Summary


In this chapter, we have learned to create an indoor environment using basic shapes and standard assets. We have applied different transformations, including moving, scaling, and rotating. We have also learned about colliders and their importance for our game. Finally, we have used a built-in water object or prefab to simulate water in our game. In the next chapter, we will learn how to use JavaScript and interact with objects within the Unity3D scene.
