What you should know

- For this course, a working knowledge of Unity Game Engine is helpful, but not necessary. We'll start from ground zero, the first immersion in Unity, and take you through creating a project all the way through the final game. I've created some of the assets in Autodesk Maya, so a working knowledge of Autodesk Maya is useful, but again, I'll provide the assets complete. However, if you'd like to get in and modify them, some knowledge of modeling, texturing, rigging and animation in Maya is helpful. I've also created assets in 3ds Max, and for this, again, a basic working knowledge of 3ds Max is useful if you'd like to modify the content and export it out.

I've provided the assets complete, but I've also included the native Mac scenes if you'd like to explore the inner workings of this content. Textures for ths project have been created in Adobe Photoshop, and a basic knowledge of painting, moving, layer structure and blending modes is useful, but again, I've provided the complete assets if you need. I've also included the working PSDs for many objects, so if you'd like to get in and edit some of the properties and see how it reacts in Unity, you have full flexibility in this layer structure.

Unity works in a choice of scripting languages: C# and JavaScript. Working knowledge of either of those is helpful, but I'll start the scripts from ground zero, and I've included the complete scripts we'll be using. Unity uses MonoDevelop as its integrated development environment for both C# and JavaScript, as well as the shaders. If you'd like to go further, you can look in Visual Studio integration or another IDE.
