3D assets and environments

Create and optimise 3D content.

📖 Key ideas

  1. 3D models: meshes, materials and textures.
  2. Tools: Blender (free), Maya; assets from Unity Asset Store, Sketchfab.
  3. Optimise polygon count and texture sizes.
  4. Use LODs (Level of Detail) for distant objects.
  5. Bake lighting for performance.
💡 Real-life example: Building a VR world is set design: detailed where the audience looks, simple far away.
