How To Visually Develop (& Share) Your Trinket.

An advanced 2d artist or visual creative?

Looking for more experience in the stylisation and illustration of objects?

Interested in what a trinket is?

Or already a trinket appreciator who wants to show and tell?

A complete visually developed trinket, consisting out of..

And a full illustration with interaction in mind.

• An advanced competency in digital 2d art. Including but not limited to: a pro understanding of digital art software, usage of a visual repertoire, understanding of shape/composition/space/aesthetics and a general illustrative capability.

• A basic understanding of Unity. Primarily software navigation and customisation of assets.

• Photoshop or a similar digital art software.

• Unity version 2020.3.14f1

• Unity package create your own!

• Half an hour of your time to read everything, couple of days to execute the steps (depending on your speed).

The navigation bar at the top of the page is organised in sections; conceptualise, execute and finish. In conceptualise, we will look at a trinket as subject and lay the groundwork for our visuals. In execute, you'll create all that makes a visually developed trinket as seen above. In finish, we get to turn it into a game and share it with others.

So every section exists out of a few steps. I recommend you follow every step in order but you're free to check out the content you find interesting specifically:
