\"\"<\/h2>\n

Thing made of things
\nArtfully arrange a given selection of assets from the game Everything<\/a>. Use these objects as building blocks to create an object that in the process renders the original objects secondary (but not necessarily unimportant).
\nIt doesn’t have to be realistic nor to follow the law of physics! Play with scale and forms, it can be surreal and impossible.
\nYou can use models found online but there are many things to consider, watch this video first.<\/a><\/p>\n

Requirements<\/h2>\n

Change background and ground color by changing the materials
\nStay within the round area in the scene<\/p>\n

Deliverable<\/h2>\n

The delivery format is 1 to 3 still images showing no interface elements.
\nThe screenshot must be taken from Unity’s play mode<\/strong> through script provided.
\nHit play > Move camera with WASD + QE + right mouse to orbit.
\nBy default screenshots are taken with the space key
\n<\/strong>Screenshots will appear in the assets folder under “screenshots”.
\nThe first time you may have to right click on the assets panel and hit refresh.<\/p>\n

You can also take a video with the camera rotating around the sculpture.
\nTo record HD videos follow this tutorial<\/a><\/span>
\n<\/span>The recordings end up in the project folder, the same where the assets folder is. NOT in assets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Post them along with a title.<\/p>\n

Grading Criteria<\/h2>\n

You made a new thing out of things
\nThere is attention to form, color, silhouettes
\nThe objects form new visual and symbolic relationships
\nThe elements form a cohesive unit, it looks like a sculpture or an art installation, you didn’t make a diorama<\/p>\n

Template<\/h2>\n

Download this package<\/strong><\/a> (virtual sculpture, assets from Everything)
\n<\/span>
\nOpen Unity Hub
\nNew project
\nSelect 3D core
\nGive it a name that makes sense like Virtual Sculpture
\nSelect a location that makes sense like your external hard drive or the local document folder
\nConfirm, it will take a few minutes
\nDouble click on the package with Unity open, import everything.
\nOpen the scene Sculpture and save it as something else like SculpturePaolo<\/p>\n
