ANIM T380 - Final

Unity Platform Generator

Description

• This tool lets you build procedural platforms in Unity using a spline tool.
  • 

Dependencies

• Dreamteck Splines: A Unity package that allows you to draw and generate meshes from splines.

Creating a Platform

• To create a platform, click GameObject -> 3D Object -> Spline Platform
  • 
  • Draw the spline by clicking Edit under the Spline Computer component and placing nodes in the scene.

Arguments

Unity Interface:

• Materials
  • Surface Material - Material for platform's top mesh
  • Wall Material - Material for platform's side mesh
• Surface
  • Shape
    • Depth - Depth of the top mesh
    • Expand - Buffer size of the top mesh.
  • UV Coordinates
    • UV Scale - UV scale of the top surface of the top mesh
    • Side UV Scale - UV scale of the side surface of the top mesh
• Wall
  • Shape
    • Depth - Depth of the wall mesh
    • Curve - Curve of the wall mesh. Straight down by default.
    • Curve Scale - Scale of the curve's influence. 0 is none, 10 is one-to-one with the curve graph.
    • Resolution - The number of rows of quads in the side mesh. A higher resolution is needed to for more detailed cures.
  • UV Coordinates
    • UV Scale - UV scale of the wall mesh
• Bake Meshes
  • Bakes the surface and wall meshes. This locks them in place and stops the spline from controlling them. Can be undone by clicking Revert Bake.

Examples

• Drawing spline curve:
  • 
• Assigning materials:
  • 
• Modifying dimensions:
  • 
• Assigning a curve to the walls:
  • 

Know Issues and Limitations

• Topology of non-flat surfaces can be erradic, so flat surfaces are recommended.
• Walls may clip through the surface when spline is not flat.

Planned Features

• Auto scale UVs on walls
• Add foliage cards to edge of platform surface
• Add option to convert from pro-builder meshes to spline platforms
