This specialization features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the specialization. In this hands-on specialization, you’ll build a robust inventory system using Unity 6 and Blender. You’ll start by understanding inventory algorithms and data structures, using scriptable objects to store item data and manage slots. You’ll then dive into player interactions, implementing item pickups, inventory management, and custom editor creation. Next, you’ll design a seamless, user-friendly UI in Unity, including creating 3D item previews, managing tab controls, and sorting items. You’ll also add physics to dropped items for realism. By the end, you’ll integrate the backend inventory system with the UI for a fully functional game mechanic. This specialization is ideal for aspiring game developers with basic knowledge of Unity and Blender. It progresses through intermediate concepts and skills, requiring no advanced game development expertise but benefiting from prior scripting and 3D modeling experience. By the end, you will be able to design, develop, and implement a full inventory system in Unity 6, create 3D models in Blender, and build a seamless UI that integrates with your inventory. You’ll also learn to manage item interactions, physics, and testing within your game projects.

This course features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. In this course, you will learn how to create 3D models for inventory and asset systems using Blender. Starting from the basics, you’ll gain hands-on experience modeling simple items like potion vials, shields, swords, and axes, gradually progressing to more complex shapes and structures. As you work through each project, you will also learn the importance of export settings, material application, and Unity integration, ensuring your models are optimized for use in game development environments. The course begins with an overview of the project goals and scope, helping you define what you will accomplish. You will then dive into the basics of Blender, learning how to set up and import reference images, and explore different modeling workflows. With each object you model, you’ll gain confidence in using Blender’s tools, including parametric modeling and multi-object approaches, which are essential for creating game assets. The course concludes with testing your assets in Unity to ensure they are ready for implementation in a game environment. This course is ideal for aspiring 3D artists, game developers, and anyone looking to create game-ready 3D models for inventory systems. It is suited for beginners to intermediate learners who are eager to improve their Blender skills and start creating their own game assets. No prior 3D modeling experience is required, but familiarity with basic design concepts will be helpful. By the end of the course, you will be able to model 3D objects for games, apply materials, refine your meshes, and test them in Unity for use in inventory systems.

This course features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. In this course, you will dive into the world of 3D modeling and asset creation, focusing on texturing, sculpting, and integrating models into Unity. Starting with essential sculpting techniques, you will learn to create detailed 3D models, optimize meshes, and add realistic textures. The course will guide you step by step through the sculpting process, teaching you how to use dynamic topology, masking, and texturing brushes to bring your models to life. You'll also discover how to bake textures for better performance and efficiency. As you progress, you will explore the process of UV unwrapping, both automatically and manually, and learn the importance of preparing your model for texturing. You’ll gain the skills to create custom textures and bake essential maps like roughness, metallic, and normal maps, optimizing your models for game environments. The course culminates with the export of textures and models to Unity, ensuring you can seamlessly integrate your creations into a game engine for real-time applications. This course is ideal for aspiring 3D artists and game developers who want to master the skills of modeling, texturing, and Unity integration. No prior experience in 3D modeling is necessary, though familiarity with Blender basics will be beneficial. This course is designed for learners who are interested in game asset creation, whether you are just starting or looking to refine your skills. By the end of the course, you will be able to sculpt detailed models, create custom textures, bake texture maps, and export your assets for use in Unity.
