Unity is more than just a game engine—it’s a powerful real-time 3D platform transforming industries like manufacturing, architecture, and engineering. In this module, you’ll learn how Unity is used for industrial applications, explore real-world examples, and understand the core benefits of real-time 3D development in professional workflows. 

Module 1: Introduction to Unity Industry Applications

Now that you understand how Unity is used in industry applications, it's time to set up your own project in Unity. This module will guide you through the essential steps to create, configure, and optimize a Unity project for your specific workflow. Whether you're working with real-time visualization, simulations, or interactive environments, setting up your project correctly ensures efficiency, organization, and performance optimization from the start.

Module 2: Setting Up a Unity Project

In this module, you’ll get a hands-on introduction to Unity’s interface, learning how to navigate, customize, and efficiently work within the editor. Understanding how to use key windows like the Scene View, Game View, Hierarchy, Project, and Inspector will set the foundation for a smooth and productive workflow.

Module 3: Navigating the Unity Editor

GameObjects and Scenes are the core building blocks of any Unity project. In this module, you’ll learn how to create, modify, and organize GameObjects, structure your scenes effectively, and apply essential transformations like moving, rotating, and scaling objects. You’ll also explore parent-child relationships, multiple scene management, and best practices for keeping your projects structured.

Module 4: Working with GameObjects and Scenes

Now that you’ve learned how to import, organize, and manage assets, it’s time to apply those skills in a real-world project! In this module, you’ll build a virtual showroom, a commonly used interactive visualization in industries like architecture, automotive, and manufacturing. You’ll learn how to set up a scene, arrange 3D models, apply materials, adjust lighting, and create a functional showroom that displays assets in an interactive environment.
