How to create 3D hex tile maps?

Unity Engine
1

Hi, I’m new to Unity and was wondering how you would do this. When I create a hexagonal tile map, the option for sprites is 2D only. Is there a way to use a 3D model as the “sprite” for the hex so it would look similar to the the game civilization. I am able to create the models themselves, I was just wondering how you would actually implement them.

Thanks for the help!

Just position them yourself in code. A hex grid is just an ordinary grid, where every other row (or column, if you prefer) is shifted by one half the cell size.
