While the UWA games course was running the primary engine used was Neoaxis, which is horribly undocumented and unintuitive. Over the few years they started to recommend using Unity but only the minority of students used it. Out of the 3 years the course ran I only know of 2 or 3 student groups who used Unity.<br>
<br>To answer the original question as well, we use Unity at Spinfast. There seem to be a lot of Unity developers in Perth.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 25 April 2011 16:14, Nathan Scott <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kowbrainz@hotmail.com">kowbrainz@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

To Josh:<div>I'm a second year student at Curtin and while the university has installed Unity in the labs for Digital Design students, there aren't any units which deal with it anymore. Even if there was, I can't see many of the students I'm currently working with being motivated enough to work towards a finished product using the engine.<div>
<br></div><div>So needless to say I've gotten a bit fed up with the course in terms of relevance to games design (the course handbook made it seem better). Thinking of switching to a course at Murdoch now.</div><div><br>

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">At ECU we typically learn with a number of different programs.
In Game Design and Production we were using Torque, which a lot of people
disliked (myself included) because of a lack of documentation. Many of us have
started using the Unreal Developer Kit, which is absolutely fantastic since it
means that multimedia students doing Flash can get involved by doing UI’s. Many
other students in that class were using Flash to make their games. In the Games
Project unit I believe it, too, is your choice of engine. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">The only unit where Unity is used primarily is in Game Level
Design to my knowledge. I’ve not yet done that class to be able to give any
feedback on it, however.</span></p>

<p>Yep, we use Unity a lot at Murdoch. For freshly
graduated programmers with unity experience, get in touch with murdoch's ITS
department. For game artists with unity experience, get in touch with me.
:). We are about to graduate our first class of Games Art students. If
anyone's in a position to hire them in Perth, they'll have a distinct advantage
over the other people hiring these excellent graduates! :)</p>

<p>What's the Unity exposure like at ECU and Curtin and UWA,
for games related degrees? I'd be interested to hear from the other schools.</p>

just starting with unity 3d, but it's pretty easy to pickup.<br>

I've already done some work with dynamic meshes and am currently working on an
