Unity as a presentation tool - Slideshow

I’m using unity as a presentation tool (instead of power point which most people use), and i have a question.

How can i make a slideshow inside unity? using left and right arrow to flip through the different pages?

Hi,
First of all: A super-eyecandy-FX-3D-Slideshow plugin for Unity would be definitely cool :slight_smile:
However, Unity is an Interactive 3D Engine and if you don’t know how to make a slideshow with it, I strongly recommend you to use something like PowerPoint or Impress or Keynote.
It’s like you want to drive a highway with an airplane. It’s possible, however you have to be very Airplane-skilled to achieve that :wink:

Basically, you would use planes textured with your slides. You have to be experienced in texturing so everything looks crisp and sharp. Now you could trigger plane-animations the desired way using the left and right arrow key inputs.
Another possibility would be to use Unity’s GUI System so you can get your slides pixel-perfect onto screen. Then you wouldn’t have any 3D possibilities, though.

All in all, i strongly recommend you to use a tool that’s built for slideshows or presentations.

Yes i know Unity is a Interactive 3D Engine.

But this presentation wasnt intended to be for some giant multi-corporation company, its just a small school projects for 5 mins, which is why it would had been cool to have something other then just a regular powerpoint (since everyone else uses powerpoints)

Ive already done something similar using a video texture and a script to pause it, however I was wondering if there were any “cheaper” way since movie textures can be a little expensive, especially when using high quality and long runtime ._.

So i was mostly wondering if anyone had a simple script which could fade (say the material of a plane or box) to another material

EDIT: I should probably mention that this is an interactive presentation, where the player is free to go around and explore, however I need something that the player can interactive with (this is the presentation)
