I'm pleased to announce
that I've completed the first few Unity tutorials!
In this post I'm going to go over
a little about my first experience using Unity. You might find a little trick
or two could be useful (or not).
One of the first things our class
group was told in the lecture (that I could remember) was to put an underscore ‘_’ before a file name. This will help organize important
files in the projects window. I find this helpful because I had some trouble in the past when arranging
files in projects – it would always take too long to find the folder you’re
looking for.
One thing I need to work on is
moving the camera itself around the objects (it took me a little while to get
the perspective right without it looking slanted in the in the player’s point of
view. I also need a bit of practice ‘looking’ or ‘panning’ around the world.
The key and mouse combinations are quite different than what I’m used to. I
tend to use the ‘space’ bar and left click or Ctrl and + to zoom as accustomed
to adobe products or drawing programs such as MediBang Pro.
Overall I really enjoyed
following the video tutorials and mess around with objects and tools to test
their limits :p I look forward to bring a world to life with Unity.
Hey Julia, I am pleased that you finished all of the Unity tutorials. I hope they weren't too difficult. I also need to work on moving the camera myself. I actually enjoyed the tutorials I hope you enjoyed them too. I am glad to see you back this year - Claire Loakman

ReplyDeleteI found the Unity very tricky at first because there is so much you can do and you have a lot of different options. It can be a lot to handle at first but you can get used to it with some practice. I enjoyed following the videos myself and think they were very well done and easy to follow.
