Express Gizmos

A powerful and user-friendly Unity package for drawing debug gizmos in the editor, player, and build. This package simplifies the process of visualizing debug information in your Unity projects mimicking the capabilities of Unreal Engine's debug drawing functionality.

Why Use This Package?

Unity's built-in gizmo drawing solution has limitations:

• Requires drawing shapes in specific methods like OnDrawGizmos
• Needs manual redrawing each frame for most shapes
• Limited to editor only

This package addresses these issues by providing:

• A static class for easy shape drawing from any part of your code
• Option to draw shapes for one frame or a specified duration
• Functionality that works in editor, player, and even in builds
• Improved visibility through a custom line rendering shader

Supported Shapes

• Cube
• Sphere
• Capsule
• Cylinder
• Cone
• Disc
• Line
• Arrow
