Does Unity work with any 3D models?
Yes.
Name six primitive object types that can be created within Unity?
-Cube
-Sphere
-Cylinder
-Tetrahedron
-Quad
-Plane
How will you add 3D object into your scene?
-The cube can bere-sculptedd into the shape of the colour
Game object, cube, cylinder, etc.
How a cube can be used to modelled a car body in Unity?
-Modifying the size so it is roughly proportional to a car.
How long are a cube’s edges in length?
-1 unit.
What primitive will be ideal for representing balls, planets and projectiles?
-Spheres
What is the diameter of a sphere in Unity?
-????????????????????????????
Explain how a Capsule has a height of two units?
-Because the shape is made out of two other shapes, a cylinder and two hemi circles, theses values are needed to make each the suitable size.
The capsule is a useful placeholder for prototyping; the physics of a rounded object are sometimes better than those of a box for certain tasks. Find the missing words?
What type of objects are created from cylinders?
-Meshes
What is a mesh?
-A mesh consists of triangles arranged in 3D space to create the impression of a solid object. A triangle is defined by its three corner points or vertices.
How does a plane primitive look like in Unity?
-A flat square with blue lines dividing it into 200 triangles
What type of objects can be created by using plane?
-2D textures
-Walls
-Floors
Describe a plane.
-This is a flat square with edges ten units long oriented in the XZ plane of the local coordinate space. It is textured so that the whole image appears exactly once within the square. A plane is useful for most kinds of flat surface, such as floors and walls.
Why will use quad over plane for showing images or movies in GUI and special effects?
-Quads are easier to use for displaying video or sprites
How a Quad is different in description from a plane?
-A quad is only divided into two triangles and is used more in cases where something needs to be displayed.
Fill in the blanks in the following sentence
-GUI and information displays can be implemented with quads, as can Particles, sprites and “impostor” images that substitute for solid objects viewed at a distance.
What are sprites?
-Sprites are 2D graphic objects used for characters, props, projectiles and other elements of 2D gameplay. The graphics are obtained from bitmap images
