Procedural Terrain Generation with Unity

Write your awesome label here.
The creation of beautiful virtual terrains isn't just the domain of the artist, but also of the programmer. What if you could use your programming skills in C# to manipulate a mesh to create realistic landscapes, using algorithms developed by researchers studying landscape formation and erosion? Well now you can.

By the end of this course you will understand how to mathematically generate a realistic terrain as well as have a thorough understanding of the Unity editor system.

Course Reviews

Awesome course! There's a lot of content and code, really well explained. A few minor differences regarding the current version of Unity and the one used on the videos, but nothing major, and easy to adapt.

This course is absolute gold! I am a Software Engineering Teacher as well as a solo game developer, and of all the courses I have taken on Udemy, this is has been the most useful and eye opening by far. Not to mention the community of people that are taking the course as well as past students are still engaging in conversations in the Q&A Section of each lecture.
