Saving your project!
Unity isn’t ONE FILE like a .PSD, it’s a collection of files in your folder. Your scene file is important, when you hit Ctrl+S you’re saving the changes you’ve made to your scene file, but all of your images and prefabs and animations for the flying camera are in the folders next to your scene file.
Double click in the project tab and select “Show in Explorer”. Move up a folder or two until you see the Assets and Project Settings folders
Select both folders and right click > Send to > compressed zipped folder - This is the file you need to take home. Call it “Week4 Game Graphics” or whatever you like.
When you get home, move the zipped folder to your desktop or documents and unzip it. Drill down to your Scene folder and (assuming you have Unity3D installed) double-click on your scene file to open it with Unity.
