in a few years now and this was a stellar refresher~ Learned a fair bit of new tips as well

Love your lengthy explanations because often time I can find extra knowledge from them. Best teacher ever!!!

I haven't properly started yet, but I just want to thank you so much for this. I'm trying to improve my tech art skillset and this is such an incredible resource, and I know from experience that making tutorials is a lot of work; and you went the extra EXTRA mile of making them longer and timestamped, this is amazing

Holy SHIT this is amazing. I had work to do today Freya! Now I'm four hours behind, and it was absolutely worth it. :D

Just i love you! You explain very easily. The tips really come in handy I'll see all your videos like this ♥

These videos are priceless. Thanks for making them.

I am sure you will receive so many blessings for what you are doing for game dev community. The knowledge you share is worth million dollars. I will try my best to teach the same to others also for free, just like you.

Thank you Freya for sharing your knowledge and skills!

If you're trying to follow along using URP or HDRP and can't get the colors to work, try changing "_Color" to "_BaseColor". Btw this tutorial rules.

Thanks for this, Freya; a really useful set of insights and learning :D

Damn, I'm 14 minutes in and this is already super usefull! Subscribing for sure! Really great work!

Thanks ! Great detailed video, I've never done an editor tool before, so I'll watch all the 4 videos twice, and I should know the basics
