Thanks to the Unity community, you’ll be able to connect with other developers, work together on new projects, and make some incredible games! Why Learn From Me This is the first and only Unity game development course that has been co-created with Unity Technologies on Udemy.  Because learning to code can be daunting, Unity Technologies wanted to create a course that helps new developers feel comfortable exploring the engine and developing games. I believe that the best way to learn how to code is by doing. Therefore, this is a highly interactive series that does not spoon-feed you the answers. The unique challenges integrated throughout this Unity course will ensure you not only know how to code something, but you also understand the logic behind it. As a self-taught software engineer , I found that there simply weren’t any high-quality video tutorials that allowed beginners to truly grasp concepts essential to game development. To remedy this, I created my own YouTube video series focused on Unity game development, where I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of other people grow their passion for game development. I’ve been working in Unity since the initial public release of version 2.6, and I’ve authored a book on Unity 3.X. Since beginning my career in software development, I’ve been fortunate enough to develop games for Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, and several indie game companies. I’ve also developed enterprise augmented reality applications for Fortune 500 companies like Coca-Cola, GE, and Thyssenkrupp. Teaching has always been a passion of mine, and I hope you will see that throughout this course. Upon completing this Unity course, you will understand the basic concepts of C# programming and be able to continue developing your own 2D and 3D games. You will also feel confident knowing that you have mastered the latest and greatest game development techniques that will propel you to success in your professional or personal aspirations. Join me on this adventure today!  I’ll see you inside the course.

Now Updated for Unity 2017 to 2019 This course presents a comprehensive guide to programming with Cg and High Level Shader Language in Unity's Shaderlab, to create your own visual surface effects for colouring and lighting game objects. It covers the mathematics of light and surfaces and steps you through the recreation of some of the most popular shaders. Many computer graphics concepts will be presented to help you understand the graphics pipeline and provide you with an essential toolkit of rendering knowledge, that will have you developing your own transparent, animated and texturised shaders in no time. In this course, Penny teaches all the invaluable skills you will require to program the computer graphics pipeline in Unity from scratch using her internationally acclaimed teaching style and knowledge from over 25 years working with games and graphics.  But hold on tight as you'll be taken on a journey across the computer graphics realm as it is taught to post-graduate university students. Through detailed descriptions and hands-on workshops examining all you need to know about rendering queues, vector mathematics, graphics buffers, colour theory, 3D meshes, texture mapping, lighting models and much more. Learn how to program and work with: variables and packed arrays meshes, vertices and UVs the mathematics for working with objects in 3D and 2D spaces a variety of lighting models from creating flat shaded objects to highly reflective shiny surfaces bump maps for adding extra depth and dimension to surface textures special effects such as holographic, scrolling textures and surface deformations the variety of graphics buffers used in the rendering pipeline forward and deferred lighting surface, vertex and fragment shaders written in CG/HLSL volumetric rendering Contents and Overview After diving right in and creating your very first shader from scratch, we will begin the lessons by examining how 3D models are structured and how that is used within shader code to colour and display the surface in computer graphics. You'll discover all the properties of a shader and how they can be controlled in code and via values fed in through Unity's Inspector. Following this, we will examine a variety of lighting models and how lights and surface textures can influence the final look of a render. Included here, an overview of the buffers involved in the rendering queue will be given with practical examples for creating special effects that require more than one draw call. Students will also be exposed to the power of vector mathematics and especially the dot product and its role in creating beautiful effects such as outlines, rim lighting and holograms. In addition, issues surrounding transparency and blending will be discussed along with many practical hands-on workshops in which students can flex their newfound skills to interrogate the code they write for better understanding. The next section brings together all the skills learned throughout together, to develop some of the more popular complex shaders including animated plasma and animated water with waves. Finally volumetric shaders are covered in which you will follow along to create special effects such as fake geometry, fog and clouds. What students are saying about this course: This is the best course I've ever taken. It is perfect for me. I worked for 15 years in feature animation. A large part of my career was spent developing shaders for a proprietary renderer. This course has already helped me to bring the value of my previous experience into Unity. Best shader course I've come across. There are enough and more tutorials on youtube to teach you how to develop your own shaders, but nothing falls into the class of Penny's tutorials. They are clear and to the point. Really happy about this one. Wow! Thank you so much! If there were 10 stars - this course would deserve it. Going from absolutely knowing nothing about Shader writing to have a profund understanding about it..... I wanted to let you know that I just finished your shader course and thought it was fantastic. It was a pleasure to take the course and finally get a grasp on a topic that seemed so foreign to me not so long ago. Your teaching style and personality really worked for me and made learning a breeze!

That means the latest version of Unity and the latest version of Visual Studio . We'll also go over everything you need to make you feel right at home and how to use the course to maximize your learning potential. We'll finish off by creating our first code with a very simple game just to take the pressure off. Section 2 - Magic Game Cube: C# & Unity Basics: This is where things get heated up. We'll start by leaning what Version Control is which is an incredibly powerful tool for game developers and used by professional programmers around the world. We'll learn the basics of C# so even if you have ZERO CODING EXPERINCE you can still understand everything and learn how to build great games and continue on with the project. We'll also get a grasp on the fundamentals of Unity Engine and how everything works in it. Section 3 - Castle Conquest: Setting Up Our World: We begin our Main Project. We'll start off by setting up our world, and what better place than the Game Design and player experience of our game. We'll add sprite sheets slice them. You'll learn how all these maps in 2D platformers are so easily created and understand how it's not as hard as it seems. We'll add our character who's a great Conqueror wielding his trusted Hammer and you'll get your first taste of animations. Section 4 - Castle Conquest: Creating Our Conqueror: Here is where you go deeper into making our character feel alive. We'll give him the ability to move in the levels we created and interact with various things like the walls and so on. Our Conqueror will jump , climb , run , flip and just stand there sometimes Idling. We'll also implement a modern game development technique called CINEMACHINE that makes our game really cool and professional. Section 5 - Castle Conquest: Adding Enemies & Bombs: It's where things get a bit scary because our Conqueror is no longer safe. There are new threats inside his castle with pigs roaming and bombs ready to explode at any moment. We'll add enemies , animated them and make them hurt our Conqueror if he walks too close to them. We'll also add hazards like bombs that blow our player up if he doesn't keep a safe distance after they start burning. Section 6 - Castle Conquest: Controlling Our Game: This is where we add lives to our player, we add more levels and add a score to get anyone playing our game a goal that they should achieve. Make everything in our world much more interesting and fun to experience. This is also where we add Sound Effects to our world and really make everything come alive. Bonus Section: This is where we do a little bit extra. We delve deeper into the UI canvas of our game and make it much better to look at. We add all the SFX we have available, so that everything we interact with has a sound attached to it, and finally we tweak the progression of the levels by adding a couple of new animations to our player.
