Adding audio

I am enjoying adding some sounds for the final touches to the four sample pages of my interactive book.

I added sounds like a jungle enviroment, background music and sound effects. In this image below I combined the jungle sounds and Benito's sound effect for my cover page. I used Logic Pro and Audacity.



Below is an example of Benito's and the Owl's model and rigs:

Working with sprite sheets on Unity

I enjoy working with sprite sheets on Unity. You can add several elements to the scene like flowers, leaves.. and reuse them in other pages. Also when you create particles on unity the sprite sheets are very helpful. See some screen shots of my work in progress:

 These are some of the spritesheets I used to create the fire on the volcano, the lava and the smoke:

Working with Scripts on Unity

These are screenshots of my Scene in Unity, which has 4 spreads plus the cover and the credit page.
It has been a challenge for me to add code to some of the Unity objects since I am not a programmer, but with the help of my husband Jeff, and many hours of searching online on Unity forums and tutorials, I am able to move along with the process of creating some interaction on the book.
