What We Liked
- This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Unity 3D physics specifically tailored towards helicopters, including advanced C# concepts such as inheritance, interfaces, properties, and namespaces.
- The instructor's industry experience adds significant value, making the course engaging with well-organized conventions that are not commonly found in other beginner courses.
- Attendees will build a re-usable weapon system with hands-on guidance through the set up of flexible input systems and camera building using re-usable code.
- Thoughtfully structured with long-term value for learners, covering essential aspects such as organizing Unity projects, beginning to plan out a Unity project or system, editor scripting, and physics principles.
Potential Drawbacks
- Some subscribers express frustration regarding sections where the instructors' code is altered off-camera, creating complications when following along.
- The course covers extensive content beyond helicopter physics that may not appeal to those primarily focused on physics based learning objectives.
- A few learners find the explanation of certain concepts unnecessarily lengthy, such as program explanations, which detract from the main course subject matter.
- Some aspects remain undeveloped or implemented including ropes for picking up objects and features like the rocket launcher. There is no project source provided to assist learners.
