Preface

This book is a beginner's guide to the Next-Gen UI kit, also known as NGUI. You might have heard about this Unity 3D plugin; it is popular among developers for its easy-to-use and effective What You See Is What You Get workflow.

NGUI provides built-in components and scripts to create beautiful 2D and 3D UIs for your projects, with most of the work done inside the editor.

With this book, you will gather the necessary knowledge to create functional UIs. The 10 practical chapters of this book will guide you through the creation of both a main menu and a simple 3D game, which are compatible with both PC and mobile platforms.
