Overview

Overview

This will be another practical lesson with several hands-on walkthroughs to explore other features of Unity that are useful for building 3D applications. This includes adding an avatar to a scene such that the user can walk in an environment around buildings; and creating a camera animation to generate a video with a pre-programmed camera flight over the scene. We will learn to import resources from SketchUp, the Unity Asset Store, and to create a 360° movie that can be uploaded to YouTube and then watched in 3D on a mobile phone via the Google Cardboard.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:

• Import models from SketchUp into Unity
• Create camera flights and use the Unity Animation View
• Explain different ways to create VR applications with Unity
• Import assets from the Unity Asset Store and add them to a scene
• Create a 360° video in Unity viewable with the Google Cardboard
