Getting Started

Hello there!

If you've just downloaded MaterialUI, and are wondering what to do with it, you're in the right place! This page will give you a run-down on how to get started with MaterialUI.

If you haven't already checked out Unity's new UI tutorials, it's highly recommended to do so before starting with MaterialUI.

Importing MaterialUI Into Your Project

To import MaterialUI (and other Unity packages), simply click the 'Assets' menu, select 'Import Package', then 'Custom Package'.

Then, select the MaterialUI package from wherever you downloaded it. Then, make sure all elements are selected and click 'Import'.

When freshly imported, your file structure should resemble something like this:

(plus whatever else you've created/imported).

Creating MaterialUI Controls

There are two ways to create these components:

1 - Unity's top menu

or

2 - Right-clicking an object

(If a canvas isn't selected and none exists, don't worry! One will be created.)

And that's it!

Currently, the core MaterialUI controls consist of:

• Buttons
• Checkboxes
• Radio Buttons
• Selection Boxes
• Sliders
• Switches
• Text Inputs
