Course Content

Geometry exchange between Unity and other software applications

• Import of geometries to Unity
• Import workflows of different source formats in the correct layout
• Troubleshooting of common geometry formats and the practical application of exchange
• Splitting of the geometry surfaces - Animation transports
• further topics

polygons, textures and UV coordinates

• Setting up the geometry and its various properties such as normals and display deviations
• Reasonable textures and their access in shaders for accurate and good-looking objects in Physically Based Rendering
• UV coordinates and their groupings in summaries for flexibility in displaying objects
• Setup of the relevant parts in one of the generalized forms across several software packages
• Usage in Unity
• Access to shader surfaces

Shaders and materials

• Understanding of shaders and the associated materials
• Summary of all parts in one complete Renderpass
• Surfaces, textures, lights and other influences to create correctly lit pixels
• These concepts must be fully understood at each pass to get the right output from the right input.

Physically Based Rendering in Theory

• Display accurate surface properties
• Distinction between e.g. metal, plastic or any other intermediate level between artificial materials in their representation
• Planning which texture files and shader capabilities are needed to visualize virtually anything that might occur in a project.
• Advanced texture workflow via Allegorithmic Substance Painter
• Integration into the pipeline
• The result: a high-quality look for any asset directly in Unity

Post-Processing of the contents

• The final finishing
• Post-effects such as clipping and correct anti-aliasing
• Various examples of Unity's ability to beautify the final image.
• In this scenario, performance is an important consideration and will be discussed with the participants in more detail.

Virtual Reality with Oculus

• Interaction with scenes in Virtual Reality
• Export and deployment of the application on an Oculus VR-glasses
• Tips & tricks for the development of VR content

User interface developers, engineers, 3D developers

Prerequisites

The focus of the course is on the realization of a production pipeline, so you should have completed the Unity Fundamentals training in advance or have practical experience in Unity. You should have a solid understanding of the programming process necessary for interactivity within their scenes. Cross-application knowledge in modeling and texturing 3D programs (Cinema, 3Ds Max, Blender, Maya etc.) is necessary for the graphical part of the course.
