To make the most of the limited time available for the XR Basics courses, we ask that you install the necessary software before the courses begin and familiarize yourself with the basics of Unity.
(If you encounter any difficulties, please send us an email in advance and we will work with you to find a solution. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide support with setting up computers and installing software during the workshop.)
Necessary software:
Course 2 – Introduction to digital media production with Blender:
Course 3 & 4 – XR development in Unity
- Set up a free Unity ID
- Install Unity Hub
- Install the Unity 6000.0.32f1 program (please use this exact version!) via Unity Hub
You can find instructions for this in the video tutorial 6 | HOW DO I INSTALL UNITY? and/or in the »Unity Installation Guide« as pdf here.
Unity basics:
For the basic courses, we assume you have a basic knowledge of Unity, i.e., you can navigate the editor, import digital content, and create simple animations. If you would like to refresh your knowledge, we recommend working through the following video tutorials:
7 | FIRST STEPS IN THE UNITY EDITOR: OVERVIEW, GAME OBJECTS, NAVIGATION, TRANSFORMATIONS >>>>
10 | HOW DO I CREATE MY FIRST AR FOUNDATION PROJECT (ANDROID / IOS)? >>>>
12 | HOW DO ANIMATIONS WORK IN UNITY? – ANIMATION WINDOW >>>>
13 | HOW DO ANIMATIONS WORK IN UNITY? – TIMELINE >>>>
Here you will find the complete list of our video tutorials on XR development. Please note: these are the original tutorials with a translated audio track. While the screen recordings of the software Unity are in English, some slides might be in German language.
After registering, you will receive a Unity project from us shortly before the courses begin, containing all the necessary packages and examples.
We are looking forward to your participation!
