Unity Learn

Hi all. Want start working with Unity 3d game engine. Previously work in UDK. So, give me advice, how can I start with this engine? Cuz I live in Ukraine, I not well understand video lessons without subtitles. So, advice some text tutorials. What book I must read? Thank You for help.

I look this books:

Beginning 3D Game Development with Unity: All-in-one, multi-platform game development

Unity 3.x Game Development Essentials

Unity 3.x Game Development by Example Beginner’s Guide

3

The second one is your best starting point. The third one gets into some quite complex things fairly early, and assumes you understand a lot, and the first one is more of a guide to creating a point and click style adventure game, although I haven’t read it so I can’t say much about it.

Will Goldstones book and website is the way to go. After that, go with the third book on your list.

edit: Did some more reading. The first one is really aimed towards artists (3d 2d)

First do these to get more out of whichever book you choose:

http://unity3d.com/support/resources/tutorials/

Those are free for sure, but they aren’t really beginner tutorials - more for people who know about programming and are new to Unity.

Will Goldstones site is

www.unity3dstudent.com and there are great absolute beginner tutorials there.

All of the above posts are worthless, I would recommend typing in “Unity 3D basics tutorial” in youtube and following a tutorial series. Thats how I learned unity.[quote=“lukasaurus, post:5, topic: 472695, username:lukasaurus”]

That was a bit harsh surely, calling our posts worthless?

2goat,
think that this tutorial aimed to introduce unity3d for people. but I need book that covers all features of game engine cuz I work previously in 3d and game design and programming. so, I choose Unity 3.x Game Development Essentials, than I must read unit3d documentation
