Creative Core: Audio Quiz

Learn how to implement audio in Unity by creating a soundscape for a scene containing ambient audio effects, event-triggered sounds, and special sound effects.

Audio is one of the most overlooked aspects of interactive development, but it’s also one of the first things that can disrupt a user’s immersion if it’s done poorly — or worse, completely forgotten about. 

In this mission, you will learn how to implement audio effects in Unity by creating a soundscape for an outdoor scene. You’ll create ambient audio effects, trigger sounds with events, and modify sounds with special effects.

By the end of this mission, you’ll be able to:

Produce customized results by correctly configuring audio in a scene

Create interactive experiences by synthesizing audio experience design principles

Solve accessibility challenges in an audio design

Creative Core: Shaders and materials quiz

Learn how to use shaders and materials to define how 3D objects look: their colors, reflectivity, and physical texture. 

Shaders and materials let you define how your 3D objects look: their colors, reflectivity, and physical texture. With shaders and materials, you can bring realism into your projects or express your own artistic style. 

In this mission, you will explore concepts of light and reflection, including common terms that many 3D artists use every day. You’ll apply these concepts to create your own materials and shaders that simulate real-world objects — and even some other-worldly objects. You’ll complete this mission by creating a still life composition in which you can demonstrate a variety of shaders and materials. 

By the time you complete this learning experience, you will be able to:

Explain how surfaces in Unity are defined and rendered.

Select a type of shader for your own project.

Create materials for a common shader, using a wide variety of properties.

Create your own simple shader using Shader Graph.

Creative Core: Lighting quiz

Discover the fundamental principles of lighting for real-time experiences, and gain practice lighting indoor and outdoor scenes in the Unity Editor.

Whether you’re exploring the architectural design of your new house, sneaking through a haunted castle in a stealth game, or immersing yourself in the world of a cinematic animation, good lighting takes a real-time experience to the next level. From the basics of illuminating a space to telling evocative stories through your design: lighting will help you get there.

In this mission, you will light an indoor and outdoor space in the Unity Editor and learn about the fundamental principles of lighting for Unity experiences along the way. You’ll finish by applying what you’ve learned to complete your own lighting study.

By the time you complete this learning experience, you’ll be able to:

Implement appropriate lighting in a scene in a manner that will simulate the real-world behavior of light

Decide the appropriate lighting system in order to achieve common outcomes in a Universal Render Pipeline (URP) project

Configure light sources and shadows in order to functionally light a scene

Creative Core: Animation Quiz

Learn to bring motion and the illusion of life to characters and environments by creating and configuring animations in the Unity editor.

The world around you is in constant motion. The same is true for digital worlds. A static environment tends to appear unfinished, or cold and unfeeling; animation is all about creating the illusion of life.

In this mission, you will learn how to create animations in the Unity editor and how to configure animations imported from an external program. You’ll apply these concepts to add animation to objects and characters in your scenes, and even control when the animation gets played.

Creative Core: VFX Quiz

Learn to create your own visual effects - simulated motion effects added to enhance a scene - using Unity's Particle System and VFX Graph.

VFX are simulated motion effects added to enhance a scene, ranging from a subtle splash of water to a massive fiery explosion.

In this mission, you will learn to create your own visual effects, including fire, weather effects, and a puff of smoke. 

Decide whether to use Unity's Particle Systems or VFX Graph in order to produce an effect in your scene.

Produce environmental and burst effects by configuring Unity's Particle System object.

Cameras are your eyes into an interactive experience. They can be fully dynamic, fixed, or tied to a character. In this mission, you’ll explore the different camera types common to interactive experiences. You’ll also learn some basic camera shot terminology and practice recreating iconic scenes from popular media.

Decide which Camera setup to use, given a project’s requirements

Creative Core: Post-processing Quiz

Learn how to use post-processing - tools and filters that can enhance the visual presentation of a scene - to achieve a particular look and feel in a real-time project.

Post-processing is just like applying filters to a photo you take with your phone. This can make your scene look more beautiful and interesting. In this mission, you will use post-processing to achieve a particular look and feel in a scene.

Evaluate whether post-processing is an appropriate tool for a given goal.

Implement a particular visual style in a project by configuring a post-processing profile.

Creative Core: UI quiz

Learn to create visual and interactive user interface components – such as images, text, buttons, and toggles – while designing your own title screen and settings menu.

A user interface is what allows a user to interact – or interface – with an application. A UI often includes images, text, buttons, toggles, sliders, or dropdowns. In this mission, you will design your own title screen and functional settings menu. 

Decide on a user interface approach for a project.

Create and configure visual UI components in a manner that will respond appropriately to different screen sizes and resolutions.

Creative Core: Prototyping quiz

Submit your independent or guided project

Learn about some different approaches to prototyping and explore an example we’ve created as you work on your own prototype.

Before you get caught up in developing your dream project, it’s important to start a little smaller and create a prototype. Prototyping gives you the opportunity to work out what should really be at the heart of the real-time experience you want to make and to test out different approaches to achieve that.

In this mission, you’ll learn about some different approaches to prototyping and explore an example we’ve created as you work on your own prototype. This learning experience is about process rather than a set outcome; if you’re new to prototyping, we hope you’ll find something useful no matter what you want to create!
