HI there i am a 3d artist and was wondering if there are any such things as templates for unity games where code is already written and the assets can be changed but keep the code. The reason i ask is because this would be valuable to artists to see how their models work during developement. A bunch of controls to make characters run, walk, turn etc or to drive a car. I have no programming knowledge so excuse me if this is a stupid question.
There are a couple available that will provide you a base that you can just add in your own assets, though really it is a big help to learn a bit of scripting to make sense of and expand these game templates; you might want to think of maybe joining a team looking for artists if you’re just looking to get a feel for the Unity pipeline.
Either way, you can find some within the Unity Asset Store, which is accessed through Unity itself not the website, or I know there are some on ActiveDen or individual pieces through GamePrefabs.
Thanx for the reply. I am currently working with a few programmers on a few different productions. Having unity to hand for importng models is great as i can see how they look in situ but the control factor would help even more,
Actually, I’m planning on releasing every game I make as a project template about half a year after they go on sale. Danger Flight is about due, and I’ll be finishing another game over the summer I plan to do that for as well. You’ll have to wait a bit, though.
There’ll also be a separate sold version that goes over every step of making the games, start to finish, with live coding demonstrations for the major scripts and discussion into the design behind all the code.
But again, that’ll not be out for a bit yet.
you can also use the standard asset in the unity editor itself
asset->import package that should had some standard package…
Thanks folks. I found that the unity first person controller gives me enough control to move around a 3d environment. This gives me a sense of how a game level will look and its great for working out proportions and scale. Im sure as time goes by i will be able to work out jump, duck and shoot controls to make a simple quake type game. Thanks again for your help
