Preface

Task: build your track


If you open the Unity3D project folder named Chapter 7 Unity Project, you will find the Scene1.unity file in the Assets folder.

Now, using the Prefabs and Objects in the _Prefab_Roads folder, create your own track in the scene. Be sure to use vertex snapping to align the roads perfectly. Creating a track is simply a matter of dragging in the Prefabs and aligning them. Be as creative as you like.

You can find a sample track in the game object named ZZZ_Answers. Simply enable the Track game object and its children to see the sample track.
