Making an animated 3D UI warning
Warnings in games can be provided in many ways, for doing both the right and wrong things. However, having the option of 3D capabilities allows us to create more interesting and dynamic warning messages.
How to do it...
- To begin, let's create our warning in the UI. We can start by adding a panel. Right-click on the Hierarchy panel, then go to UI | Panel and rename it as 3DWarning.
