Abstract:

Do you have a background in 3D modeling or CAD design and looking to get into development with Unity? Unity is more relevant today than ever for its use cases in AR and VR. Here, we will discuss about how to get started and some basic differences between a CAD and Game engine. More importantly, what are some of the considerations to pay attention to when switching between two different fields.
What to expect:

• Unity Hub and Unity Editor. What is it for?
• Difference between Unity Render pipelines
• Basics of Unity Hierarchy (scene, game objects, and prefabs)
• Unity Packages and good packages to start with
• Difference between shaders and types of Lighting
• Animations, colliders, and scripting
