How a player moves through a virtual space is not always clear and straightforward. Defining physics objects to interact with each other in a clean and expected manner is important to creating any game. In this video, I describe how to move a kinematic character controller through a 3D space using unity and provide visualizations and examples. The project that this kinematic character controller is a part of is open source and can be found at the GitHub project link in this description. I will be continue making new videos in this series going over more details on how the character controller camera work in Unity.
