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.
