Building A Tool To Make Item Icons In Unity

If you're tired of manually setting up item icons for your game, you're not alone. Let's fix that. In this episode, we’ll build a custom tool in the Unity Editor to automatically generate icons and thumbnails for your game’s items. Whether you’re working on inventory systems, city builders, or giant piles of loot you’ll never actually use, clean and consistent item visuals are key to a polished player experience. We'll create a simple but flexible editor window that lets you capture item renders directly in Unity — saving you hours of tedious setup elsewhere. Perfect for anyone building inventory UIs, world editors, or just trying to make their project a little less chaotic. 📦 Get the project files and explore the demo - https://www.patreon.com/collection/211449?view=expanded 🖥️ Checkout Bezi Sidekick - https://www.bezi.com/?utm_medium=youtube&utm_source=GDG Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 00:58 - Title 01:12 - Sponsor 02:38 - Initial Scene Demo 03:24 - Creating The Editor Window 04:55 - Populating The Window 06:43 - Adding The Preview Scene 08:56 - Adding Controls 11:49 - Exporting To PNG 13:39 - Final Demo 14:01 - Outro -------------------- ▶️ Become A Channel Member And Get Early Access To New Videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR35rzd4LLomtQout93gi0w/join ▶️ Or, join on Patreon - http://www.patreon.com/GameDevGuide ▶️ Subscribe - https://www.youtube.com/gamedevguide?sub_confirmation=1 ▶️ Need Help?
