How to Inspect Items and Objects! (Rotate around 3D Mesh, Inventory, Unity Tutorial)

👍 Learn to make awesome games step-by-step from start to finish.

🔴 RELATED VIDEOS 🔴

💬 Let's make an Item Inspect System!
This is the kind of thing you see in many games where you have some sort of inventory and you have a separate view to look at the object's 3D mesh, you can rotate around and look at it from any angle.
It's relatively easy to do and adds a nice extra bonus to your Inventory System.

You have no idea how much i needed this i looked other tutorials but they're complicated and don't explain well thank you soo much

[ShiftClickLearn]

I am beginning to think CM is looking at my search history because I was JUST looking for a good tutorial on 3d item inspection this morning. 😂 Thanks so much Code Monkey! :D

An important thing I would like to point out is to remember to unsubscribe from the event, to avoid memory leaks. It could be done in the OnDestroy method.

[NoTimeLeft_]

For anyone using this method, please be aware of Gimbal Lock.
When rotating using Eulers instead of Quaternions you run into a situation where two axis can 'collide' and you lose a degree of freedom. This is what happens when I implement the code seen in this video.
The reason is a bit long (you can have multiple incorrect axis rotations for the same desired rotation) but because Quaternions use 4 values to determine rotation you don't run into this issue.

I just found your channel recently and i am baffled, not just because your videos are great but that is so satisfying to me how you arange your code. I mean i can read code and follow a tutorial without problems if the brackets are not there where i would place them, but it is so fucking awesome if you find a tutorial that aranges the code the same way you did. I have no words how great this is and how happy i am with that. Thank you very much!

Render Texture is becoming as powerful as the Unity's Particle System. Very cool.

[Killerkraft]

Omg thank you so much. I didn’t know how to describe this kind of rotation and I couldnt find any material on rotating an object using the mouse.

[revraitah]

Very nice implementation! Also, don't forget to unsubscribe from events to prevent memory leaks.

[ggre]

I always wanted to know how that actually works thanks
awesome tutorial

[CarlosMagno-hpbo]

Very top Code Monkey, your tutorials
help a lot. Congratulations

[eddyrc]

LOVE IT! one more step to custom characters!

[Wilhelmification]

Guys, please tell where can i read about syntax that used here 4:20 at line 10. Cause I dont even know what i need to ask in Google)

[parasgoyal]

I think instead of destroy the game object .. set active and and deactivate is a a less processing idea

[eduardorpg]

What version of Unity are you using in this video?

[NationStudios]

Never thought of that way on creating this! Is like I said you really are a legend!
Btw! I already did your character in-game! And mannn, it looks like you hahah
Is there any way I can show you? E-mail/twitter?
Thank you once again!

[DavidRodriguez-jrfd]

if you wanted to have items that you can also interact with, like opening a box in the resident evil games, could you do it also with the event handlers in the same script (and maybe a ray traced from that camera)? Or it wouldn't be possible because you are using a rendertexture? In that case, would there be a way or would it be better to redo it without a render texture?

[violentgamer]

Nice Tutorial, I want to adjust "orthographic.size = any 3d mesh Fit size", can you help me with this please?

[alekjwrgnwekfgn]

One suggestion… it seems no one makes tutorial content with gamepads in mind. For me I have no interest in only doing desktop games (because I never play desktop games). Also I can’t find much/any content on navigating UI with gamepads and the new input system.

[codeshelldev]

Hi CodeMonkey, I was wondering how I could implement this like Minecraft, which renders blocks as isometric icons, but I have a concern: Too many Cameras is no good for Performance.
Is there maybe another way to do this?
Thanks, love your videos!

[jozimastar]

that's a cool mechanic to use in inventory but is there any way to set animation evry time the item change? like small swap or big cyckle effect?
