Night Chill 😌
Yep, it's about that time when I share the last post for the day and cover the latest progress before I leave you guys for the night with your families and friends. Hope you enjoy this mellow track as I write this update.
Here we go...
Unity Now on Linux
I managed to install Unity on Linux and made sure I could update the project files (because there was a newer version released in the last few days). But all went well and I can now do all of the creative work and even most of the coding on the Linux setup, which I'm really starting to prefer over the Windows OS. Some things still need Windows, but I am getting more comfortable with the new system.
Materials & Textures
While I'm learning more about Unity and Blender, I'm also focusing on building a set of materials that I can apply in Unity. Both materials and their texture files can be downloaded for blender files. In Unity, I am building my own elements and if all goes well, some of these might be available later (much, much later 
).
But the process is a great learning experience and lots of fun once you get used to the workflow, interfaces and design ideas. Really enjoying it tbh.
3D UI Development Concepts
With all the possibilities that these design programs open up, I've had to think and get a little creative about the kinds of things that the MOOVPAD UI can/should do for users. So right now my focus (besides the coding) is deciding what kinds of approaches I can use to enhance UX through a better designed UI. And there are lots of potential approaches and methods, so I'm looking at a wide range of options. More on that later.
For now though, I'll wish you the best for your day/night ahead, and catch you guys tomorrow.
Stay awesome as always,
EMH
