A couple of questions for those of you using CF


Best Answer Kablammo11 , 03 February 2015 - 05:42 PM

It should work with 4.6.2, but keep in mind that the current version of CF was built for a lower version number.

You can download it from Unity 3D - if you look closely, you also get to download an earlier version number. I'm currently on 4.5.

A couple of questions for those of you using CF:

1) Should I download Unity while I wait for the release of CF?

2) If so, is there a benefit to doing so and are there "things" I can learn/do to with Unity to prepare myself for CF?

3) Or should I just wait?

 

Your responses and time will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Yes Download it and get very accustomed to using it...I am not using CF but from what I have read and seen CF mainly does the golf course stuff and Unity does the rest...Planting, Terrain Manipulation, Water etc

Cheers RobC

1) I recommend that you do. It's not strictly necessary, though. 

 

2a) Unity is a complex software with a specialised interface that you need to familiarise yourself with. It took me a few days, for instance, to master the simple task of shifting my view and moving across the terrain quickly. Not because it's hard, it simply needs a little practice.

2b) If you want to build a fictional course, you can start prepping a terrain, sculpt elevations, apply textures, import objects etc. 

2c) Two thirds of your course design work will be accomplished without CF and with Unity alone. You might want to absorb as much of Unity as you can so that when you get CF, you can focus on CF exclusively (which will be a lot easier to come to grips with if you are familiar with Unity). Also, you will have to invest time into Unity one way or another, now or later, so you might as well do it now.

 

3) Up to you, really. Follow your instincts.

People are different, Ian. I totally needed to pop my Unity cherry before CF became available. Others, more nimble and versatile than me, can do it the hard way, I suppose.

Wait... you are using CF, too?  :P

Oops! One more question.

Is Unity 4.6.2 compatible with CF? I presume so. But since you guys know more than me thought I'd ask.

And I presume it can be found at unity 3d?
