I'm sure this is a really easy question...

Unity Engine

I’m a new user of Unity, and so far I haven’t concerned myself with the programming aspect, just the 3D-modeling capability.

Right now, I’m building with the basic blocks Unity offers in the Objects menu - spheres, cylinders, cubes, planes, etc. However, I’d really like to get hold of some other basic shapes, like pyramids or hemispheres or things like that. Do I need to be “importing” these using a different program? Currently the only 3D-ish thing I have on my computer is Unity.

Most of the questions I’ve seen in this forum seem to be from users who have moved way past this kiddie stuff - any experienced users with wise words for a novice?

If you’re on a budget, check out http://www.blender.org/ for 3D and http://www.gimp.org/ for 2D Asset creation. Those are arguably the best free (as in beer) tools out there for their purposes. I haven’t checked out blender in a while, but IIRC it’s pretty easy to learn if you’ve never used other tools before :wink:
