Unity 3D & Blender - Learn Level Design

Blender and Unity 3D are both open source programs used by games designers all over the world. Developed by their community of users, they construct games that operate on almost all platforms; from consoles and desktops to mobile and websites. Unity 3D is a game engine mainly used to create multi-platform 3D and 2D games, whereas, Blender is used in the creation of animated films, visual effects, art, 3D printed models, 3D applications and video games. Unity 3D also provides features such as ads, analytics, cloud building and multiplayer networking, while Blender additionally provides features such as 3D modeling, UV unwrapping, texturing, animating and video editing. Gaining a knowledge of both programs is hugely beneficial to any game developer, as it fine-tunes your insight and intuition for creating multi-faceted, compelling and exciting game levels.

Level design is a critical component to all games, but a component that can be difficult to get right.
