3D border cube

Getting Started
1

Hi,

Super beginner question which will be easy to answer I’m sure…

I want to create a 3D space containing cubes that are connected by lines. With the occasional group of cubes surrounded by a wireframe (essentially a cube with no sides only edges). Finally I’d like to be able to rotate the scene via the mouse so you can see the cubes from any angle (though limit rotation around x an y only).

Before I embark on this I thought I’d ask for tips the best way to achieve these things. I don’t need click by click info. Just “what” do you suggest I do.

I will look up “how” to do things but I need some guidance on what to look up!

Many thanks for any help.

  1. For the lines check out the line renderer component in Unity.

  2. I haven’t tried it but this shader should work for the cubes: http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/BarycentricWireframeUv1

  3. Alternately, you could use the line renderer for the cubes.
