Honors 104.502 Lecture 19 – Terrain and First-person Controller

April 11, 2016 by Chris Johnson. Filed under honors gamedev, lectures, spring 2016.

Agenda

what ?s
model this
on to 3D
terrain
custom first-person controller:
- strafing
- advancing
- adjusting height
- mouse rotation

TODO

Watch Unity’s Introduction to Heightmaps Live Training. On a 1/4 sheet, write down 2-3 questions or observations or plans for your final project. (The final project will be a 3D game. Are there particular things you’d like to discuss/demo in lecture that would help you accomplish your dreams?)

Note

Today we jump into the world of 3D. We’ll write our own first-person controller so we can navigate across terrain. We’ll look at issues of interpolation, strafing, advancing, and rotating the view with the mouse.
