This free online course explains how to build interactive next-generation 3D games with the Unity game engine.

Did you know that some of today’s most popular 3D games like ‘Ori and the Blind Forest’, ‘Call of Duty’ (mobile), ‘Cuphead’ and ‘Pokemon Go’ are built with the Unity game engine? If you want to join the fun of designing computer games using Unity, this course is for you. Unity allows you to create high-quality 3D games with animated characters and interactive features. It also helps you to deploy your games on multiple platforms to connect with passionate gamers.

In this course, you will study everything you need to know to create desktop, mobile and 3D game designs with Unity. First, we explore why you need a game engine to build a game. Next, we identify keyboard shortcuts to navigate the Unity interface and examine the tools used to manipulate objects. We will also show you insider game hacking techniques that can be employed to create your first game in less than ten minutes. You will learn how to remodel, rig, animate and import 3D assets into the Unity game engine.

Finally, we examine concepts like UV mapping, level design, Mecanim animation, finite state machines (FSM) and animator controllers. We provide video demonstrations that explain how to use Unity’s built-in integrated development environment (IDE) to create functions, declare methods and assign values to variables. Other topics contain light and shadow mapping, rotation techniques, mipmaps and more. Take this exciting course today and learn to develop next-generation 3D games and stunning video graphic effects.
