The 3D Humanoid Characters in Unity course is designed to help learners understand how to create, configure, and integrate humanoid characters within the Unity game engine. This course focuses on the essential principles of 3D character workflows, covering humanoid rigging concepts, animation setup, character controllers, and Unity’s humanoid animation system.

Learners will explore how humanoid models are prepared for Unity, how skeletons and avatars function, and how to manage movement, animations, and interactions inside a 3D environment. The course also introduces Unity’s Mecanim system, helping learners understand how to control animations efficiently while maintaining realistic character behaviour.

Throughout the course, learners gain a structured understanding of how 3D humanoid characters are used in games, simulations, virtual environments, and interactive applications. Core topics include importing 3D models, setting up humanoid rigs, applying animations, and optimising character performance for real-time projects.

This course is ideal for anyone looking to build foundational skills in 3D character creation for Unity, whether for game development, animation, or digital design. By completing this course, learners will strengthen their technical knowledge, improve their creative confidence, and develop valuable skills that support career growth in the gaming and interactive media industries.
