Set Up Your First 3D Scene in Unity

Hello everyone! In this project, we will create a 3D scene in Unity using our new gained knowledge! Setting up a basic scene in Unity is the first step to understanding making games with Unity. This project allows you to learn the basics of the Unity editor interface, and how to manipulate game objects in your game so that they are the perfect size and at the right locations. By the end of the class, you will be ablw to create interesting 3D scens in Unity, using some of the brillient assets on the asset store, and be ready to start adding interactivity into the game!

A. Create a basic scene inside Unity with primative game objects and objects from the Asset Store in various rotation, scale, and position.
