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
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
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)
