This course covers the necessary methods and steps for integrating Unity into film and animation pipelines, focusing on industry standard technologies like Universal Scene Description (USD) and Alembic. By the end of the course, learners will be able to import data from external sources into Unity and export content out of Unity. The course teaches skills such as working with Alembic and USD formats, C# scripting, timeline workflows, look development, layout, and rendering techniques. The teaching method includes practical demonstrations and examples. This course is intended for individuals interested in using Unity for film and animation production, especially those looking to understand asset workflows in the industry.
