3D Models - UO-DFM/SimCityOttawa-Documentation GitHub Wiki

All 3D models for Sim City Ottawa were developed using Blender.

All 3D models should be exported as a .FBX file from Blender into the Unity project under a Assets/Art/Models/<model_name>/ folder.

Each 3D model should have an associated prefab in the Assets/Prefabs folder and the prefab should be used to add the model to the different scenes.

The model should not be loaded directly into a scene.

Some models may require some behaviour which requires a script to control their behavior. The script will be considered a model controller script and should be found under Assets/Scripts/Controllers/<name_of_model>Controller.cs. The controller script can then be applied as a component on the top-level model game object in the prefab that represents the model.

Some models may have some animations associated with them. To use the animations, the model within the prefab requires an Animator component which requires a controller and avatar. The Animator controller for the model should be created as Assets/Art/Models/<name_of_model>/<name_of_model>.controller. The avatar gets generated from the .fbx file and is stored within the .fbx file. See the resource above for details on how to set this up.
