Essential Unity concepts

In the first section, we already went over some Unity concepts. We will go over them in a bit more detail here as you’ve read previously where several of these might be used. Unity houses a very modular focus on the items that are housed within the game development environment.

Assets

Unity treats every file as an asset; everything including a 3D model, a texture file, a sprite, a particle system, and so on. In your project, you will have an Assets folder as the base folder to house all of your project items. These could be textures, 3D models, particle systems, materials, shaders, animations, sprites, and the list goes on.
