With these requirements in mind, let's build the framework:
Create a plane, positioned at (
0,0,0), and name itground.Under Edit | Render Settings, go to the Skybox Material panel of the Inspector pane, and add one of the skybox materials from the skybox package.
The GameObject drop-down menu is where you can select different types of basic Unity3D objects to populate your world. Create a directional light to the scene from GameObject | Create Other, and place it at (
0,10,0) for readability. Set its orientation to something like (50,330,0) to achieve a neat shading effect on the player capsule. In our world, the y axis will mean "in the air" and the x and z axes will correspond to the horizontal plane of the world.
Congratulations! You have created the testbed for this chapter. Now let's add the character system.
