Tips on Technology

After reading the first post about Technology Tools and the different ones we will use this semester I have learned specific programmes that can be used for Tools I have already heard of e.g Diigo for Bookmarking and Cheezburger for Graphics.

The different programmes that we have been recommended reminds me of Introduction to Digital Media in Semester 1, Year 1. We had to complete missions and use different technologies within the missions. I think these Technology Tools will be useful in many assignments in other modules as well as Multimedia Development.

Another skill I hope to work on this semester is how to design my blog in a more professional way - at the moment I think it looks pretty basic so I hope by the end of semester 1 it looks better.

I'm not going to talk too much about my upbringing or anything but more about what life in lockdown has been like for me. Enjoy and I hope I don't bore anybody too much!

So this week we had to start creating our game. It's been a busy week so the first thing that I done was set a timer on my phone for 3 hours and sat down to get the work done.

I went to Unity Hub and created a new 3D project which opened up my new scene.  Organising Assets Needed The next thing that I did was looked back on my Game Idea research where I had posted some different links to assets, I gathered the ones I needed and used them along with a few new tutorials to complete the headings below.  Creating River for Scene When making the river I created a new Game Object on Unity and under the 3D option I chose "Plane". I then went to Go
