Why
This project was the second project in the Udacity Nanodegree program intended to teach the basics of unity such as:
- Adding 3D models to a scene
- Moving, scaling, and rotating 3D models
- Deploying to your Cardboard Viewer
- Creating materials and assigning textures
- Creating animations and triggering them
- Creating lights and baking them
- Optimizing a scene for top performance
How
Tools used for this project:
- Unity3D
- Google Cardboard
What
I learned how to setup a scene for VR and setup good looking lighting. I found out that manual level building is very time consuming, it took me quite awhile to line up props correctly even with the use of vertex snapping. I added a few things that was not on the project requirement, such as lights on the wall that flash out the word "Hello World." It was a very informative project and was a good introduction to dealing with lighting for mobile platforms.
