This course will get you started on your path to creating Virtual Reality experiences. A Virtual Reality experience is a new world that you enter and become completely immersed in. Creating a VR experience entails creating that world and all of its objects.
This course will teach you the fundamentals of 3D graphics, such as how to create objects and how to arrange them to create an environment. Materials and texturing techniques will be taught to you in order to make your objects appear realistic. You'll also learn about audio techniques to make sure your experiences sound as good as they look. In all of these topics, we will focus on the specific requirements of Virtual Reality, such as pitfalls and performance issues: making sure your environment runs quickly enough in VR. All of this will be taught to you using Unity3D, a professional game and VR engine. Unity is a popular game engine that provides a simple but comprehensive introduction to 3D development.
