Product Details
The courses in this series will help you prepare for the Unity Certified 3D Artist exam, the professional certification for entry- to mid-level Unity artists. 3D artists are critical to the Unity development pipeline. They are a bridge between the programmers writing the application code and the designers or art directors who define the application's aesthetics and style. In these courses, you will be challenged to complete realistic art implementation tasks in Unity that are aligned to the topics covered on the exam.
Description
Unity's only official series of courses to prepare for the Unity Certified 3D Artist exam. This specialization covers five topic areas distributed over 5 self-paced courses: Asset Creation and Management; Lighting, Reflection and Post-Processing Effect; Integrating Scripts for Scene Integrations; Character Setup; and Setting up Cutscenes.Participants in this Specialization will complete multiple project milestones across two main projects: a Kitchen Configuration application with a realistic aesthetic, and a 3D video game level with a more stylized science-fantasy look. Across these two projects, learners will complete tasks including importing assets, manipulating materials, creating prefabs, adding lighting, setting up character models, and building cutscenes.
About the Instructor
Unity Technologies is the creator of the worlds most widely used real-time 3D (RT3D) development platform, giving developers around the world the tools to create rich, interactive 2D, 3D, VR and AR experiences. Our 1000 person engineering team keeps Unity at the bleeding-edge of technology by working alongside partners such as Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Oculus to ensure optimized support for the latest releases and platforms. Experiences made with Unity reach nearly 3 billion devices worldwide, and were installed 24 billion times in the last 12 months. Unity is powering RT3D in architecture, automotive, construction, engineering, film, games, and more.
By successfully completing the projects in all four courses, participants will have had extensive, guided practice in the programming skills needed to pass the Unity Certified 3D Artist Programmer Eexam.
