内容介绍：
Unity Mobile Game DevelopmentCreating a polished game requires skilled artists from many different disciplines. To help teams work on a game development pipeline, Digital-Tutors brought together our top designers, illustrators, modelers, texturers, riggers, animators, game developers and programmers to create a working prototype for a potential pitch to publishers. With many of the assets created in past courses, we\'ve focused this series on the specific hurdles and production decisions that goes into each step of the game development pipeline. Creating games is usually a team effort, so while an individual artist may be able to create a similar game, we recommend this series to teams of skilled artists or individuals who want to learn a specific aspect of creating games, like low-poly modeling or game-logic scripting. Unlike our earlier Infiltrator series, these courses do not have a strict learning path, but instead are packaged individually to teach specific topics and techniques at various times in the game development cycle. This series is intended for artists already familiar with the software, so if a software is new to you, check out our Beginner\'s Guide and Introduction courses to quickly get up to speed on how to use that software. Creating a game requires many skilled artists to work together to correctly create assets for the rest of the pipeline.

04. Unity Mobile Game Development: Character and Weapon Modeling
12 tutorials
1 hrs. 40 min.
January 2, 2012
Author: Justin Marshall
In this series of tutorials, we will talk about the steps that we went through in order to build the character and weapon models for our Unity mobile game project. We will start by referencing our game document, which will be our guide through the process of creating our Unity game. We can find information on the look of our models but also on the desired resolutions of the models and textures. We will concentrate on creating game topology for our two characters and two weapon models. We will also cover map generation and texture painting as part of the process. In the end we will have models ready to be rigged and animated or plugged directly into the game engine. We will use a variety of software packages from Maya, to TopoGun, to ZBrush and Mudbox in order to prepare our assets so there will be a lot of back and forth. This course references some pre-made assets and covers methods for modifying and prepping those assets for this particular game. In most of these cases, if you\'d like to learn to build these assets from start to finish, there is a tutorial that will fill your need. For instance, in this course we look at the steps we went through to modify the biker character from Creating High Resolution Characters in ZBrush 4 and Creating Game Characters with Maya 2011 and ZBrush 4. So if you\'d like to build the character from scratch, those two courses will take you through the process. The same goes for the enemy tick creature, which is from the Introduction the Mudbox 2011, and the assault rifle from Creating Next-Gen Game Assets in Maya.

06. Unity Mobile Game Development: Communication with Notification Center
12 tutorials
1 hrs. 25 min.
January 2, 2012
Author: Chris Glick
In this Unity tutorial, we’ll learn various ways our scripts can access and talk to each other. We\'ll begin the tutorial by learning about all the built-in methods Unity gives us to talk between scripts and between objects. We\'ll learn the how to find and access scripts on any game object using either direct connections, finding the object or the physics system. Finally we\'ll examine how a script can call methods on many other scripts using the messaging system in Unity. Each of these methods has limitations, so next we\'ll introduce the 3rd party script \'Notification Center\' which acts as a central hub for easily communicating between multiple scripts. We\'ll learn how to post a new notification, how to observe a notification and how to pass data through the Notification Center. We\'ll wrap everything up by examining each of these methods and discuss which we should use in various situations. Understanding how our scripts will talk to each other lets us break our game into many script components, while still creating the functionality we need with the least amount of effort.
