It’s been a while since we started working with Unity 3D. One of the fist thing I’ve noticed is the community contributions and the great stuff that you can find at The Unity Asset Store… Simply put, The Unity Asset Store is a place to buy things you can import and use in your own Unity 3D projects. Of course there are other plugins available at developers own web sites too.
As my main motto when start working with a new platform is “do not re-invent the wheel!”, I’ve looked at most of them. Many great programmers developed top notch applications that will save you loads of time & even inspire you to do something you’d never thought before.
Since we had a limited budget, reviewed most and decided on few which stands out. And finally chosen few of them to purchase first.
Here is our short list of best Unity 3D plugins *
- PlayMaker
- Ragespline
- RageTools & RageTools Pro Add-on
- FingerGestures
- NGUI: Next-Gen UI kit
- Prime31 Unity Plugins (StoreKit, Amazon In App, Etcetera for iOS & Android)
- Shadow Volumes Toolkit
- Pool Manager 2 (Not purchased)
- Shatter Toolkit (Not purchased)
- Mega-Fiers (Not purchased)
- Multiplatform Toolkit (Not purchased)
- 2D Toolkit (Not purchased)
If you are looking for a way to greatly enhance your Unity 3D experience, I’ll strongly suggest looking at those… Hopefully, in near feature when we have enough experience with those, I’m planning to write a short review on each of them…
* Best match to our current workflow and planned apps. This is not a complete list and there are other great ones. So, make sure to check asset store for yourself…
