Challenge: Recreate the scene

Throughout this project, you’ve learned how to work with the technical aspects of Unity cameras, as well as some design considerations that go into selecting the right kind of camera for your environment. At the start of this project, you were asked to review some of your favorite media for camera inspiration. Now, you’ll be tasked with recreating one of your favorite shots in Unity!

In this project you explored camera usage both inside and outside of the Editor. In Unity, you learned how to:

• Define how a camera renders a scene using its Projection properties.
• Make an experience more accessible by modifying a camera’s Field Of View properties based on the application type.
• Determine when a situation calls for a perspective or orthographic camera.
• Control what a camera can see within its view with clipping planes and culling masks.
• Determine what kind of background the camera will render with Environmental properties.

You also explored many universal camera subjects, such as popular camera views and angles for interactive experiences.

In this challenge, you will select a dynamic scene from a piece of media and try to recreate it in Unity.

• Take a screenshot of your selected shot so you can compare it with the final outcome of this challenge.
• In Unity, use primitives to roughly recreate all of the set pieces in the scene, or alternatively, make use of assets you find in the Unity Asset Store!
• Once you’ve designed your set, try to recreate the camera setup from your screenshot.
• Once you’re finished, take a screenshot of your finalized shot and submit it along with your reference image.

You should expect to spend at least 30 minutes on this challenge.

Bonus: If you want an additional challenge, take what you learned in the Lighting and VFX projects and apply those skills to your scene as well. Try to replicate your reference image as closely as possible.

You’ll know you’re successful if you’ve met this criterion:

• Your scene is recognizable when placed next to the screenshot of the original scene.

Congratulations! You have completed the learning required for Creative Core Cameras.

You have the core skills and knowledge for one of the primary creative domains within the Unity Engine.

Now you’re ready to apply these skills in other projects! We can’t wait to see what you make next.
