Unity Tutorial 05

Unity, Source:wikimedia

I learned a lot in this weeks Unity Tutorials by Jimmy Vegas, what I really enjoyed about this weeks tutorials was all the experimentation that there was, with colours and so on. As I followed the first tutorial, I learned how to place an Axe to make it look like it was sticking into a tree, I then used code to allow the player to pick up the Axe into their hand. Even though I only had to copy the code which Jimmy Vegas was using, I always find the code side of it quite challenging and I always seem to make small mistakes which stop my code from working as it should, but I got there eventually. I am glad I learned how to collect objects like this as it is an element that I think will work well in my own game.

In the next tutorial we learned how to make a fade in fade out for the game, which is something that I hadn't even of thought of for my game but it makes it look a lot better. Experimenting with the colours for this was enjoyable and I found some very interesting colours which gave me inspiration for my own game. It was hard to get my head around the animation within Unity as we have never used this before but it was very effective.

I enjoyed making the house look different as you could change how the textures look on the outside and changing the light make such a big difference to the way that the house looks. \

I look forward to next weeks tutorials and creating the inside of the house.
