Hello, I’m Snowy, CEO of Snowic Games.

I’m working on my first game, and I realy want to get it right from the first time, it’s nothing big yet, it includes 4 scenes, with verry small rooms, and a main menu (with thanks to the Brackeys tutorial) but I plan on making it pretty big, but thats in a far future.

I’m acctually looking for some help, I’m looking for a script, or some information, on how to make a loading screen, which will pick a random texture and display it for a couple of seconds, whilist loading a scene in the background. I’m using Unity 4.6 Beta Free, not the Pro version.

Can anybody please help me with this? It’s one of the things on my list I realy want to get done for the next DevBuild. Thanks in advance! (Sorry for some English mistakes, I’m Belgian)

Look at this tutorial from Brackeys. It isn´t a loading screen but he shows how to make a fade effect between scenes.

Hi Snowy, here is a good tutorial that shows how to create a Loading Screen for your project.

Thanks man! I’ll check it out right away, but it looks he’s using Unity 4.5, with the old UI system, and Unity Pro, which has more availability, wouldn’t this cause for some problems?

Thanks again tough!

Hello,

I’m also interested in how to make a Loading screen in Unity 4.6.

@Snowy – did you found a solution?

Thanks!

Well, what I found working was opening a scene with a script that basicly opens the next level after a little delay, with the only thing in this scene being the texutre of the loading screen.

For something that acctually loads it beforehand, I would recomend what Spang send: Scripting a Loading screen in Unity
