Unity Tutorial 05

So this weeks Unity Tutorials might have been the most straight forward ones so far. The steps were really easy to follow and it said each part of the tutorial would take 1 hour each, I don't think the two of them combined took me that long!

In the first part of the Tutorial I introduced a Cinemachine which basically is a better camera setup than the MainCamera that is in your scene when you create a new scene. By adding this I was able to attach it to my Ruby GameObject so that when I press play the camera follows wherever Ruby goes. I also created Camera Bounds so that the camera won't show anything outside of my map. One thing I did find a little confusing at first was the Layer Collision Matrix but with the help of the Tutorial i figured out what it all meant.

The next part of the tutorial was adding a Smoke Particle Effect to my robot. Again, this was very easy to follow and step by step went through how to randomize the smoke effect, the size and the speed of the smoke to whatever way you want. 

At the start of the semester when I realised there were no video tutorials I was worried but the steps have been very detailed so it's worked out fine so far, hopefully it continues for the next 2 tutorials!

A Brief Introduction To a Life in Isolation

For anybody in the CDM course who doesn't know me yet my name is Seán Clarke and I'm 24 (until Sunday). I'm from Dublin and live in Swords which is about a 20 minute drive by car from the Blanchardstown Campus or what feels like an 8 hour bus journey in the mornings. 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 the first time I heard about Coronavirus I didn't think anything of it really and I think majority of people felt the same. I thought it was going to be like the bird flu and that it was being blown out of proportion. The first time I think it felt real for me was when Daniel McSweeney came in to our lecture and gave us an update on how it was going to affect our college life. It was quite daunting at first and it made me nervous for both the rest of the semester and life in general.  The last sense of normality I was trying to t

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. What I achieved this week: -Creating Project -Organising Assets needed -Creating River for scene -Creating Jungle for scene -Bringing the Player (boat) into scene -Creating FollowPlayer and PlayerController Scripts Creating Project The first thing that I did is the easiest part of the whole project - creating the project file in Unity. 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
