Sound: Advanced Topics I (GR6610, Fall 2024) week 9

Unity/uRTcmix (continued)

video of this class

More Unity fun! We made a scene from Antarctica (thanks for the inspiration, Ihlara!). This time we working with particle systems (snow!) and hidden audio/GameObject triggers. The "Catcano" is worth the price of admission, for sure.

Links

There's a bunch of tutorials for Unity on-line. Google "unity particle systems tutorial" (for example) and you'll see what I mean. Here are a few covering particle systems thet I think are pretty decent:

last week's class -- links to a lot of the basic items you can use.
Unity particle systems tutorial -- looks pretty complete. The original Unity particle system video I used no longer seems to be on-line (it was about 70 minutes long).
another particle systems intro tutorial -- relatively short, but seems a good intro.
another tutorial -- this sounds like the person who did the original tutorial I used. Much shorter though.
free snowman -- this is the link in the Unity Asset Store to the 'FREE snowman' package I used for the snow texture and snowing particle system. If you search for "free snowman" in the Asset Store, you will see some otheers (including the 'creepy snowman')

Class Downloads

week9-unity.zip -- Antarctica! Cats! Snow! The Unity project we did in class. This time I deleted the "Library" folder before making this archive. This means that when you first load it, none of the work we did will show, and the "Scene" will be listed as "Untitled". Go to the "Scenes" folder in the Assets and double-click (or maybe single-click, I forgot) on the "SampleScene" and it will rebuild the scene properly.
