My ever changing design document for the development of TechMadnezz in Unity can be here. All in all, I have a firm concept of how the actual game play will work. I'm still slightly fuzzy on some the details, but it was really help for me to actually begin plotting this out.

Audio and sound exploration in Unity. I am still working on the sound effects and the collisions, but there is a script attached to the horse using Raycasting that should (hopefully, eventually) make the horse "nay". I think something must be wrong with my mesh collider on the horse, but need more time to figure it out. There were ambient sounds also attached to the horse that are difficult to hear I think because the background sound is so loud. 

I added horses, tables, and chairs to the interior. I added some normal maps to some of the wood. I still wanted a "recycled" natural feel, so I didn't apply it to all of it. The pieces that are more rugged are the pieces that have the normal map applied.

This is week 2’s assignment dealing with Raycasting and collision detection. I used the Unity 3.X to learn the basic beginnings of the Unity 3D interface, including building a terrain and importing assets. The Raycasting works with audio but for some reason I had difficulty with the importing of the house according to the tutorial, with the FPS import, which is why I think the animation won’t play. Either way, I learned alot.

Creating a Wooden Interior: Inspiration from Legend of Zelda

I really wanted to create a Deku tree from the legend of zelda and am curious about how to create a hollow cylinder using Unity. In the meantime, I simply experimented with different wooden materials and lighting. There are two different interiors in the project.

Week One Reflection - Learning the Basic Unity Interface

Hello: 

So for the past couple of weeks I have been learning how to  navigate the Unity 3D User Interface. Although I have dabbled in several 3D graphics programs, I have never used a 3D gaming engine, so I needed to take 1000 steps back so I could take a million steps forward. Here is what my environment was looking like during week one's exercises: 

I had very limited understanding on how to rotate the cameras between perspective and iso mode, how to zoom in and out, how to import and utilize assets. And I definitely didn't know anything about the code. 

Thanks to an awesome classmate, I learned about this great book entitled Unity 3.x Game Development Essentials. Although the tutorials do take some time and synthesis, after going through about 1/3 of the book (170 pages), i definitely understand alot more than what I did. In Week 2, I actually was able to work through some exercises to get a full blown terrain with lighting, textures, a sky box, some first person shooter action, and of course RAYCASTING and collision detection. :-)
