3 sections • 38 lectures • 1h 2m total length

Installing Unity1:00
Download Unity Hub from Unity's site to manage versions and projects, create a Unity account, and install the editor with the recommended version and optional Visual Studio as code editor.
Installing IDE0:45
Download the unity community version or via microsoft, then install and open vs code and add the required extensions.
New Project and configuring IDE1:00
Create a new Unity project by choosing a 3D template, naming it, and setting a location, then configure IDE by selecting a code editor like Visual Studio or VS Code.
Unity Editor and Panels Introduction1:30
Explore the Unity editor panels: scene, hierarchy, inspector, project, and game. See how objects and components define properties, then press play to run the game, noting changes aren't saved.
Hierarchy and Scene Tools1:00
Explore Unity's hierarchy and scene tools by adding and manipulating objects, using move, rotate, and scale tools, and viewing changes in the transform component in the inspector.
Camera0:51
Render game view with a camera in Unity; keep one camera per scene, adjust its size and background color, and manage audio listener to avoid console errors from multiple cameras.
Materials0:53
Apply materials to mesh objects in Unity to create color effects and varied appearances. Adjust color, metallic, smoothness, and emission settings in the inspector to simulate light with external sources.
Physics1:00
Explore Unity physics systems for 2D and 3D by adding rigidbody components and colliders. See how gravity, collision, triggers, and mesh colliders work in both 3D and 2D.
Scenes0:52
Manage scenes in Unity by creating or opening them from the project panel, save with ctrl + s, and add scenes to build settings for final inclusion.
Prefabs0:55
Create and reuse objects in Unity using prefabs by dragging items to the project panel, duplicating them, and applying changes to all prefabs.
Animation3:00
Master Unity's animation system to create and edit animation clips with keyframes, use the animator controller for transitions and parameters, and apply animations to objects and their children.
User Interface (UI)1:40
Add a canvas in Unity, switch to 2d mode, and place text or image user interface objects; adjust canvas scaler for full hd and configure render mode and order.
UI Objects (Buttons, Images etc!)3:00
Learn to add and configure Unity UI elements—images, text (text mesh pro), buttons, sliders, toggles, and scroll views—and arrange them with rect transform and color or source image settings.

Adding C# Scripts2:00
Add c sharp scripts to Unity objects via the add component menu, write functions like Start and Update, and understand compilation and console warnings.
Start(), Update(), Functions1:21
Learn how Unity's Start, Awake, and Update functions initialize objects and drive per-frame logic. Test destruction with Destroy and observe Debug.Log output as Update runs each frame.
C# Variables1:40
Public, Private, Serializedfield0:42
Master visibility in Unity by using public, private, and serializedfield to control inspector visibility, code access, and function visibility; undecorated members and functions default to private.
if, else, Switch statements2:10
Learn how if, else, and switch statements work in C sharp, with condition-based execution and examples. See negation with exclamation, else blocks, and how default handles unmatched switch cases.
Coroutine and Invokes0:55
Explore delaying code in Unity with invoke and coroutine, using a quoted function name and seconds, showing pre-delay and post-delay execution, with coroutine as the reliable method.
Loop Types1:12
Learn unity loop types, including while, do-while, and for loop, and see how initial values, goals, and increments control repeated code execution until conditions are met.
Arrays, Lists, Dictionaries2:20
Learn to use arrays, lists, and dictionaries in Unity to store data like torches, dialog lines, and characters. Access by index, inspect in inspector, and add, remove, or clear items.
Unity Events1:00
Set up Unity events by using UnityEngine.Events, create an event variable shown in the Inspector, and invoke it to trigger listeners that control objects or call other scripts.
OnTriggerEnter, OnTriggerExit, OnCollisionEnter, OntriggerStay2:10
Learn how Unity detects interactions between physics objects using OnTriggerEnter, OnTriggerExit, OnCollisionEnter, and OntriggerStay, requiring the is trigger property to be on to enable trigger-based events and one-time actions.
Referencing Other Scripts1:25
Reference scripts by exposing them as public or serializefield in the inspector and calling their methods or variables; ensure scripts are in the scene, or use a singleton for access.

Asset Store1:00
Log in to the Unity asset store, browse free assets or purchases, own them, and use the package manager to download into your project while reading asset descriptions for suitability.
Tweening in Unity2:38
Explore tweening in Unity using the DoTween asset to move, rotate, and scale objects with DoMove and other tweens. Learn how to set loops and OnComplete callbacks to control animations.
Using Scriptable Objects1:55
Learn how to create and use scriptable objects in Unity to store character data and game variables, edit them in the inspector, and access them in code via public variables.
Adding a character1:15
Add a character in Unity by using a free character controller, drop it into the scene, and configure movement, stamina, camera, and input controls via the inspector.
Render Pipelines2:14
Learn how Unity's three rendering pipelines—built-in, URP, and HDRP—shape game visuals and when to choose each for mobile, medium, or high-quality graphics.
Terrain2:02
Design and shape your map with the terrain system, painting textures, and adjusting height. Add layers and trees, and control brush size and tree density to create varied landscapes.
Adding your environment and Skybox1:38
Learn how to assemble a Unity environment using prefabs, drag-and-drop objects, and a custom skybox by configuring lighting and a procedural skybox material.
Light3:55
Explore Unity lighting with directional, point, spot, area lights; adjust color, intensity, shadows, spot angles for sunrise and sunset, set realtime, baked, mixed modes in linear color space.
Post Processing3:12
Learn how to apply post processing in Unity with URP or HDRP by adding a volume, enabling the camera, and using effects like depth of field, bloom, and color grading.
Collecting Objects2:25
Add a player controller script, create a rock prefab tagged collectible with a box collider set to is trigger, and use scriptable objects to persist collected data across play sessions.
Timeline2:32
Learn to use Unity timeline to run multiple animations and cinematic effects, edit and preview animations in a dedicated panel, and trigger signals, object activations, and code on events.
Save Your Game With 3 different Methods1:34
Explore how to save Unity game data to external files beyond editor-only scriptable objects and static variables, using PlayerPrefs, JSON, and the Easy Save asset (plus a free alternative).
Export2:09
Configure Unity export by adjusting build settings, adding scenes, and selecting platforms, then set player name, company, version, icon, splash image, and quality options before exporting with the build button.
All Documents0:05
