An application built in Unity will be made up of a project. This project will contain all the necessary elements that we'll need in order to develop the application, such as models, scripts, plans, menus, and much more. When you start up Unity, you can open a project by pointing to its root folder.
Each project contains one or more documents, called scenes. The projects that are created in Unity are structured into scenes, where a scene can be any part of the project. When we talk about applications, a scene can be from the start menu to any level or area of it. A single scene will contain many elements, such as a user interface, 3D objects, scripts, and so on.
Some of the main elements you can find in a Unity project are as follows:
- Assets
- GameObjects
- Components
- Scripts
- Prefabs
First, we will look at Assets.
