Concepts that we will learn…

Lecture 2: Basic Concepts and Creating a Solar
System
“Game Development is Hard Fun”
• Creating Game Objects
• Understanding 3D Space
• Behaviors
• Materials
• Basic Lighting
• Audios
• Cameras
• Test and Build
• Save and Submit

To Get Started 2D Cartesian Coordinate System

• I hope you have downloaded Unity3D
• Now, download assets from VLE
• Start a new project
• Import Assets in Unity
▫ Drag and Drop them

Vector
• Representation of 3D vectors and points
• This structure is used throughout Unity to pass
3D positions and directions around
• It also contains functions for doing common
vector operations.
• Vector also supports different airthmetic
operations
Adding Behavior
• Using behaviors to get things rotating
• Parent/Child Relationship
• Local Coordinates vs. World Coordinates

Lets Create Our Scene
• Create and Positioning
▫ Sun (p :0,0,0 s:1,1,1)
▫ Earth (p :2,0,0 s:0.5,0.5,0.5)
▫ Moon (p : 1.5,0,0 s:0.1,0.1,0.1)
▫ Main Camera (p : 0,0,-3 s:1,1,1)
• Save your scene
Adding Behavior
▫ Add rotateAround Script to Sun. Sun should spin
around itself with speed of 5
▫ Do same for Earth and two scripts. One should rotate
around itself with speed of 10 and the other around
Sun with speed of 40.
▫ Make Moon child of earth and add the same two
scripts and it should rotate around itself with speed of
10 and other around earth with speed of 45.

Using Materials Using Materials

• All Game objects have Materials and Shader
• Textures are a type of Shader
• Now we would create materials for planets
• We would also create materials for skybox
• Open the assets under texture file
▫ Apply the sunmap texture to sun (set emission higher),
the earthmap to earth and moonmap to moon
• Now add skybox material to your materials folder
▫ Change its shader to skybox 6 sided and add space as a
texture for all six sides
▫ Apply the skybox from windows –lighting

Goals of Lighting Basics of Audio

• Illumination • Unity can import audio files in AIFF, WAV,
• Modeling MP3 and Ogg formats in the same way as other
• Focus assets, simply by dragging the files into the
• Visual Style Project panel

Adding Audio Camera Settings in Game

• Add sound to the sun • Perceptive Projection
▫ Apply burning sound to the sun • Orthographic Projection
• Add sound to the earth
▫ Apply dronehum sound to the sun
