Game Development - An Introduction To Unity® For Absolute Beginners

via Skillshare

This course may be unavailable.

Overview

If you are looking for a free introductory course for the Unity 3D game engine then this is the course for you.

To have Unity 3D and a few example applications on your job profile is an enormous advantage for someone looking to work in this field or improve an existing job position internally.  Linked In recently listed Unity developer as the 6th most posted job for companies in 2018.  I'm Diego Herrera, a Unity and Augmented Reality instructor.

In order to cater for everyone this course is aimed at absolute beginners and I do not expect any prior knowledge of the Unity 3D game engine or C# programming language.  If you are already familiar with Unity / C# and are simply looking to learn a few new things, the later videos in the course are a better place for you to start.  For everyone else, let's get going :)

NOTE : March 2020

It looks like some of the asset store items are moving around as Unity upgrades its software.  The standard assets are now removed form the asset store but don't worry, you can still get the character controller etc from other sample projects they provide and the odl archive is still available if you want to download it here : https://unity3d.com/get-unity/download/archive?_ga=2.118166477.593193274.1585657652-1124525254.1585091718
