Here's the last tutorial of 2016. There will be lots more in 2017!

Rendering, part 11
Transparency

 

Looking forward to more! I'm on Rendering part 3 (I started from the beginning). I find your approach refreshing as you don't take math and other conventions for granted explanatory-wise when you're working through the code.

I'm just curious - what else do you have planned for this year? Any different tutorial series? Perhaps something like a set up for a game? (Thinking of how one might set up genres of games like RPGs, FPS, 2D pixel, etc).

 

I'm glad that my approach works for you!

I'll wrap up the Hex Map and Rendering series this year. What comes after that is a surprise.

 

Here's my first tutorial of 2017!

Love the tutorials! I'm meandering my way to marching squares and was wondering if you are interested in making a marching cubes tutorial as a follow on? Thanks!

 

I might do that at some point.

You get the error because you haven't put anything in the meshes array yet, via the inspector. Thus, it fails when the code tries to access index zero of the empty array.

 

OMG, got it. >_< :-D Embarrasing. :-]

Just started doing these tutorials and they are amazing! A really nice and easy way to learn how to work with C# and the Unity Engine. I'm looking forward to more!

Hey there!

First off, I really love your tutorials. I'm enjoying the HexMap-Tutorial at the moment.
Unfortunately, I do have one problem and hope you could help me solve it.

I'm currently stuck at part 14 - Terrain Textures - and I pretty much finished it to the end. When I go into Unity, the console prints out an error that says that

I don't really know what that means. I checked every line of code a few times and still wasn't able to solve this on my own.
The sand-texture is showing up, but I'm not able to change the cells terrains.

I skipped some parts of this series because I thought I won't need them for my project. (The parts with irregularity, rivers, roads, terrain features, walls and "more features"). I adapted the code where it was needed.

The error is thrown in this line:

Code (CSharp):

1. hexMesh.SetUVs(2, terrainTypes);

Could you help me?
cheers!
