3D Models for Virtual Reality
This course will begin your journey to creating Virtual Reality experiences. A Virtual Reality experience is a new world that you step into and are entirely immersed in. Creating a VR experience means creating that world and all the objects in it. In this course you will learn the basics of 3D graphics: how we create objects and how to lay them out to create an environment. You will learn techniques like materials and texturing that make your objects appear realistic. You will also learn about audio techniques to ensure that your experiences sound great as well as looking great. In all of these topics we will pay attention to the particular requirements of Virtual Reality, including pitfalls and performance issues: making sure your environment runs fast enough in VR.
You will learn all of this using the professional game and VR engine, Unity3D. Unity is one of the most used game engine and is a relatively easy, but fully featured, introduction to 3D development.
The course will culminate in a project in which you will create your own VR scene. VR development is something you can only learn by doing it yourself, so working on your project will be the best way to learn.

ONLY PROBLEMS I HAVE NOT COMPLETE PEER BECAUSE IT IS VERY DIFFCULT
Interesting and insightful, however, the quality of the videos can be improved, both audio and video.
It was a good course. Had an informative and wonderful topics in this course.
Good course to get started in VR dev without freaking out! A glimpse of scripting and mostly getting used to the software by assets management.
