3D Greyboxing using ProBuilder in Unity 2021.3.0f1

Create a simple scene using shapes by Greyboxing! This is a near perfect resource if you want to transition to Maya 3D and is starting fresh. Remember, that we don't use this to create a final game structure right away. Our novice developers who like to create a 3D platformer project have to begin drafting first.

My platformer as you see before me is my simple model of a few cylinders and a modeled house.

We used Windows 10 Pro version to run the Unity Editor.

Fishy's Pro Tips:

ALWAYS DRAFT FIRST! It will be vital to create a level by drawing. We understand that art is not expertise but it is truly recommended since it only take a small bit of time in your mind before you can even create something playable and enjoyable.

Communicate your ideas with others and make sure you get the green light from them. Maybe your partners would like to see a much more advanced scene and get the results they want. Don't let them down and make you or themselves do all of the work. Resonate with your team and plan ahead!

Our team sends feedback using Trello so we can spot what's happening to those who suffer problems on creating a game model scene and from there, we send our feedback.

How to get started.

Open Unity and create a 3D game.

Using the latest version of Unity UI, go to Window, then select Package Manager

In the top left corner of the pop-up window, change the drop down menu to Packages from In Set to Unity Registry.

Scroll down and you'll search for ProBuilder. Install the package and import the assets.

Once installed, you will find a Tools section added on the Top Bar, there navigate to Tools, ProBuilder and ProBuilder Window.

A Probuilder Window Loads, then you can drag the window over to a blank spot.

Select on New Shape, from there on in, you can drag and add a new shape to the area. Make sure you select SCENE.

There are some cool links and resources on how to make your camera and shape view move with the Models you made:

1st Person movement in Unity

3rd Person movement

In my opinion......

Great way to teach others how to create a simple 3D scene with the necessary models and tools capable. If you do a Google Search of 3D Greyboxing Unity, there will be plenty more informative videos.
