Absolute Beginner: Player Object FP + 3rdP

Hi there!

I'm kinda lost because the information base is so incledibly huge, I cannot seem to find a very basic starting info...

how do I place a "player" in a "world" to make it controlable FPS style (and later on switch to 3rdP and back)

I just don't find what kind of object to use... I looked up "Character Controller" and it speaks about the collision capsule...

I simply need the information, what object do I create and put upon my plane, box, terrain, whatever, to have my cam moved by WASD...

I found a reference to an FPS tutorial that was 404 meanwhile...

would be great if someone could point me to some starting information.
(I watched a bunch of videos, I played around with 2D playground a bit, I did the Roll-a-Ball Tut completely, I started John Lemon [wich didn't work at the end of chapter 2] and I can't seem to find any FPS tutorial)

thanks in advance!

PS:
okay, I just found "Creator Kit: FPS"...
it jumped into my face...
it's brand new, isn't it?
well, anyhow, thanks for reading my thread.
would delete it if I found the button... LOL

PPS:
okay, just for information to the staff:
the new tutorials do not appear on the old tutorial pages
https://unity3d.com/de/learn/tutorials
wich I bookmarked in my browser months ago.

 

My recommendation would be to start with Invector's free character controller which is available in the asset store. It has both the controls for camera and player movement.

oh... thank you!
this seems to be a 3rd Person controller... I'll look into it anyways.

I started this new FPS tutorial, and got a bit disappointed, because it does not seem to cover ANY concerns of the player controller itself.
the chapter list reads:
1. Get Started with the Creator Kit: FPS
2. Customize the Germ Targets
3. Design your Own Level
4. Modify the Doctor’s Weapons
5. Create a Level Endpoint
6. Onward and upward!

... there's no chapter how and why-that-way put a player object into an empty level...

because I want to create own levels, experiment with Unity's Terrain and Tree and Grass and all aspects of LOD and such, and I need a PlayerController to simply walk through a level I created...
