This document provides an introduction and overview to Unity, including how to create a project, navigate the interface, add objects to a scene, use prefabs, and set up virtual reality in Unity. It discusses the Unity interface and navigation tools, importing assets from the Asset Store, using scenes to manage projects, and adding the SteamVR plugin and camera rig to allow for VR development. The document demonstrates these concepts and encourages additional learning about scripting, scene setup, and designing VR functionality.

UNITY OVERVIEW Unity Creating a Project Interface Navigation Customizing Windows Asset Store Adding Objects to Scene Scene Management Prefabs VR Setup SteamVR Plugin Adding Headset CREATING A PROJECT INTERFACE HIERARCHY CREATE A CUBE SCENE/GAME VIEW NAVIGATING SCENE VIEW
• Hand Tool: Click and drag to move scene and navigate world • Move Tool: Move objects within the world (X, Y, Z) • Rotate Tool: Rotate objects along the X, Y, or Z axis • Scale Tool: Scale object’s size either along an axis, or overall • Rect Tool: Mainly used for 2D games and UI elements • Universal Tool: Has functionality to move, rotate, and scale INSPECTOR PROJECT WINDOW MOVING WINDOWS TO MAKE CUSTOM LAYOUTS
• Demo in Unity • Scale window size • Change window locations ADDING ASSET STORE AS A WINDOW IMPORTING ASSETS FROM STORE
• Demo in Unity • Navigate to Props • Sort by FREE assets • Find asset pack (Low Poly Survival Essentials) • Download/Import pack ADDING OBJECTS TO SCENE
• In the Project Window, navigate to :
• Assets/BrokenVector/LowPolySurvivalEssentials/Prefabs • Drag and drop Terrain_Plane and set location to (0,0,0) • Add objects for fun • Move camera to see scene in Game View SCENE MANAGEMENT
Use Empty Game Objects to create a “Folder Structure”
Before After USING PREFABS
• Prefabs are a valuable resource to use in developing your scene
• A prefab is an object or a group of objects that can be saved for easy use and manipulation • Demo in Unity QUESTIONS?
• Interface • Navigation • Asset Store • Adding Objects • Scene Management • Anything Else? SETTING UP VR IN UNITY
• Go to the Asset Store and search for “SteamVR Plugin”
• Download and Import • Click “Accept All” to ensure setting are correct for VR ADDING HEADSET TO SCENE
• Navigate to: Assets/SteamVR/Prefabs
• Drag and drop “[CameraRig]” into the project • Delete “Main Camera” from the scene (we only need 1 camera) • Assuming everything works correctly, you are done! NEXT STEPS FOR VR
• We have covered the basics, but there others things
