Project Overview

The 3D Visualization Graph is a completed Unity project developed in C#, heavily inspired by the tutorials from Catlike Coding. This project demonstrates advanced 3D graphics programming, mathematical function visualization, and real-time animation techniques in Unity. By following and expanding upon the concepts presented in Catlike Coding's tutorials, this project showcases the practical application of complex graphics programming principles.

Key Features

  • 3D function graph visualization using cubes
  • Real-time animation with time-based transformations
  • Dynamic graph updates using Unity's Update function
  • Enhanced 3D representation with Y-axis integration
  • Optimized visualization using planes instead of axes

Development Process

  1. Initial setup: Instantiating multiple cubes in a 3D environment to represent the function graph
  2. Animation implementation: Adding a time factor and utilizing Unity's Update function for frame-by-frame position changes
  3. 3D enhancement: Integrating the Y-axis to create a fully three-dimensional graph
  4. Optimization: Refactoring the logic to use planes instead of individual axes for improved performance and cleaner visuals

Technical Details

  • Developed using Unity game engine
  • Programmed in C# for efficient performance
  • Utilizes Unity's built-in 3D rendering capabilities
  • Implements custom shaders for enhanced visual effects
  • Optimized for real-time updates and smooth animations
