Course Overview

The 3D Video Game Development in Unity: An Introduction programme will teach the candidates to build a 3D game prototype by helping them explore the required 3D game development concepts and tools available in Unity and on the web. The candidates will be exploring and using the tools to create a 3D scene in Unity and candidates will be able to add 3D characters and animations and incorporate them into the scenes they create. Candidates will be able to identify actions and interaction between video game components and will be able to publish the results of their design on the web. The principles taught in the introductory development course which are now adapted to 3D games, will be used as a basis by the candidates.

The 3D Video Game Development in Unity: An Introduction programme is going to teach the basic skills to create 3D games, whether the requirements are for work, study or hobby. The concepts learned in the programme will help candidates to create simulators, educational games and interactive books. Unity is an extensible video game engine which is used professionally, and this programme will allow the candidates to take advantage of its 3D video game development potential. The candidates should have the fundamental knowledge in the development of 2D games in Unity, agile development processes and video game business models before applying to the programme. Coursera offers programmes for that too.

The 3D Video Game Development in Unity: An Introduction programme was designed as the fourth of five courses in the Video Game Development and Design Specialised Programme. Candidates can take all of the courses separately or just one of them. But enrolling and participating in all the five courses is more recommended because a complete knowledge will make the candidates more eligible when it comes to an interview for a job.
