Unity is a 3D design software that can be used to create character and environment designs for games. However, it is better suited for importing existing designs rather than creating them from scratch. Common issues include it having a difficult interface to use and objects being easy to accidentally modify or delete. While it allows for camera and character controls like a game studio, the programming aspects were not understood. More experience would be needed to feel confident using Unity for 3D production.
