Overview

Summary

In this tutorial, you’ll begin working in the Unity Editor with more independence than you experienced with the Microgames. You will start by creating a new Unity project and 3D Scene from scratch. Then, you will work with GameObjects and explore the various ways you can manipulate them in the Unity Editor. In this tutorial, you will:

Create a new 3D project and Scene.
Create new 3D GameObjects.
Select 3D objects in both the Hierarchy and Inspector windows of the Unity Editor.
Move, rotate, and scale 3D objects using numerical values using the Transform Component in the Inspector window.
Move, rotate, and scale 3D objects in the Scene view using the Unity transform tools.
Link GameObjects in parent-child relationships using the Hierarchy window to create complex GameObjects. 
Identify the relationship between the properties displayed in the Inspector and the display of GameObjects in the Scene.
