How would you go about making a hole for a mini golf or a “putt putt” game?
I may be able to figure out the hole in terms of collision and that providing a “win game” or “next level”, but I cannot figure out what tools to use to “carve” a hole into my terrain…
If you actually need to have the ball sink, or not, I would create a trigger the size of the hole. And make it so that any time the ball goes into it, you have a hole made. As far as the actual hole and a ball falling thru it… and having the hole, visually be a hole, I am not sure. I am a 2D guy.
Hm, thanks for the input.
When googling I actually just found a link to visually show what I mean
http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/78805-3D-Mini-Golf-Construction-Kit
It is a “construction kit” for making a mini golf game.
Now, I do not want to purchase this as I am interested in making my own standards and to figure it out myself (and I’m not on a time constraint).
Do you think a kit like this was modeled in another program and then imported into Unity turning them into prefabs?
Or is it possible to do graphics such as this inside of Unity itself?
If that isn’t clear enough, I mean that inside of Unity I cannot figure out the tools to create a terrain with half moons, etc. Not to mention the hole itself…
Thoughts?
My bet is Unity can handle such a thing. These assets are things anyone can build. They just have to have the know how and gumption. Assets are great as they save other people time to figure out the tricky things.
It is possible to do it in Unity 3D. For instance check this video that I had released a while ago:
As you can see the boxes are distorted while colliding with stuff. In a similar fashion you can make holes in a golf field.
I guess that Mini Golf Construction Kit uses premade 3D models done on some other software. It also is a very nice Kit as far as I can see.
I actually can provide you a script to make holes on the field, however it would be much more economical for you to just buy Mini Golf Construction Kit and use that. Or you can start learning mesh stuff and do it yourself. The procedural mesh tutorial can be a good place to start.
its best just to make some mini putt courses and then place them onto the terrain. Blender is a really good free 3d meshing program and very easy to use.
