Applying 2D Colliders for Physics Interactions
Tutorial
Beginner
+10 XP
15 Mins
For assets in a 2D project to have a physical presence in the Scene and be able to interact with each other, they must have a 2D Collider. A 2D Collider is a component that helps define an asset’s physical shape to determine how it will interact with other colliders in a Scene. In this tutorial, you'll learn about the types of 2D Colliders you can use, and you'll apply a Collider to a GameObject.

Controlling Unity Camera Behavior - 2019.3
Tutorial
Intermediate
+10 XP
25 Mins
In this tutorial, we’ll dive deeper into Unity Cameras with scripts that control their behavior. We’ll start out with a 2D Camera that works from any perspective (in this case, we’ll be using it in an overhead view). Next, we’ll move on to 3D with a Camera that smoothly transitions — with a flick of the mouse scroll wheel — from first-person to third-person and back. This Camera is suitable for games, VR, or architectural walkthroughs, as seen in many modern and classic 3D titles.
