- [Instructor] There are two sections you need
to be aware of when looking for packages and assets,
the Asset Store and the Package Manager.
So let's explore both.
So the first thing I'm going to do is remove
the two game objects that I just added,
and right-click and delete.
And then let's go ahead
and explore the Package Manager first.
And you can access the Package Manager
by clicking on the Window, Package Manager.
So Package Manager is basically Unity's way
of creating packages for every function or every tool
they have in their store or their own Package Manager.
So basically when you first start with Unity,
you don't have everything that you need
to create a game or create a 2D game or whatever.
So if for example,
you created this particular project as a 3D game,
you wouldn't have the HDRP package
and therefore you would have to go and install it separately
and so on and so forth.
So if you're doing a VR or a MR,
you don't have the VR packages.
How you can install those is by clicking at the top here,
because right now we have the in project packages.
But if you want to find out
what are the packages available to you,
you can click here and then go to Unity Registry,
and then you have all the other packages available.
So for example, if you were to do a 2D project,
you would have all the 2D stuff here,
which would come pre-installed for you
if you started this project as a 2D project.
So if we were to install Cinemachine,
we would find it here and so on and so forth.
So if we need any packages down the road,
like Post Processing or Probuilder,
this is where we're going to find it.
All right, the second one is the Asset Store.
So the Asset Store is basically a place
where people like you and me can create packages
or things that people can buy.
So how do you access the Asset Store?
There's multiple ways, but the fastest way,
depending on the version that you are on,
is to go through the Window and then click on Asset Store.
So if you are in the latest versions,
you're going to see a message like this.
So basically the Asset Store has moved
from being accessible from Unity,
so now what you need to do is click online
and visit it online.
So once you're on the Asset Store,
what you can do is search for anything.
So for example, if you need characters in your game,
you can do characters,
and then go through the characters that are available.
Some are free, some are paid for,
and if you want to filter them by free,
you can go into pricing and then click on free assets.
You're going to find free assets that are available for you.
So you could use this character to basically template
or prototype your game if you wanted to,
and so on, so forth.
So there are a lot of stuff in here.
There's materials.
There's audio, there's effects, and so on so forth.
So there are a lot of stuff in here.
There's even plugins,
so if you want to have a specific thing in your scene,
you could probably find a plugin that's available
for you in the Unity Asset Store.
So whenever you're building your next project,
instead of just creating all your stuff yourself,
just take a look at what's available in the Asset Store,
you may find something that is useful
for you in your project.
