Build an Apartment

Project Overview

This project is a chance for you to combine and practice everything you learned in this section of the Nanodegree program. You'll be building a new apartment scene with nice lighting and custom animation. All the while, you'll be testing it in your Cardboard headset.

The goal is to design and create your own apartment based on several 3D models you'll be given. After you've laid out your scene then you'll deploy it to your phone. Next, you'll add lighting and animation.

Why this project?

In the most recent portion of the Nanodegree program, you learned about placing 3D models in a 3D scene, lighting, cameras, and basic animation. This project will give you an opportunity to try out all of those skills. At the end, you'll have a good-looking 3D environment that you built yourself and can share with others.

What will I learn?

This project is about combining various ideas and skills we’ve been practicing throughout the course. They include:

• Adding 3D models to a scene
• Moving, scaling, and rotating 3D models
• Deploying to your Cardboard Viewer
• Creating materials and assigning textures
• Creating animations and triggering them
• Creating lights and baking them
• Optimizing a scene for top performance
