Unity Standard Assets

The Characters package in Unity Standard Assets comes with a number of third- and first-person character prefab objects. These prefab objects are compared in the following tables:

Let's discuss this in more detail.

ThirdPersonController

We've already used both of the third-person prefabs, ThirdPersonController and AIThirdPersonController, in Chapter 2, Objects and Scale, and Chapter 4, Gaze-based Control, respectively.

The ThirdPersonController prefab has child objects that define the character's body, namely, our friend Ethan. He is a rigged avatar (from the .fbx file), which means that humanoid animations can be applied to make him walk, run, jump, and so on.

The ThirdPersonController prefab uses a Rigidbody for physics and Capsule Collider for collision detection.

It has two scripts. A ThirdPersonUserControl script takes user input, such as keyboard presses, and tells the character to move, jump, and so on. A ThirdPersonCharacter script implements physics behind movements and calls the animations that are needed for running, crouching, and so on.
