Unity 5 2D: Introduction to Pathfinding

Learn how to move characters and objects from point A to B with this introduction to pathfinding in Unity 5. This training focuses on pathfinding in the 2D world: programming simple ways to connect different locations in 2D games. Jesse Freeman starts by explaining the data structures (graphs and nodes) and the A* pathfinding algorithm: the technology that makes traversal of 2D games possible. Then he shows you how to connect paths in a 2D map, and find the fastest path between two points. You'll also build a simple demo map to illustrate and test the pathfinding logic.

Topics include:

What is A*?
Adding node classes and properties
Storing and indexing graph nodes
Building the search class
Traversing the nodes
Searching adjacent nodes
Testing the search
Building a test map
Creating and coloring a grid

Master Photoshop's selection tools to gain precise results when compositing or performing advanced image alterations. These Photoshop tips are designed for photographers and photo editors who want a bit more control over their selections, whether selecting fine details like fur and hair, geometric shapes, ranges of color across an image, or noncontiguous objects like the gaps between the leaves of a tree. Photographer and educator Chris Orwig covers tools such as Marquee Selection, the Lasso, the Magic Wand, Quick Selection; the Refine and Color Range dialogs; and techniques for combining selections with adjustments such as sharpening and darkening. Plus, learn about the power of masks when it comes to making selections in Photoshop, which allows you to control adjustments on multiple layers.

Dungeon Architect is a plugin that extends the UE4 Editor to help streamline the level creation process.

Features:
-Build vast levels procedurally with a single click with various tweakable parameter, either at design time or at runtime.
-Manually design the layout of your levels for more artistic control with custom editor tools (Paint Brush Tool, Volumes etc) , and have the plugin automatically build the environment around it
-Define the look and feel of your level using a powerful -Graph based Theme Editor. This lets you instruct the plugin on the meshes and actors to populate around the level as it is being built (around walls, floor, doors, stairs etc)
-Theme files are saved as separate data asset so they can be reused between projects or can be swapped with other theme files to completely change the look
-Supports multiple themes on the same map. For e.g. Wood based architecture in one area, stone based in a nearby area. Override the theme on any part of your level using a custom volume actor
-Supports height variations on the level to make them more interesting!
-Full C++ source code access

In this first of two DVDs, Cameron Scott Davis discusses character design at its most fundamental. He begins with basic design theory, color and shape, and shows how to use them to visually tell a story with a character. Beginning with a loose story, Cameron takes you through his thought process when designing for games or animation. From brainstorming to loose sketching, reference gathering and silhouette studies, Cameron shows all the stages of ideation and ends with a finished line drawing that is ready for color.

In this Unity 4.6 tutorial we’ll take a look at how to create RPG style damage points. Using the new UI system we’ll animate and script UI text and images to display once a hit is registered on our zombie character.

Using colliders, tags and a raycast we’ll be able to detect when we’ve hit a specific area of our character. Each area will have specific damage points that will show with a special “critical” image that will flash when we hit the head.

Trees

can be made to interact with the environment, reacting to impenetrable object groups or shadow areas,
can be used to duplicate similar trees by simply copying them and regenerating them with a different seed,
can be made truly distinguished by shaping them with a grease pencil or outlining crown shapes with object groups,
are not limited to single trunk trees; multiple trunk trees or even hedges are just as easy.
Space Tree Pro is all about versatility. Where an established solution like Sapling is about hero trees and indeed allows for a more direct control, Space Tree Pro is about interaction with the environment, creating many trees in the middle distance without sacrificing their individuality while still offering you a efficient work-flow, a great deal of control, uv-mapped tree trunks and a handy starter pack.

Interact with the environment

Trees are assets that can define a scene. They can be the centre of attention, an important prop or just a background but in all those cases they add to the general mood by their shapes and colours. A key factor in the believability of a scene is how well the trees blend in with the environment. And this is where Space Tree Pro comes in, with it’s ability to create crown shapes based on how much light is available at a certain location, it’s awareness to prevent branches from growing into impenetrable buildings and the possibility to grow multiple interacting trees or bushes at once.

Create unique trees fast

Space Tree Pro offers a large number of options to shape a tree and stores this information along with the tree object itself. This allows for a quick way to generate similar but unique trees once you are satisfied with the general shape. Simply duplicate your tree, choose a new seed and update the tree. Trees along with their properties can be stored in any .blend file, which makes creating libraries of trees straightforward. You are not limited however to create trees with simple crown shapes: tree crowns can be shaped using groups of objects for their general shape, starting points for trunks can be defined using groups of empties and the general shape of a crown can be influenced with the grease pencil. In fact it is possible to create a tree or bush with just the grease pencil which gives you the possibility to create for example shrubs that are trained along walls or very irregular and distinctive ‘hero’ trees.

Get started immediately

Space Tree Pro comes bundled with several example trees that you can use as a basis for your own trees. A comprehensive and fully illustrated manual is provided as well and a YouTube play-list is provided with several walk-through tutorials.

Customize your trees

Shaping trees is not enough to create a convincing impression, leaves and fruits are essential too. You can of course use the sample trees provided or reuse the particle systems bundled with them but creating your own particle systems with leaves or other objects is possible as well and documented in the manual. In fact almost any aspect a generated tree is customizable. Each generated tree is uv mapped and comes with several weight and vertex color maps that can be used in bark materials or to control a particle system and all these features are documented as well.
