SPCRJointDynamics: A bone physics engine for cloth.

SPCRJointDynamics uses cross simulation algorithm (mass-spring-damper model) to animate the bones in real-time. For direct use for skirts and hairs, we mainly focused on the overall appearance rather than the physically accurate behaviors.

Unity-Textures-Hunter: Provides summary of all textures and atlases in Unity project

It makes an analysis of non-atlas textures to give some recommendations upon their compression settings.
It also helps to analyze all your atlases at once and highlights issues if their textures used in Resources and/or Addressables (which may lead to duplicated textures in build).

EasyTimeSlicing makes it easy to slice heavy tasks into consequent game frames to execute and helps to keep the game running smoothly and avoid janks or spikes.

Time slicing is a useful technique for optimizing the performance and consistency of games, but should be used carefully to not affect the gameplay too much.
