I recently stumbled across a great web site for learning about the Unity 3D game development environment. The site is called Unity3DStudent and the URL is http://www.unity3dstudent.com/. This site has short video tutorials and accompanying programming challenges to help new developers come up to speed quickly with Unity. I really like the format and look forward to more content from the author in the future.
I saw that some people were posting on the Unity3DStudent site that they had some questions about solving the first programming challenge, so I decided to tackle the problem and make a video of the solution. I have uploaded the video to Vimeo here: http://vimeo.com/18833048
This video demonstrates how to use Unity to create a cube that is thrown into a wall. When the cube hits the wall a sound is played and the wall is destroyed.
Concepts demonstrated: Adding a force to a rigid body object, collision detection, destroying objects.
This is my first ever video and it could certainly be better, but overall I was surprised at how easy it was to learn Camtasia, which is a really awesome screen recording software application. I still need to find the best video settings for Vimeo...the resolution was a bit choppy in spots, but it will just require a bit of experimentation to tweak things just right.
I plan to create a similar video demonstrating the solution to programming challenge #2 in the near future.
Peace out,
Tim
