Unity: Design & Build Procedural Hex Maps

About this course

Master the design and construction of procedural hexagonal maps in Unity through a structured, mastery-based learning experience. This advanced course guides you from building pointy-top hex grids and coordinate systems to creating visually rich, interactive terrain using procedural generation techniques. You'll construct scalable hex grids, generate mesh geometry through triangulation, implement cube and offset coordinate systems, and debug cell positioning with practical tools. As you progress, you'll enhance your maps using surface shaders, vertex color blending, canvas-based interfaces, elevation systems, interpolation techniques, and slope classification for realistic terrain transitions. The course concludes with advanced procedural refinement using Perlin noise, vertex perturbation, reusable mesh structures, neighbor-based logic, and advanced triangulation methods. Designed for intermediate-to-advanced Unity developers, this course combines theory with hands-on implementation to help you build modular, reusable, and performance-conscious hex map systems. Each module builds on the previous one, enabling you to progressively analyze, apply, and refine procedural terrain generation techniques. Whether you're creating maps for games, simulations, or strategy environments, this course provides a practical framework for developing dynamic hexagonal terrain systems while strengthening your expertise in Unity procedural generation and mesh construction.
