Course Description:

Embark on an exciting journey to master the art of procedural mesh generation within Unity 5.6 and above! This intermediate-level course is designed to take you from the basics of coding simple shapes to the intricacies of crafting complex, fractal landscapes. 🛠️🎨

What You'll Learn:

• Understanding Mesh Properties: Get to know the components that make up a mesh, including vertices, edges, faces, UVs, normals, and tangents. 🔍

• Creating Shapes: Start by programming two-dimensional shapes like squares and triangles, then move on to three-dimensional forms such as cubes and spheres. 📐🌐

• Advanced Mesh Calculations: Master the calculations required for UVs, normals, tangents, and vertex colours to enhance the visual complexity of your meshes. 🎨🔧

• Terrain Generation with Noise Functions: Learn to utilize Perlin noise and fractal algorithms to create 2D terrain and 3D landscapes that look natural and varied. 🏞️🌄

• Programming Infinite Landscapes: Discover how to generate large, procedurally generated terrains that can be infinite in scope, perfect for expansive game worlds. 🌍✨

Why Take This Course?

Procedural generation is a powerful tool in the game developer's arsenal, enabling the creation of unique and diverse environments with minimal manual effort. Games like Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress have popularized this technique, but the applications are vast and extend beyond just terrain. Procedural generation can be used for texture creation, object placement, and even story generation!

By the end of this course, you'll be equipped to generate your own unique landscapes from code, ready to integrate into your games. Jenny provides detailed source code examples throughout the course to help you along the way. 📚💻
