Creating a Terrain in Unity 5

Hi,

I am using Sue Blackman’s book “Beginning 3D Game Development with Unity 4.” However, I downloaded Unity 5 from the Unity website onto my iMac.

When I get to the 4th chapter on Terrain creation, I really am not able to add any meaningful texture. None of the textures mentioned in her book are available. Even the ones that are available aren’t getting added to the Terrain object in the Scene.

Am I missing something?

Thanks folks!

The Easiest way for me to solve this was to download the source downloads…

Then I opened a finished chapters scene (ch 4 terain test)… the new version of unity converted a ton of settings, and makes the scene barely comprehensible… however I found the standard Assets folder and exported a copy of it to my project I needed it in, and then switched back to my actual project scene… and imported the new asset package over…

However after dealing with this all… and finding a lot of semi-useful stuff in the download zips… I read somewhere on the forums here that a version of the old unity 4 standard assets is still on the asset store.

My issue is that as i go along I find a few thing that don’t always work in the new version, I wish there was some discussion just focusing on this book, because a lot has changed in 2 years since it was written. If your interested at all, I will be trying to make a few threads to discuss this, I would greatly appreciate your participation.
