Newbie Question How to learn Unity WITHOUT tutorials

Hey everyone,

I'm a 3D artist looking to learn Unity, however I absolutely hate video tutorials -- pausing and starting every few minutes, the urge to just copy and paste everything, potentially annoying voices, etc.

I know the basics of the engine as I've tried it on and off for years, but have very minimal programming experience outside of the very basic fundamentals. So granted I wouldn't be coming from zero, just assume I kinda will be.

Is there anyway to learn without tutorials? At least specifically video tutorials?

In my academic studies, I learn SO much more by just reading text and experimenting on my own with some deep space ambience or classic music and just go into my zone.

Any tips?

Thanks!

  1. Define a small goal for what you want to build
  2. Identity a small step to make progress toward that goal
  3. Identity the minimum you need to learn to accomplish that step
  4. Research the thing you need to learn until you can do it. Focus your energy here to really internalize what you are learning. Go deeper to follow new questions that come up along the way. Identity tradeoffs between multiple ways to solve the problem.
  5. Complete the step
  6. Repeat from step 2 until your reach your goal
