Visit resource ↗Description
The Unity Library at unity.stelabouras.com is a curated searchable index maintained by Stelios Petrakis (Stelabouras). It grew from personal Unity bookmarks published as a static reference site in March 2020.
Tag pages group external links on Shader Graph, VFX Graph, lighting, water, caustics, clouds, raymarching, decals, ECS, performance, repos, snippets, and creator profiles. The home page lists hundreds of entries across visual-effect and programming topics.
It suits intermediate Unity developers who want filtered pointers rather than hosted tutorials. Each row links to the original blog, video, or GitHub project.
The catalog is MIT-licensed on GitLab with merge requests for new links. A static generator serves searchable JSON-backed pages on Netlify without login.
Useful when shader and VFX references are scattered; often cited next to other Unity community link lists.
