Unity Physics Fundamentals
by Joshua Kinney
Nearly every game today utilizes physics in some fashion. This course will show you how to use best utilize physics with Unity by teaching you the fundamentals of triggers, colliders, rigidbody parameters, joints, and ragdolls.
What you'll learn
Nearly every game today utilizes physics in some fashion. This course, Unity Physics Fundamentals, will give you the knowledge you need to understand Unity's physics engine and allow you create rich, simulated experiences. First, you'll learn to work with triggers, colliders, and rigidbody parameters. Next, you'll dive into working with joints. After that, you'll explore ragdoll physics. Finally, you'll bring your knowledge together by building a car with wheel colliders. By the end of this course, you'll have a foundational understanding of using the best uses of physics in Unity.
About the author
Joshua is a devoted games author at Pluralsight. For years Joshua has been a key author behind Digital-Tutors' (now a Pluralsight company) popular game engine training. As a kid, he had a passion for playing video games, which eventually developed into a fascination with the process of game creation. The question of "How'd they do that?" led Joshua on a quest to learn to make these games himself. Ever since then, Joshua has devoted his life to creating games, as well as teaching others to build ... moretheir own fantastic video games.
He gets a huge sense of pride in knowing that he can make a difference in helping people create incredible games. From platformers to puzzlers, Joshua will gladly guide any artist who wants to start using a game engine and learn to put some power behind their polygons. At Pluralsight, he has been honored to develop the core curriculum for CryENGINE, Unity, UDK, and Unreal Engine 4.
