This is a trailer for an immersive education environment created in collaboration with the Writing for Interactive Media class, a part of the MFA program at Emerson College.
This video demonstrates the ability to import 3D builds from Maya into Unity. The process works the same for 3D Studio Max and other modeling programs that are compatible with Unity. Feel free to post comments and questions regarding the tutorial.
I have decided to explore Unity for the next stage in Authored Spaces: Old North Church. What I like about Unity is the ability to create a 3D space using computer animation software such as Maya or 3D Studio Max and import those models into Unity. From there you can export the created space for the web. In short, you can build 3D environments and embed them within an html page. What is great about this is that you no longer need to download a Virtual World client to view and engage with a 3D space. Better yet, if you want others to experience your build, you can simply email them a link rather than put them through the gamut of downloading, installing, and signing up for a Virtual World, not to mention the learning curve involved.
