Project overview
In this chapter, we take on the role of an environment artist whose been tasked with creating an outdoor environment. We will use assets that I've placed in the example code as well as assets already provided to us by Unity for mesh placement. In addition to this, you will also learn some beginner-level design.
Your objectives
This project will be split into a number of tasks. It will be a simple step-by-step process from the beginning to end. Here is an outline of our tasks:
- Creating the exterior environment – Terrain
- Beautifying the environment – adding water, trees, and grass
- Building the atmosphere
- Designing the level layout and background

This chapter uses graphical assets that can be downloaded from the example code provided for this book on Packt's website:
