Start a new Unity project and save the main scene for your beachfront city. Import environment assets and a basic water asset to build the VR beach scene.
Learn how to set up beach assets for a Unity scene by modeling planes in a 3D tool, texture mapping, exporting as FBX, and importing with light maps and colliders.
Create a seawall asset for a city beach in Unity using textures, a normal map, and brick and concrete materials. Adjust UVs, apply light maps, and set up colliders.
Assemble city streets and sidewalks in Unity using prebuilt road and sidewalk assets, import them, enable colliders and lights, and snap vertices to connect pieces.
Finish the city block by importing building assets, stacking first-floor taller segments with remaining stories, and aligning textures with Virtex snapping, texture tiling, and UV mapping in Unity.
Import the Unity car asset, place it in a VR city, and enable a smooth follow camera to track the car, with barriers to prevent falls.
Merge an old car body with a new chassis for a Unity 5 asset, import the package, and place it in the scene with an interior, steering wheel, gear shift.
Import the standard Unity first person controller, place it beside the car, disable the car’s controller, and adjust the barrier and jump speed before converting to VR controllers.
Learn to turn a 3d game into a cardboard VR experience in Unity by importing the cardboard SDK, setting up the main prefab, and implementing gaze-based interactions with a raycaster.
Create a Unity VR player controller that responds to cardboard gaze and trigger events, changes colors on gaze, and handles gaze enter and exit with a click action.
Learn to set up the cardboard camera rig in Unity VR, adjust the near clip plane to reduce clipping, and align a humanoid with empty parent objects for head tracking.
Learn how to configure Unity player settings for VR by enabling virtual reality support for Samsung Gear VR and Oculus, set bundle identifiers, and set the minimum Android API level.
Explore a VR walk-through of a city, adjusting interaction layers so UI and interactable items stay on the UI layer, and test head tracking and window interaction.
Deploy to the cardboard platform by configuring Unity plug-in platforms and simulating head tracking with the mouse, then build for iOS or Android using Xcode or Android Studio.
Deploy Unity projects to Gear VR and Oculus by configuring Android builds, enabling virtual reality in player settings, adding an Oculus signature file, and deploying directly to a device.
Wrap up the series by building a city beach scene in Unity 5, adding a car and a first-person controller, then deploy to cardboard and gear VR with gaze interface.
