Lets start with something simple: Object Rotation The following snippet will change an objects rotation to a specific degree. The scripts should be attached to [...]
Hours out from the Mochi website closure, I started feeling nostalgic and a little sad. I began reflecting on what Mochi meant to me, and the impact it had on my career. I reminisced back to 2005 when I was first introduced to Flash. It was a great discovery for me at the time, and [...]

In this tutorial series I will be explaining how to get the Microsoft Kinect sensor installed on your desktop PC and [...]
I have decided to start the new year by taking a closer look at 3D programming for the web via Canvas and WebGL. For those that don’t know, I am trained as a 3D modeler and animator, although I turned from those paths to focus on development. I now feel accomplished enough as a developer to turn [...]
Unity3D allows developers to create 2D and 3D interfaces. In this tutorial I will be explaining how to set up a simple GUI (graphical user interface) or HUD (heads up display), which shows the lives/score of a player. There are currently several 3rd party UI building solutions for Unity, such as Autodesk’s ScaleForm or UniSWF. Both [...]
I recently started serving Admob ads for a new mobile game I’m working on. The complexity while be be influenced by the the NativeExtension used.

Start is only called once in the lifetime of the behaviour. The difference between Awake and Start is that Start is only called if the [...]
In Unity3D Sky’s and background textures are created using a “Skybox”, which is a textured cube surrounding the play area in a scene. Skyboxes are super simple to set up in Unity, read on to find out how. […]
