Week 4-Self Study 3 -- Terrains and ProBuilder


Week 4 Self study: 

This week we learned about using terrains in Unity (Terrain tools package) and using ProBuilder tool. We also imported our tourist attraction material from previous exercises to the scene to help us with the project.

First, we learned about Terrains using Unity documents manual to understand the process of creating a mesh to our scene. Then we download Terrains tool from Package Manager and ProBuilder in Unity. 

Terrains Tool (creating a floor for the scene)

Using Terrain tool we created a floor environment for the map where we used brushes like : Bridge, Clone, Erosion and Noise. We also used modifiers to stack layers of terrains.

Use of Layers and Modifiers

After that we tried ProBuilder for the first time. 

ProBuilder Poly-shape with colour.

 

Creation of stairs and a platform for the tourist attraction using ProBuilder.


As a result, we added some stairs and platform using the ProBuilders tool. We also imported some materials for the next tutorial exercise and we also imported the barrel from previous tutorial.

This week has been very productive, as we implement more tools to maximize our scenes in Unity. The use of these new tools (Probuilder and Terrains) facilitate the process of creating new meshes and texturing objects. 

I am happy with what I have learned this week, although I need to spend more time practicing these new tools.
