Adding background characters
An easy addition that we could quickly make is background characters. Even though we already have our animated sequence done, having background characters can liven up the environment even more. It’s great to have a main cast, but just having people in the background who are talking and taking up space can make the environment feel a lot more immersive and fuller as opposed to having a big open space that feels lifeless. We can revisit the People_Prototype
prefab that we made and add audio sequences and animations, as well as replace the 3D model with the X Bot
and Y Bot
models that we downloaded. The best part about these models is that we can switch up the materials on them, giving them a variety of different looks.
To replace our People_Prototype
prefab with a 3D model, follow these steps:
- In the
Prefabs
folder, double-click thePeople_Prototype
prefab to open it. - Find the
X Bot
3D model and add it as a child of thePeople_Prototype...
