Looking for online Unity tutor

Hello, I’m in need of someone who can help me with development of my games (for a research project). The forums are really useful but I run into roadblocks that I just can’t get past and it’s eating up my time - it would be incredibly helpful to have an adviser “on tap”. Willing to pay generously.

 

If you need help, you can DM me for free.
But keep in mind that there are topics (like shaders) where my knowledge is zero.

 

What kind of a roadblock? "I don't know how to do X" or "I don't know what thing A does"?

 

More "I'm trying to do X and can't get it to work and am not sure why"

 

That's really kind, but honestly I think I would prefer a more formal paid arrangement so I don't worry about wasting someone's time

 

I mean, why not make posts in the appropriate sub forums with your issues?

 

Before you spend any money, here's an advice: take all the problems that you currently have with your project, write them out and begin asking the forums about each one step by step first. Chances are that you might be missing something really obvious.
While you've specified that it's eating your time, unless you have something that you need to do ASAP, try this approach out.

 

If he has money to burn, human tutor is the fastest way to learn.

There's commercial collaboration forum so you could try there.

Honestly I wouldn't mind taking a look myself, but I likely have an accent, and at the moment the only way to pay for anything to me is crypto and wire transaction in chinese yuan, which is gonna be incredibly inconvenient for majority of people.

 

I'm really looking for something more interactive - it's very time consuming hunting through forums etc and I learn much faster from a real human

 

Hence "make posts", ergo make your own threads, rather than trawling through existing post.

Costs you nothing but some time.

 

That's what I have been doing - it's gotten me a certain way along the path but sometimes I get stuck and waste hours trying to solve something that turned out to have a simple cause. I just want someone I can contact and say "Why isn't this working" and they'll say "Oh you needed to set the blah blah" and then maybe give me a quick tutorial on what blah is, thus saving me hours, and also teaching me something (at least that's the plan). Like, right now I'm stuck on lightmapping. I've hunted through various posts in various places and wtached videos etc and found out lots of stuff but for some reason I can't get my model to bake. I've spent literally days trying to solve what I'm sure is a really simple issue for someone who knows what they're doing.

 

You won't learn in this thread much.
First lesson you should take from this thread, is to post it in the right place, as a job, or collab offer.

Then people will PM you, if they are interested.

Secondly, you could create dedicated thread, in correct sub forum, to describe the challange you are facing. That will bring interaction from the community and the contribution.

 

Hours? I spent month on silly errors, the silliest, the least likely someone can help you, like using the wrong reference to another object but it doesn't throw error and behavior point to an entirely different part of the code that is fine. If you reach that level of error, an occasional tutor won't help, it will just that see the code is fine, you'll need a team mate programer working with you that will help co develop the architecture.

If you are not at that level brace yourself for that potential future.

 

The accent is no problem! Crypto, a little more... but thanks for the commercial forum suggestion I'll try there

 

"Some time" is what I'm trying to buy with money

 

Your wallet I guess.

Just that the time you spent on this thread could've been spent on a thread to get help for your problem.

 

Absolutely, but i'd call that "money well invested" and not wasted .

If you have money to spend and time limits, then perhaps it would be a better idea to just find someone to do some tasks for you?

 

Fiverr might be worth a try: https://www.fiverr.com/search/gigs?...search-autocomplete-original-term=teach unity

 

What time zone are you in? You're welcome to PM me if you'd like to see if we can work something out.

Unity used to have a site for exactly this, but I think it was retired?
