Terrain tips & tricks | Unity 2019 -Tutorial

[@AXLplosion]

Awesome! Most terrain tutorials are too generic, and really only show how the basic things work. Also, it's super straight to the point, only useful tips throughout the whole video. Maybe the best Unity tutorial I've ever seen.

[@sketch3436]

Wow thanks, that's awesome to hear, I really appreciate it 😊

I've watched hours of tutorial videos on Terrain Building, and this is by far the most-densely packed video of actually useful tips! Thank you!

[@erikm9768]

The dust cloud tip was good!

[@sketch3436]

Thanks😊

[@xaviergordon1343]

@@sketch3436 Yeah it made me ditch using fancy skyboxes as the dust clouds are 3d and look way better and there settings can be changed more so that is a great tip

[@danielwhyatt3278]

I'm soooo happy someone has finally done a video like this. Good helpful tips that not everyone who's really just starting out might be aware of and a proper voice-over and isn't sped up. Love more like these in the future.

[@Stonium]

This was great. As a dev that doesn't really know much about the visual side of things, this will help immensely! Thanks.

[@sketch3436]

That's awesome to hear, glad I could help 😊

[@Silmerano]

I've never built a game before, but I find world building to be incredibly fun and relaxing. I spent some time in a few other engines in the past. I'm just starting with Unity. This is the second of your videos I've seen. They are really well made and informative. Thank you.

[@sketch3436]

It's awesome to hear that you enjoy world-building, since, that is the same reason that I decided to learn Unity and just programming in general. It can take a bit of time to learn an engine (I find Unity was the easiest for me to grasp when I was looking at other engines) but it will pay off, the ability to craft your own worlds and then walk around them is an awesome feeling. Also, thanks, it's nice to hear that you find my videos informative 😊. Good luck with learning Unity!

[@workhorsebytes]

What a fantastic tutorial! This is helping me with my current project, even though it's nowhere near as complex as your scenes. Thank you so much!!

[@Lyzrinn]

I especially liked the tips about the ambient lighting’s colors. I felt like something was missing in my builds and this definitely helped

[@ComedyTimeToons]

Thanks so much dude.....

[@mattackaigaming8527]

This video is fantastic mate. You've made me realize just how much of an art form terrain creation is.

[@sketch3436]

I gave the terrain tools a try before watching this video and felt so uncomfortable trying to make a terrain. After this video everything is more clear and will definitely improve my experience!! Thank you so much

Another subscriber here. I hope you never change brother. You don't hide the little details that matter and give useful information, a thousand thanks! In a sense, I'm glad you aren't that famous but I hope other indie game devs find you as well. They will gain so much time and concise knowledge. I will be unsubscribing from tons of youtube game dev channels, you just demolished a huge % of them! If you end up having a Patreon or something I would subscribe. Cheers brother!

Thanks, I really appreciate. Hopefully, it does not take too long to save up for a PC, should be a good investment 😊

[@williamjones0]

I really liked this video: it was concise and informative. I'm currently trying to make something along the lines of your river scene. For an upcoming video, it might be nice if you made a scene of some description but talked through your assets, brushes, etc. This would be really helpful for beginners like me! :-) Thanks!

[@sketch3436]

Thanks, it's awesome to hear that you enjoy my content. It's interesting that you mention a video like that as I actually plan for one of my next videos to be a follow along level design, using free assets so everyone has the ability to recreate exactly what I create :)

[@polarsvisuals4132]

Absolutely love this video! Gave me so much information before I start. I was wondering, can you do a tutorial on how to start with terrains? Like a beginners guide? And do we have to use the Render Pipelines like LWRP or can we just do it in the standard 3D Template?

[@sketch3436]

That's awesome to hear and also thanks for the suggestion. Regarding render pipelines, the terrain system is in all of them so you can choose whichever one you want. However, I would recommend starting off with the standard 3D template.

Great tips. If I wanted to create a game that restricts the player to a small play area, say 50m x 50m but I wanted the world to look vast with distant mountains etc, would you create a much larger terrain with trees etc even though the player could never go there? Or would you use a smaller bowl shaped terrain to enclose the play area and then surround it by a textured skybox? Is there a performance hit with a larger terrain?
