Transitions Plus · Quick Start

Quick Start — First transition in 5 minutes

Follow these steps to see Transitions Plus in action. No scripting required.

Step 1 — Import the package

Open Window > Package Manager, locate Transitions Plus in My Assets and click Import. If you downloaded the .unitypackage manually, double-click it and import all files.

No pipeline setup needed. Transitions Plus works immediately with Built-in, URP and HDRP. No renderer features, volumes, or shader configuration required.

Step 2 — Add the component to your scene

Go to Main Menu > GameObject > Effects > Transitions Plus.

A new TransitionsPlus GameObject appears in the Hierarchy with the TransitionAnimator component attached.

Step 3 — Load a preset

  1. Select the TransitionsPlus GameObject.
  2. In the Inspector, click Preset and browse the Transition Presets folder (included with the asset).
  3. Choose any preset — for example Dissolve Smoke.

Step 4 — Preview the transition

Drag the Progress slider in the Inspector from 0 to 1. You will see the transition overlay animate over the Game view in real time — no need to enter Play mode.

Step 5 — Play the transition at runtime

  1. Enable the Auto Play checkbox on the component.
  2. Press Play in the Editor.
  3. The transition runs automatically using the selected preset.
Tip: Enable Auto Destroy to remove the transition GameObject once the animation completes. This keeps your Hierarchy clean.

Step 6 — Save your own profile

After tweaking parameters to your liking, scroll to the bottom of the Inspector and click Save As New Profile. This creates a reusable TransitionProfile asset you can drag into any scene or reference from scripts.
