How to NOT Lose Your Unity Project

Ever gotten that dreaded crash report dialog? Unity has stopped working... That's a gut-wrenching feeling. This video is about how to mitigate that, so you don't lose your whole project.  

Hey Patreons! How do you add a Unity project to GitHub? It's pretty easy actually! Unity works well with Git and GitHub. Now obviously there are alternative version control systems that you can use, but I've found this process to be the easiest and what works best for my projects. Let me know if ...

How to Grab Objects AND Two Handed Grab in VR // Intermediate Unity VR Tutorial

I'd argue that picking up objects is the most important part of VR. If the game you're playing or making cannot simulate proper grab and release mechanics then it's not going to be a good game. 

Hey Patreons! In this video you'll learn how to pick up objects using physics. The cool part is that this script we'll write also allows for two handed grabbing built in! Try it out and let me know what you think in the comments below 👇
