Lake and the woods

Things i learned

I was really looking forward to this project. I heard about Unity for the first time this summer and was really waiting for it.Creating your own 3D world? That was something i wanted to do when i was a boy. Although, i'll have admit that the Unity's UI is something which should be worked on.

Due to time restrictions, i chose to work on small scale setting. At this moment with winter approaching, i went ahead and made a tropical scene with a small lake and a good forest cover with a few houses thrown in. I chose to add sound to the Lake but just couldn't get the spatial audio to work. That is something i'll work on next. Next i'd like to add interactivity in my characters- make my scene lively. Also, i'd have preferred adding some grass textures in my scene to make it look more realistic.

The biggest problem i faced was that whenever i moved my character, it was extremely laggy, which is apparent in the video. I googled but i couldn't find anything useful.

Thought exercise 

I'd really like to use photogrammetry and make a 3D map of syracuse in unity. Photogrammetry will allow me to use my skills as a photographer to achieve realistic 3D models for my projects in unity, and that is something i'd like to explore.

I think i'll go with Non Fiction stories about everyday life and create scenarios just like Harvests of Change , Hunger in Los Angeles and Project Syria
