There are 3 modules in this course
This module introduces learners to the foundational concepts of rendering and transformation in Unity. Beginning with the rendering pipeline and coordinate systems, it progresses through spatial transformations such as translation, rotation, and scaling. By combining these transformation matrices, learners will understand how to manipulate objects in 3D space and control the virtual camera’s view. These essential techniques form the basis for creating visually coherent and dynamic scenes in Unity.

Frequently asked questions
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
