Unity Development - Assignment 1
Part1: The Start
1.
2.
From the start of this project we (as a class) started using unity, which of course i never used it. However, i started to use it for the first it felt of most like i'm using Maya. In Unity i learnt how to create a project and save scene, afterwards i started to create a 3D object which is the plane i then scaled the plane, made it large enough to make a ground and to fit my objects.
In Unity i created a cube and scaled it to make it wider then i duplicated the same shape twice which made it look like a blocks of stairs, then i duplicated the 3rd shape and made it as a wall which is placed on the right side.
After that the next task, i created a sphere and duplicated it to make a pattern from a big sphere to a small sphere with the scale tool and then spread the shapes in a abstract line around the scene.
Part 2: 3D Model (House)
From this particular task i dragged a FBX model (Cartoon Building) from the file to unity and placed it in the assets section and then i dragged it into the scene, after that i created a 3D plane which was the ground for the building. Then i used the scale tool to change the size of the object and then i rotated the object and duplicated it more then 3 times around the scene to create a small town.
From this part i duplicated more buildings. Then i clicked on assets and created a material named it to the colour that i will be using for the buildings which were brown and light yellow.
Light Experiment
Light
Dark
Soft Light
From this part i was experimenting light methods by making the directional light lighter or darker or just a soft light which drops a bit of the light and then changed the colour of the light to a warm blue cyan colour
Fog Effects and Spot Light
Spot Light (Setting)
Fog (Setting)
Experimenting with lights an Fog.
I started by continuing from the previous scene of the buildings. Then i created a spotlight and duplicated it more then once and placed them between the buildings from the edges (left and right), then i scaled the spotlight range and changed the colour, afterwards i went on windows and clicked on rendering settings and added a fog which i increased the density to 0.08.
Part 3: Terrain
Experimenting with Terrain.
I started creating a terrain and scaled each side to match the same size.
Afterwards i used the raise/low terrain brush to paint around the ground.
Experimenting with Terrain.
After that from the previous scene, i Continued with the brush and then added a paint texture to paint around the scene and then i added some grass.
Prefabs, Snapping, Materials
Cube
For this part i created a 3D Cube scaled it. Created a new material and placed the UV Map texture into albedo from the material and dragged the material onto the cube and duplicated it 3 times and positioned it in a line and duplicated it again to build a cube.
Afterwards i duplicated the cubes and placed them around to create a pattern and changed the sky dome background colour to brown.
Materials
Nothing much from here but i started by dragging a 3d model of a rabbit and creating a material for the rabbit and changing the rendering mode to transparent and changing the metallic and smoothness. For the cubes i did the same steps however i added textures to the cubes and changed the colours.
Particles
For this part i went on gameobject/effects/particle system. In inspector mode i used the emission and shape to change the speed and the colours for the particles and then i created a material and dragged in a cloud png into albedo and switched the material shader from standard to particle/standard unlit. For the fire added another particle system and used the renderer option and dragged the material in and then i went on force over lifetime and switched the (space) option of 'world' to 'random between two constants' which helped me to create fire then i add gradients
Underwater Test
Matt Sorting
For this task, this was mainly for matt painting which i had to place 2D assets in and re arrange them around the scene (For the game title). For the Bee was something different which i had to place png assets in the scene and placed them around and added a script to make the bee move
This was the script to make the bee move
Camera and Chroma Keying
Basic node manipulation and Mixing colours
For this part i imported a rabbit asset to unity into my scene and started off creating a new material and a PDR, which i had to connect the material with shader graphs to the PDR. Afterwards i open the PDR file and made different nodes and connected it to the PDR Master.
For the pink rabbit i did the same principles from the first one but added more nodes and connected it to the PDR Master and then i made a property which saves the master node into the inspector menu bar (from PBR03).
I did the same method on this bunny and changed the colour however this node was different which i had to use a unit, which i created a new material and PDR but made the PDR as a Unit Graph.
Graphical Optimisation
For this part i started of with 1 asset (leaf) and 2 png images and placed them in the scene and added a plane for the ground and assigned it with the checkers material and changed the colours for each leaf. Added a spot light and changed the colours and the direction light.
Basic Programming
Basic Programming was a different task which i had to only code the cube, as you can see i first created a 3D cube and made the scene 2D, afterwards i created a script and added theses codes (myNumber/counter/Timestwo) and saved it to respond to the console.
Basic Programming
(Top Down)
For the Top Down Basic Programming i started off by importing presets png assets, which i first dragged the 2D wall and duplicated it around to make a square and added a door, afterwards i added a component the box collider and reason i put a box collider for the wall so that the player doesn't drop or try to go through the wall, did the same with the door.
For this part i continued from the first step then i added a player but in order to make the player move i needed to create a script for it, which on the right side i placed the codes in to make the character move.
Afterwards from making the script for the character i then place a png key and crates which for the crates i added a box collider component and for the key i added a circle collider and rigidbody 2D however the when i clicked play the key would fall so i decided to add a box collider
Programming
Lane Game
For this particular programming part , i decided to show more of the scripts that i coded for the game and making them move in unity. The Beginning: i started off importing png assets to unity. Afterwards i dragged tiles for the menu in the scene and other assets (ships, Lanes) into the scene and added a box collider for the start menu. After that i created a new scene and called it "Game" for the start 'for when the game begins' and a script.
After that in order for me to play and click on the start menu, i went on build settings and added both scenes for 'Menu' and 'Game' which then allowed the start menu to function and go direct to the game while its playing.
