What you need for this book
Understanding key animation concepts is necessary to complete the chapters in this book. In addition, you will need the following:
- Unity 5 installed on your machine (Mac or PC). The free personal version of the software is sufficient for all of the project content in this book. This can be downloaded from the Unity webpage.
- A little understanding of 3D software, x, y, and z coordinates, translating, rotating, and scaling elements within the Unity viewer interface.
- A basic understanding of Unityscript or C# will be helpful to complete the projects, though the code that is included is clearly explained.
- Additional 3D software is useful, but not required. The industry standards Autodesk Maya and 3ds Max both have free 30-day trials, which can be downloaded from the main Autodesk website. Blender is a free alternative.
