New to Unity

Hi Everybody,

I’m Meikura and I downloaded Unity for the first time yesterday and been toying with it since. Unfortunately, I can’t afford the Pro licence (poor 19 year old student), but I’m hoping to buy the indie one soon.

Anyway, I’m primarily a graphics man. I’ve dabbled in programming, but I prefer the more arty side. Here’s some work I did in Cinema 4D:

So here’s me hoping my skills will be transferable to my projects :smile:

Anyway, hope to see you around!

welcome to the forums, I´m sure you will enjoy unity and the community

and nice concept!, will be the apple netbook? :smile:

It looks like a concept for an iphone with a real keyboard underneath the screen. A hinge mechanism like that would be hella expensive tho I should think.

Thanks guys!
Sorry, I should have mentioned: it’s a concept called the iPod slide.

I’ve been playing around with Unity for a few hours now, but I’m completely out of ideas at the moment!
I’m also finding the Indie licence a little restrictive too, but I’m sure I’ll find workarounds.

What do you find restrictive about the indie license? I’m still on indie myself.

Well, my friend and I used to use Irrlicht as our graphical engine. This meant we had dynamic soft shadows and created some pretty nice render-to-texture effects.

Unfortunately, it seems we’ve got used to those luxuries :frowning:

However, I’ve got to say, Unity blows Irrlicht away!

So it’s not “limiting” overall… :wink: :smile:

Welcome aboard!

Thanks :smile:

After having the Unity demo for 3 days now, I’ve not closed it once! I’m well into my first game project and it’s coming along very nicely!
