What you'll learn

In this series of Unity tutorials, we will create the basic functionality of instantiating armor as well as different materials for character customization. We'll start off by learning how to instantiate our character meshes into our scene. After that we'll dive into creating a basic interface using Unity's OnGUI function to help test how our characters and armor switch out. Then we'll push our character customization system even further by learning how to assign different materials to give our character a different appearance. We'll finally wrap it all up by optimizing our code to be more user-friendly. Software required: Unity 3.5.

Joshua is a devoted games author at Pluralsight. For years Joshua was 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 their own fantastic video games.
