Create a script for my 3d laptop model.

[DDD_Kiara]

Hi guys,

I am kind of new in Unity and working with 3D development. As part of my study we need to develop a Exit Game for VR devices bases on IT Security tasks which should be resolved to win the game.
For that we received a project form the courses last year who has started working on that.
We want to build a laptop with some functionalities like:

• get notification about incoming messages
• read Emails
• open Social media
• change password within Social media
• lock the laptop or even shut it down

I have found in the asset store a perfect laptop asset for free. I downloaded it and work on the scripts (and for sure the objects).
I just want to get some input how to develop the given functionalities.
I thought about doing sth like this:

• design various views of the screen and hide them, ex. the main
• create a script which says: if object (e.g. app Email) is touched with the controller hide the current screen and open a new one (e.g. Email Overview)
• for locking just add the shut down button to the keyboard and as soon as it is touched, unhide a black screen

Does that make sense? Is there any other way to develop an interactable laptop in unity?
How should the script look like? I do not have a clue…

Thanks a lot
Kiara

It sounds like you’re basically remaking a Twitter / Facebook / MySpace / WhatsApp client.

Are you aware of all that entails?

Whatever you do, if you do it all to a basic UnityEngine.UI.Canvas pane, then when you are done you can trivially make that into a world space Canvas and put it where your laptop screen is.

Good luck!

Just make a regular UI with either a world space Canvas or UI Toolkit with render texture?

Here is an example of a script that you can use to create a 3D laptop model in a 3D modeling software
Start by creating a new file in your 3D modeling software.
Create a basic rectangular shape for the laptop body. You can do this by using the “box” tool or creating a series of connected rectangles.
Add a screen to the laptop body by creating a smaller rectangular shape and positioning it on top of the laptop body.

Add a keyboard to the laptop body by creating a long rectangular shape and positioning it below the screen.

Add details to the laptop body such as speakers, a touchpad, and any logos or branding elements. You can do this by using simple shapes and the “extrude” tool to create 3D details.

Create any additional details that you want to include, such as ports or buttons, using simple shapes and the “extrude” tool.

Add materials to your laptop model to give it a realistic appearance. You can choose from a variety of materials such as metal, plastic, and rubber.

Add lighting to your scene to make the model more visible and add depth. You can do this by creating light sources or using ambient lighting.

Render your scene to create a final image of your laptop model

Save your model and export it as a 3D file format, such as OBJ or STL, to use it in other applications.

This is just a basic script to get you started. You can add more details or adjust the script as needed to create a unique and detailed 3D laptop model.
