This advanced Unity course empowers learners to design, construct, and enhance interactive hexagonal maps using procedural generation techniques. Through six structured modules, participants will progressively apply, analyze, and synthesize concepts such as hex geometry, mesh triangulation, elevation control, and Perlin noise implementation to build dynamic terrain systems. Each module integrates hands-on practice with theoretical explanations, encouraging learners to evaluate map behavior, organize modular code structures, and develop reusable systems for real-time applications.
Starting with foundational grid construction, learners will explore advanced concepts including slope classification, vertex perturbation, and neighbor-based logic for terrain transitions. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to engineer visually engaging, data-driven hex maps tailored for games, simulations, and strategic environments.
This course is ideal for intermediate-to-advanced Unity developers seeking to elevate their procedural generation capabilities and demonstrate mastery in terrain system development through performance-optimized and visually rich hexagonal designs.
This module introduces the foundational principles of creating and managing hexagonal maps in Unity. Learners will explore the theory and implementation of pointy-top hex grids, including their geometry, layout logic, and coordinate systems. The module also covers the setup of reusable structures using arrays and user interface components for interaction with the hex grid. By the end of the module, learners will be equipped to construct and visualize a scalable hexagonal grid within Unity’s 3D environment.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
