Within the workshop we will learn how to turn a blank and empty space into a very basic game environment starting with terrain then building things like trees and water.

We will Use:

Unity is a simple game engine that allows you to produce Games in full 3d without having to use any complicated coding. The engine is ideal for people who have great ideas for games but arent coding masters.

However as much as the engine is easy to use and very effective, It can not support massive amounts of NPCs or players inside the game. So it is not ideal for multiplayer or huge fighting scenes with many on screen characters.

However there are many games that have been created with the unity engine. Games Like Slender The Arrival

And Temple Run 2



So the first thing we will want to do is create a textured flooring to the game. This is the basic creation of a terrain in the game which is a fairly large game envronment at first it will be white so you will need to add a texture this is an extremely simple process which involves selecting the terrain clicking on texture and then add texture.



Now we will add a first person controller to our game which will allow us to walk around You can do this by browsing the folders at the bottom right of the screen and finding the folder controllers the selecting first person controller. THIRD PERSON CONTROLLERS DO NOT WORK AT THIS STAGE.



Now we are going to add our very first detail. A Tree

This is a slightly more complicate process. You will need to go to game objects, add, tree. Once you have done this you will have a Basic untextured tree with no leaves now we will need to add a texture and leaves on the tree. You can add leaves by clicking on leaf button with the plus on it. To add a texture you can click add texture and select the texture for bark and leaves seperatley or you will have a very funny looking tree.

Next we are going to mass produce our trees into a forest. You can do this by selecting the terrain and click the add trees button. Something will appear saying no tree selected. Click on this and select the big tree.



Next we will add some basic water to the scene. This can be done by selecting the option for the toolbars above. This is easy because no texture needs to be added to the water because it is pre textured.



Now we are going to add a skybox to the camera because it is much easier to render the sky for the whole scene by applying it to the camera as oppsed to attempting to add it to the general scene.



That is a basic functioning game environment click game view to have a move around.
