Creating Games with Unity and Maya 2nd edition provides you with an end-to-end solution for Unity game development with Maya. This book takes you step-by-step through the process of developing an entire game from scratch - including coding, art, production and deployment. This accessible guide provides a "non-programmer" entry point to the world of game creation. Aspiring developers with little or no coding experience will learn character development in Maya, scripts, GUI interface, and first-and-their person interactions. Also included is access to a powerful website, www.creating3dgames.com…mehr
